I wanted to use my project to describe my life balancing academics with athletics, along with making time to have fun and spend time with family. It was my goal for this project to capture geniune moments of family and community, mixed with aspects of balancing life as a student athlete. Im trying to communicate, not only the feeling of stress and being overworked, but also the idea of how important family and the small moments of joy are thoughout life. I also wanted to incorporate the idea of my cycle of injury, and how I was visiting the place where I was injured and I am about to start another cycle of treatments. It's this constant repeating cycle between school and sports. I wanted to create a mix of photos displaying routine in my life, yet also demonstrating special moments of peace and family.
My favorite image is either the first or second ones. I like how the second one represents the daily routine and cycle of my life between athletics and academics. Wheras the first one represents a candid moment of emotion between me and my cousin, at my great aunts retirement party, showing how even after hard days you can still enjoy time with your family while balancing academics and athletics.
