The Importance of Creating Memories and Reflecting

By: S. Dreicon

The school year is almost at an end, and over the course of these months most of you have undoubtedly created memories, in the face of the many notable events present. The importance of having fun in school and creating resilience to study and keep productive can also be a kind of reflection and a way of remembering your strengths throughout the year. By reflecting on past experiences, people can gain insights into their identity and how they have changed over time. Also sharing memories with others can strengthen relationships and create a sense of shared history. 

Sometimes reflecting can be difficult and a challenge, especially for those who have been through a lot of experience throughout these whole twelve months. To remember important and memorable events you can; create a memory book or digital photo album with pictures and captions about each challenge you faced during this year, or you can also write letters about your recent ongoing and maybe start to write about what you think it's happening in the future! These are some fun ways of recollecting memories and connecting better with yourselves.  

Memories are the fabric of our lives, connecting our past with the present and shaping our future. Creating memories and remembering the main events can be a great comparison for yourself. People change and grow though time, it's an excellent exercise for your mind and self-respect. It's great to look back at yourself and think about how much you evolved and gained more resilience or became a better person for example.  

It is important to set goals and carry them out during our lives. Setting goals and creating ideas to execute can bring us more happiness and a better vision about the future, such as doing more sports, studying more, less screen time etc... All of these are ideas that you can use to be more productive and become a better person in the future. Also, by creating goals in our lives we can celebrate accomplishments and be a better person with ourselves, giving more value to life and a purpose to make a change in us because setting goals can also be a way of creating more good memories to our lifetimes.
