The Beginning

For Critical Studies and Creative Development we had to execute a body intervention for a period of 10 days. This project is based around living out of my comfort zone and adopting a situation that will have a personal affect on me. 

I decided after a difficult process to become a 10-year-old girl for ten days. Using my cousin as my coach I will follow and live her life. By getting into the head and living like her I will adapt the mindset. This is going to be a difficult process as I have been independent of my parents since I was 10 living on my own with another family. Not to mention I started boarding school when I was 5. So this project is taking me back to when I was younger and went through a change in my life. Becoming mature and independent from so young.

Over the next 10 days the challenge for me includes following a strict routine set by my mum. Having a bedtime, homework time and quiet time. There is also the disconnection with my cell phone, Facebook and TV programs all due to the legal age. Not too mention no driving, drinking or smoking. So from now on it’s reading my book and fun sleepovers with twister. The biggest challenge will also be speaking out in class and not being shy about people laughing at me. Not stressing or worrying and no negativity because I am refining my life to the simple things.

So here goes….
