Friday, October 29th: Capturing images of succes

Where do you see 'success' at Parkway? How can you capture it in a photograph?




The theme at Parkway this Friday was “success.” We examined our individual concepts of success through free association—thinking of the first word that came to mind when thinking of the word “success.” From there we flexed our interpretive muscles by examining quotes about the nature of success in a rapid-fire succession (pun intended) and writing down the words that stood out to us in those quotes. We discussed what prompted us to think about success in this manner and actively worked in groups to define what success means to us now. To enhance this experience, we sought out images within the building that conveyed these feelings in our concept of achievement, photographed them, and presented them to the class with unique captions and descriptions. This session was an excellent exploration of our minds and our worlds as students— not just of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or Parkway— but as students of life. -- Allyson Schmieder
