Personal Narrative: My Heart Map

My heart map represents all the elements that make me, me. I chose the most important things to me to put on my map. Friends and family are important to me and have a huge impact on my life. I made a four chamber heart to put my photos on because a four-chambered heart is realistic. I also grouped my photos in a specific way, which shows that I like to organize everything that I do.

I have included a picture of me with my two teachers at my last ever orchestra performance at Rocky Mountain Academy of
