Honestly, i don't think i was ever really aware of myths and their impact on our day to day lives. For whatever reason it escaped me that these were truly important. By doing our section on myths and how and why they are created i learned so many things that i did not know before.

What i thought was best, was creating our own myths. I have written many short stories and things like that but a myth seemed like something all in its own realm. I approached the subject truly scared of what i was going to come out with. Once i got the ball rolling it really wasn't so bad. I like to put humor in things and that is exactly what i did with my myth. I feel that by doing so i would be able to appeal to a high school class and show them the value of myths.

Also, it is so interesting to see what kinds of myths everyone else comes up with. If there were the possibility to conduct a class in this manner of posting stories for the rest of class to see, i would definitely teach myths in just the same way. Since we were exposed to the actual importance of myths themselves when we read the class material it was easier to conduct my own. I believe that if my students were given this opportunity to learn first and then experiment with their own creativity, they would truly succeed.

Now, i look at myths and i see a whole new meaning to them, because it is fascinating how much of an impact they have in our lives now, regardless of how old they may be.
