Heroic Archetype

Hi I'm Kendell Tallas. Photography, cheering and writing is what I love to do and its what I do best. My archetype is Hero as Lover and The Superheroic. Loving, Caring and "Go Green" describes me. I would love to make a difference in the world and accomplish all of my goals. So far my goals are to graduate in the top ten percent of my class 2012, go to college and get a masters degree in journalism and become a magazine editor. My heroic archetype will help my succeed each of these goals. Everyone has different hero types which go with their personality. Hero as lover is a pure love motivate hero to complete his quest. The love in my story is not necessarily a love for a guy, but the love for my family and friends. Love is the center of my universe which also makes me The Super heroic hero because this type of hero exaggerates the normal proportions of humanity; frequently has divine or supernatural origins. Being this hero takes love, kindness and the time to be patient. Photography takes patience which shows my heroic archetype.

My Quest of Life

Everyone is on a journey during their life. My quest is the journey in search of knowledge. You gain knowledge everyday. There is always something to learn. My quest is the journey in search of knowledge because I always make mistakes and you shouldn't regret your mistakes, you learn from them. Throughout my journey I plan on learning alot and gain more knowledge each day. I would like to become a magazine editor and learn how to become more successful at writing. My quest is to become a better person also. My journey is like a railroad track, it goes on and on but eventually you will reach your destiny. Life is a story and it has only begin for me. The pen keeps writing as each day goes on. Everyday has a new experience and my story won't end until the quest it over.

My Wonderful Mentor

Everyone has a mentor in their life. A mentor is someone who teaches the hero important lessons. In my life my mentor is my mom, Beverly Tallas. Everyday she goes through something that makes her stronger which teaches me how to be strong. She teaches me how to deal with life situations. No matter how much things hurt her, if it's your dream she will do anything for you. She lost a son to the army, a husband to work, a daughter to college and soon another daughter to inspire her dream. This shows me to be strong and help others achieve their goals. My mom inspires me everyday to become just like her and soon receive her knowledge of life. She just recently achieved her goal which was to start her own sewing business. This shows me to go for anything and no matter how long it takes for your dream to come true, one day it will. My mentor, doesn't always make me and my siblings happy but we know she does it for the best. I may not act like I'm grateful but I truly am for having her as not only a mentor but my fantastic mother.

Threshold Guardians

I happen to have two threshold guardians. The first is my sister Natalie. She has been through everything I will have to face on my journey. She has learned from break ups, college, getting engaged and many other things and she teaches me everything to do in each situation. She is a loving sister and never mean. She teaches me how to love and prepares me each day for the new world. She gives me great advice on what to expect from life and how to become mentally and physically ready for college. When I am in trouble or need her help she always says, "Life isn't always butterflies and sunshine, there will be times in your life where it will come to making the right decision or the wrong one and sometimes you will make the wrong one but never regret them just learn from them." She has taught me most of everything I know now, and has made me the person I am today. If she hadn't been such a loving sister I probably wouldn't be as loving as I am today. She has truly made a difference in my life. My other threshold guardian is my brother Austen. He has shown me both the good and bad things of what the world has to offer. He has shown me what not to to do in my life. He has faced many obstacles in his life but he has overcome them. He recently joined the army which proves to me he is strong, brave and full of love. If he wasn't one of my threshold guardians I would have made many mistakes. He is able to give me advice and I am able to learn from his mistakes.

The Shadow

In my journey my cell phone is my shadow. Now almost everyone has one and almost everyone has it attached to their hip bone. Cell phones are almost like a new part of the human body. My cell phone is my shadow because it holds me back from finishing my work. If it came down to talking on the phone or doing homework, talking on the phone would definitely win. Even though cell phones are the best thing that has ever been made, they are terrible. As one works, they also worry about who their next text or phone call will be from when really no one needs to worry about little things like that. In order for me to end my journey with victory, I must learn how to out down my cell phone and worry about what's in front of me to do and not talk to others about what happened two days ago or what I'm going to do that weekend. My cell phone will be hard to defeat but I soon will succeed.

My Trickster

My trickster happens to be one of my bestfriends, Chanie Work. We have know eachother for 3 years now and we have always been close. She always make me laugh when I am crying or she makes me laugh until I cry. Which I guess you could say is a good thing. Even though she likes to be rude to me, I know she still loves me. If I didn't have her in my life, my life would probably be less fun and funny. We are together practically everyday which means I laugh alot. Trickster or bestfriend I am glad she is in my life.

Naive and Inexperienced Characteristics

One of my Characteristics of the hero's journey is being naive and inexperienced. Even though I am in highschool, and I may think I know alot in reality I really don't. Things that happen at my age are really minor things and I soon will face bigger obstacles on my journey. One part of being a kid is being naive. I am naive in several different ways. I haven't learned all life has to offer me, but I know one day I will. I am also inexperienced at alot of things. The world has a lot to offer and until I have done everything I can possibly do whether it be sky diving, or even walking across rope, I will always be inexperienced. It's not always a bad thing to be inexperienced though, it just means I have something to look forward to doing later on during my journey.
