My
McCandless Project
I
chose to wear a dress one day to school as my project. This was different from
my norm because I never wear dresses or skirts unless I have to. When my mom saw me she said that I looked
nice but then she asked me why I dressed up. Until I left for school she kept
on commenting about my outfit. Saying things along the line of “I love that
dress on you” and “you look so cute today”. When I got to school the firs thing
my one friend asked me when I saw her was why. I responded with I just felt
like looking nicer to day and the look on her face was indescribable. When I
saw my other friend she said “ Natalie, wearing a dress? What is this?” Thought out the day I kept on getting complements
but there where some people who right from when they saw me all they said was
“McCandless project” and I would have to try to convince them that it wasn’t.
When I started out the day I felt fine. I was thinking that wearing a dress
isn’t to bad but as the day went on I was getting more and more annoyed and
uncomfortable. It was annoying always having to watch how I seat or be careful
of what I do. I was surprised it wasn’t as awful as I thought it would be. It
was annoying but in the big picture I didn’t completely hate it like I thought
I would. The complements were nice too. I actually do feel like I am free not
to conform. After this project I realized that change can be good and nice. I
probably still not wear dresses a lot but now I know that I could if I wanted
to and I wouldn’t completely dread it.
