Book DescriptionRemembering his first sight of snow, one contributor to The Mirror of Our Selves writes, “My first morning in Canada was a snowy one and it was a whole new experience for me. I had never seen snow before and I think I acted like a little kid when I saw it for the first time. I touched it, smelled it, and ate it. It was awesome.” Such memorable life experiences make up the pages of The Mirror of Our Selves. From weekend fishing trips to struggling with the languagebarrier, from throwing the football on the beach to losing a best friend to cancer, and from learning to play an instrument to battling depression, the recollections of the sixteen contributors to The Mirror of Our Selves remind us that no matter how simple or complex our life events are, they all play a part in our creation of unique selves.
