Assignment: Begin by reading the essay "Now I Become Myself," by Parker Palmer. Take notes as to what you think are the most important points he makes, the overall argument she is developing, and any questions you have about this argument -- ways that you agree, but also ways that you might disagree or challenge her ideas. As you read, also think about how these ideas apply -- or might not apply in important ways -- to your own story, your own sense of self, and your own sense of your work, career, and vocation.

Then, in 3-4 pages of double-spaced writing, please do the following:

1. Summarize the article. Think, perhaps, about what the article title means and how Palmer goes about making his points about vocation, identity, and a lifestory(?)

2. Comment on the article. Think about questions like, do you think Palmer is right? Whyor why not? Do you think her points all make sense, or are there aspects that you might question orchallenge?

3. Apply the article to your own experiences. In what ways do you think you can apply these ideas to your own goals, career or otherwise? In what ways do you think that Palmer's ideas of vocation and identity help you think about your future work andthe reasons you have for doingit?

Make sure your document is logically organized, and is addressed to an appropriate audience. Make sure that when you refer to Palmer's text you make proper attribution. Don't forget to proofread! If you need help as you write, refer to Pocket Keys and the assignments for this week.
