I have an essay I'm doing and I've run out of time to fix things in it and make it more professional. Could you just tell me what you think? How I could make it better? .....It's alright if you can't, but also I'd like to have a quick (10 mins?) chat with you soon just to get you caught up on a few things



Totem animals are a very important element of First Nations culture. For centuries, First Nations people have believed that all of life is a circle, and animals are a very important part of this circle. All animals are unique and different, and First Nations people celebrate these differences by carving beautiful, abstract animal shapes into tree trunks. These are called totem poles. Your totem animal  is a culturally important animal with many characteristics that you relate to.

I believe that my totem animal is a horse. The characteristics of the horse that I relate to the most are: craving freedom, wanting to go far in life/having a lot of drive and passion, having a lot of energy, and being protective of family and friends. A lot of these seem to apply to me.

I’m very, very protective of the people I care about. Sometimes a little bit too much, because when I don’t want them to feel upset I hide my feelings…But I’m working on that. I really want the people I care about to feel special and loved, just like a horse.

When I’m around people I Iike, I get tons of energy. I really like to run around outside, especially when it’s very windy, like a horse. I think that I’m good at focusing all this energy into my work to make it better, too.

Working as hard as I can is something I’ve always been taught to do. I know that to go far in life, you have to work hard and dedicate yourself to something you’re passionate about. The horse totem represents having drive and taking advantage of opportunities.

And lastly: freedom. Freedom is one of the most important things in life to me. Without freedom, you just feel stuck in a rut, completely unable to follow your dreams. When I imagine a wild horse, I think of how much freedom they have, running free for miles, wherever they like. I want to be free, like the horse.
