Avatar
I have always seen myself as a goofball, leader type. Thus, my attraction to Sokka, from “Avatar the Last Airbender,” begun. Sokka is a person trying to be a leader in an era where he is put at an obvious disadvantage; however, he overcomes it, despite not bending any elements. Despite his hardships, he grows to become a leader, who still tries to make people laugh at his dumb jokes. I used Sokka’s image as part of my avatar because I see a lot of myself in him.
Additionally, I added the New York Yankees hat because I grew up around baseball, especially the Yankees organization. Furthermore, I added the mask to show my current situation of coronavirus. Even though Sokka has a smile on his face, it is concealed by the required mask and necessary social distancing. I faced difficulties deciding how I wanted to depict myself to people, whether to show my goofier self or my more academic and formal self. I chose the former.
