Athene Owl
- Athene Owl
Owls hunt for their food and are self-sufficient. They are elegant, messy, fun, and serious. They’re sometimes scrappy, but naturally prepared. They are expressive, have beautiful geometry, and take care of their children/family. Owls can see well at night, have sharp senses, sharp claws (talons) and beak, amazing reflexes, and a keen sense of their environment. In mythology, Glaucus, the owl of Athena, represents wisdom, loyalty, and fraternity. Among the many species of owls, I chose the “Little Owl” AKA Spotted Owl, beacuse of its latin name “athene noctua” and something I read in the comic book “The Watchmen”.
Though I’m not nocturnal, my best work is usually the result of a late night.
I enjoy nature and exploration and being independent. In high school, I excelled in sports, math, and building architectural models. I also enjoyed camping with my brother and his friends, fishing, archery, and trail riding. I also enjoy creatively illustrated math models, reading, finance and current events.
My first few weeks have been overwhelmingly busy. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. Then I realize that I’m actually doing pretty well and enjoy being busy rather than not.
