Haydyn

Haydyn's laptop speaks for itself. Many of the stickers were taken from packs purchased at craft store Michael's. Each sticker is given its own space to shine. Placement and spatial organization of these stickers would suggest an organized personality, something Haydyn can identify with. 

While there is an expression of herself on the surface, it is carefully done. Haydyn asserted that a reluctance to be judged by professors and peers played a role in her sticker selections. 

Some of her favorites that made the cut are "You are what you listen to," a sticker that offers inspiration and visual representation of her love for music. Another favorite was "embrace your own journey." For Haydyn, this sticker holds particular meaning. She felt it paralleled her own life path. As a girl who has always been younger than her peers and fast-tracked high school, Haydyn likes looking at that sticker because it reminds her to be proud of the uniqueness of her academic journey. Once again, the stickers that hold the most emotional weight tend to be the favorites of those who present them on their laptops.

As an aspiring teacher, Haydyn has no plans to change up her laptop anytime soon. And it should give her future students something to look forward to.
