The students and I experienced shocking revelations as they researched their selected celebrities. As an Instructor, I saw students were excited about learning that each celebrity they chose had a story which inspired drive to reach their glory. Students had taken it at face value that these people's lives were always perfect. Secondly, I think this curriculum project gave students' much needed advice. Advice impacts differently when it comes from someone you idolize. [It] gave these freshmen ideas of how to handle college and how to navigate issues in their lives...Most importantly, this project allowed students to exhale; they now know whatever their struggles, they are not alone.

When I was introduced to the "Reconstructing Lives" Project, I was delighted to have a new way to assess my students' comprehension of [teaching] theories...Teacher candidates thought the theories were boring; however, they eventually found that connecting theories to their icons-and later to themselves-was meaningful. The majority of my students felt the redemption that it brought them...They didn't write it all in their papers; rather they came to my office and explained what the project meant to them personally...What surprised me most in 10+ years of using the Project was the fact that it was not only a measure of student learning but also a measure of how much I could teach them about theory, about my life and about their own life success.
