One thing that I feel represents my personality is the Nike swoosh. I know that it sounds kind of

vague because a lot of people wear Nike for fashion purposes or even too fit in a certain group

the “athletic” look on people. I also know some people look at Nike as just a brand and

exploiting kids in China, but personally I feel like it’s bigger than a logo. Most people sponsored

by Nike are professional athletes or music artist, but all people sponsored I believe are good

people and they seek to make the world a better place and that can sound vague as well but as a

professional athlete you can affect kids as well as adults. Most make movements with their

words or there play on the field, court or even in music. The Nike swoosh represents the Greek

goddess Athena the god of victory’s wings. In 1964 a college student was given a task of making

a logo for Nike and how cool is it that she came up with using the wings from the goddess of

victory Athena’s wings as a logo. I also like how Nike usually makes their campaigns about how

things around the world are bigger than the sport or whoever they are advertising. They took a

big stand on the black life’s matter movement even the LGBTQ community I love supporting

causes and Nike usually does what they can to make their appearance on how they feel and they

most of the time agree with the people. What I really think Nike symbolizes in me is their big

slogan ‘Just Do It”. Now that can take on many different things because life is always giving us

curve balls and dramatic problems that we face day to day. Even in things we don’t talk about as

a human being whatever we fear of doing. “Just do it’ to me is how I approach almost everything

I do overthink a lot and one way I like too deal with things is by having like in my wardrobe.

Whenever I face a challenge or something that makes me think about a situation I like too

remember what im representing something bigger then me bigger then us and too always DO IT

because it would be better off trying then not knowing!!!
