Totem Pole Animal that represents past A badger represents my past because I am a brave person. I also have had a lot of problems dealing with other people, but I still take care of others. When I was younger I was bullied a lot, but I learned to stand up to those people and to protect myself and my friends.

Totem Pole Animal that represents my present A wolf represents who I am right now. The wolf represents family ties and I am really close with my family and friends. I was raised by my parents to remember we “could do anything, as long as we worked together as a family. ” Because of how my parents raise me , like with the symbolism of the wolf, I never give up on anything and I think it is important to see whatever I am working on through.

Totem Pole The cougar represents my future goals. I look at where I am right now, and I want to be able to change a lot about my future. I know that will take some “courage” on my part, but I want to begin to take full “responsibility” for myself and my actions. The cougar also represents foresight, and while sometimes I may not have much I know that I need to start looking forward if I am going to have the future I want for myself. Part of what the cougar also represents is loyalty. To me that means not losing myself along the way; being loyal to who I am and who I want to be, without letting other people change me into someone I do not want to be.
