collage ideas

My English 102 class teacher, the lovely Ms Williams, wants us to create a collage that will coincide with a written paper aimed at trying to capture our identity..i think. I dont know what images im gonna use for my collage but i do know what i want it to be like. It needs to show my outer courage but inner terror. I practically became an adult overnight, starting work and college almost at the same time. im expected to not show weakness and trudge forward as everyone does but on the inside i feel as though im a little child caught in a crowd, not knowing what to do, where to go or how im gonna handle all of my new found responsiblities. I want my collage to reflect this.
