"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light"- Aristotle Onassis
This is another of my favorite quotes that constructed my personality and my beliefs. What this quote is trying to say is that during our bad times, there is always a ray of hope that pulls us back up when we have fallen into darkness and I had interpreted this as a fight between good versus evil type thing. As a kid, I loved heroes and the things they did on tv especially their powers that they had. While growing up I went back to some of my favorites heroes shows and I realized that the hero always taught the viewers some of their morals and beliefs. As an example, I used to watch a show called YUGIOH which is about a card game that brings the visuals on the card to life and people would duel for fun, and it the main character was the best "duelist" in the whole world. At times he would fall into darkness and sometimes lose his way, but the bond that he has with his friends and by "believing in the heart of the cards" (believing in himself) he can overcome the darkness that tries to distract him from his path. At first, I didn't understand what he meant, but as I grew up I went back to watch it and I finally understood what he meant and soon after I applied it to my personality. This will always be one of my favorites and at times it makes me become more open-minded and a bit more knowledgeable towards not giving up. Since being part of the IB program I notice some of my classmates getting super stressed about certain subjects, but we come together and we fight off the darkness that tries to consume us whole. To me, I have become part a huge family where if one us gets down in the dumps the rest are there to pick them right back up. Being open-minded is a big part that plays in this program because there is always room for ideas that seem wrong to you, but it still could be proved right in the future. So now speaking about this quote made feel even more inspired to keep on moving forward when things get rough and that I have my friends when I get deeper in the abyss of darkness. Learning Outcomes:
