Today in class we were asked multiple questions, they were pretty deep. The questions were based on fear. I loved today's conversation because I got to learn more about my peers. I also opened up about things that I fear and am uncomfortable talking about, such as depression. A lot of times, people see depression as a joke or just someone being over dramatic. In actuality, it is real. It effects everyone differently. I do not talk about to anyone much about it because of how they may perceive me or the situation I am going through. I just want everyone that is going through something to know they are not alone, other people are hurting too. It's okay to hurt, the best thing to do is strive for that light at the end of the tunnel, even if it seems to not be there.
Today is 9/11. I expect that in every class we would watch as video and learn things that the majority if teachers talk about each year on this day. Today, though we actually analyzed what it meant to be American. What a hero and patriot is and who each others personal America heros are. This made me think about who I want to be personally in the future, what kind if hero/role model I want to be.
The value of exploring the unknown is the learning experiences. When exploring the unknown one experiences heartbreaks. In Anne Morrow Lindbergh 's quote she speaks on choosing the disappointments the come from the unknown. When experiencing heartbreak, one learns to cope with when gaining and losing an individual in life. Also they learn how to take their loss and use it at motivation to put towards things they aspire to achieve such as a project they want start or working on getting their dream job. Another experience that comes from the unknown is reaching one's goals. When an individual reaches a goal, whether long term or short term, they learn to be humble, yet proud of their determination. Doing this can also strengthen one's ability to never doubt themselves when it come to intense obstacles. All in all whether good or bad the unknown is in people's lives to better themselves as an individual through learning experiences.
