Personal Reflection on Quotation or Poem
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Unique; An interesting and compelling word that describes all of us, yet separates us as well. We all strive to grow and learn and enrich ourselves and create and contribute to the infinite beauty of the world we are born into, but as humans we are social creatures - We learn and interact and behave based off of preconceptions we are taught from a young age, and these views shape everything in how we see the universe around us. I grew up going to a Waldorf private school where we learned principles about nature and loving one another and the benefit of being good in a world where there is so much evil. We learned to be ourselves, and to find out who we really are. I am just now coming to a stage in my life where I am learning who I truly am and who I want to be, and it is liberating to know that we can be anything and anyone we choose; All we have to do is have the courage to act upon our dreams and visions.
