Exploration 4.

     Every individual had a touching story that I felt as we watched there lives change during the course of eight years. Tough decision, but Nicholas Chirls story about his mother hit me the hardest. Mostly because during my childhood, there was never a father figure role model until I became a teenager, so my mother was the one raising me. Just thinking about losing her makes me want to lose it. How much he wanted to make his mom proud and follow her footsteps made me think of myself.

     Through the eight years, Nicholas was at first angry with everything, wanted to punch people and lost connection with his dad. Picked up a job in the same business as his mother to try to relive what she did everyday for him. graduated college in B.A. for Economics. As the years went by he realized he had to be himself, let go of the anger, mature to build a bond back with his father. "You come to terms when you left go of the anger," Nicholas said. Power statement because it should that eventually he was able to over come such a struggle and move up. His maturity of giving up the anger helped him build a relationship back with his father and helped him become happy again. I respect Nicholas for being able to let go of the anger because there's no way I would be strong enough for that.
   
     I believe it was a strength because it showed how at first couldn't cope with this tragedy and showed how they came to terms, adapted to new life, and how they still continued with life. This video showed how to just appreciate every little thing in life. Even if your having a bad day, week, or month someone has it way worse there. Were lucky for everything we own in life that we typically just look over like its no big deal.
