Exploration 4

The one that affected me the most was Ling Young. The way she kept her positive outlook on life, and kept on looking at the world at half full instead of half empty was really touching to me. Even though she had suffered from getting severely burned she said that "it happened, but I'm alive" which touched me. The physical trauma that she endured and with all of those surgery's she kept moving on. Instead of just sitting around and complains she is up and enjoying life as best as she can because she says that "People have worse condition that i have, I am very, very lucky."

To me the effects of the time lapse was what really gave the documentary its strength. In the case of Ling Young showing her going through all those surgery's and how the burn marks affected her really showed us what she is going through. Having the ability to see all the challenges that these people go through is really amazing to see and how they overcome them.

What I took away from this these story is that although you meet many challenges and difficulties life moves on. You must overcome those difficulties or you will be trapped in the past and always remember that some people are in worse situation than you are. No matter what what life throws at you, you must make best with what you have and to turn lemons into lemonade.
