“To
This Day”
Here is a very inspiring
quote I got out of the recent video we watched in class called “To This Day” by
Canadian poet Shane Koyczan: “If you can’t see anything beautiful about
yourself, get a better mirror, look a little closer, stare a little longer” This
quote was one of many that he talked about in the video but this one really
stuck with me through it all and it glowed in my mind making me think of people
that I’ve seen myself at school or outside of school. I will always remember it
and try and think of it in future situations! This video touched my heart and
made me feel mixed emotions between sad, happy, angry, and
disappointed!
I connected to the part
in the video where the boy says “we grew up thinking no one will love us and
that the sun wasn’t a gift they made for us in their tool shed, because I to
wonder will I find that perfect person for myself? I also connect to the part
when the boy is the little caterpillar who turns into a butterfly and flies
away! I connect to that part because I feel I have found my inner self and now I
feel that I can do anything I set my mind to.
The message that I got
from watching this video was that you should always believe in yourself, and yes
there will be bullying but you shouldn’t let it bother you because you should
always believe in yourself to stand up to it and make a difference in our
world!
Finally in conclusion
this video was very inspiring to me and I’m sure touched many others hearts
around the globe. So I will leave you pondering with a question: If you were in
the boy or girls state or situation, what would you do?
