What does it mean to be human???????


What does it mean to be human???????!!!!!
In life there is only one thing constant, change. Therefore, what it means to be human is one has to experience the pain in life in order to experience the joy. Life brings unexpected blessings and challenges that can be short term or long term. In order to surpass the pain, sadness, or hate and reach happiness, joy, or wisdom in life one needs to acknowledge his or her own weaknesses and apply his or her own strengths. One never knows what tomorrow may bring, whether it may be rejection or approval. One thing is for sure though, once one has reached rock bottom the only thing to do is to move up.
My panel explains all my realizations I had this year. From family and friend problems, unexpected deaths of teachers and friends, to my own personal growth I realize that life is nothing but a rollercoaster. The colors in my panel signify different things. The red signifies the pain one has to deal with, the blue is the sadness and low moments in life, and the yellow is the happiness and joy. These colors run in sequence becuase pain and sadness are more common in life but the happiness is occassional yet it is those moments that stand out the most. The two orange arrows signify the obstacles in life that may interfere with one's plans or happiness. The human faces have the expression of deep thought which is what our brain is constantly doing. Therefore, a combination of all these aspects defines the difference of being human, which is the feelings and conscience we have towards life.
