What is it that makes us, us?

By Sussan Diaz, 12th Grade

Throughout my 18 years of life, I’ve asked myself, “What situation do you think has caused you to experience the most personal growth?” a few times. I’ve answered the question in different stages of my life and the answer is always different. I personally think it’s because we’re constantly experiencing. Life is always having us face different problems, and although those problems may seem like the worst things in the world, they’re ironically gifting us with something beautiful, experience. Every experience that we have to our name, changes who we are, how we think, how we react to certain things, and is what makes us, us.
