MEM. Survival Guide Cover. 2022 |
This is the last Humanities AP of our SENIOR YEAR!! For this unit, we dove further into people's journeys and what they have endured. We learned how people can be manipulated through situations and how their journeys can be man-created. We watched a film about child recruited soldiers for both the government and the 'rebels' in Africa, where they were abused, taken advantage of, and forced into giving up their lives. We also heard Malala's inspiring story and how she survived terrorists. In one of her famous speeches to the UN, she gallantly stated that the day they shot her and she survived, "Weakness, fear, and hopelessness died, and strength, power, and courage were born". After learning about their and others' survival of hardships, we were then supposed to write our own 'survival' guide, for this project. My biggest goal is to become a Vet and to have a career working with animals, post-high-school, so I decided to write about that. Below, you will see my guide, and I hope that it might even inspire someone else to follow the same path. Enjoy!
