Comics

Lately, I've taken a liking to graphic novels, comics, things with pictures. One of my favorites is the series of the Green Lantern. It is about a society of green lanterns as they are called who are chosen to govern the universe with their rings. They act as the "policemen" of the universe. The most intriguing part about them is the rings that each of them have. The rings are powered by the will power of the bearer. These are sometimes described as the strongest devices in the universe. If fear is found in their hearts, it will not be as powerful as it could be. This reminds me of myself and everything I do. The outcome of everything I do - whether that is work, hobbies, or anything - is a product of the effort I pour into it.

Coming to college, I've realized that it doesn't matter how smart/stupid you are. What does matter is the amount of effort, and how much I actually care about something. This is what sets everyone apart. Sure, the background which you come from may set you apart from the get-go, but you can still catch up or fall behind. Not all hope is lost just because you've done something stupid. As one of my professors has said, "Tenacity is the most important part of becoming successful".
