Layla's Simple Good Statement:
My ‘simple good’ is finding light through trials and tribulations because I
believe it is crucial that we take time to focus on our wellbeing while taking on
and internalizing the world around us. My ‘simple good’ was inspired by my
grandmother. My grandmother has always taught me to see light or see the
bigger picture in every situation I encounter even if it is small. This has taught me
to appreciate the little things, good things, and even the bad things because life is
too short to not take advantage of all the good things that are going on in a world
full of chaos.
I depicted my ‘simple good’ in my photo by showing the Nederlander Theater
located in Downtown Chicago and the sunlight beaming behind the sign to show
light popping out through the dark shadows in the picture. I went to see MJ The
Musical and that was something that brought me joy throughout all the negative
things going on in the world.
I plan on using my meaning of the ‘simple good’ to improve my community and change the world by showing and educating people on the importance of looking at the positive even when you are surrounded by negative because it will not stay that way forever. This is important to me because I had to learn to take care of myself and know when I need a break. I’m still learning that I don’t always have to do something. I should be aware and know when I’m burnt out. This will help me not only mentally, but physically, and emotionally.
