This work represents many hours of toil. Throughout it, rough free flowing thoughts were refined into proper ideas. Concepts developed over time and evolved after being presented with new research and ways of thinking. I learned how to think outside our normal 'box' of life that we usually go through the motions with. Challenging my traditional ways of thinking by looking at opposing viewpoints and learning their characteristics, discovering details that can help me become a better thinker and debater. Just like in photography, we can see things vastly differently by using different lenses, opening ourselves up with empathy, introspection, and learning how to keep an open mind. These traits will travel well in life, wherever we go.
