Personal Revelation

Reema Uddin is an 18-year-old girl attending School of the future High School. She is taking a course provided by Andy Snyder called Revelations. Within the class we learned about revelations, what it is and where it can be found. We learned that a revelation is a mega- trope and consists of smaller tropes with a disciple, ignorant folks, an unacceptable situation and a prophet who reveals a message that causes life-changing views. A revelation can come in any form, and can be a minor or a major realization that occurs to a person. Although the revelation mega-trope consists of a prophet and disciple, in some situations a person come to their own revelations through personal experiences. Andy’s revelation course gave me a new outlook on life. Before taking this course I didn’t know there was a definite definition of what a revelation is, but I know I had revelations. Once I learned what a revelation is I began to analyze my life more closely and with every situation found a revelation if there was one. Whenever I would watch a film the revelation mega-trope became apparent to me. I would automatically be able to specify the contents of the revelation mega-trope. For example, when I went to see the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, there was an ending scene when some of the humans living in Narnia where given the option to go into the real world and lead new lives. This scene can be related to rebirth, where the people can reinvent their lives.
Another personal revelation I had is how important family is. Throughout my life I took my family for granted and didn’t really understand the importance of family. After my father’s death, I went through a phase where I always wanted to be alone and separated from everyone. I guess I felt that I didn’t want to get close to them so I wouldn’t miss them in they left my life. Recently I’ve begun to understand the role and impact family and close friends have on my life. I have begun to appreciate my family and my closest friends and am trying to enjoy my life and make the best of it. There are always dilemmas but that brings us closer together. Its not always easy to get along and tolerate each other since I have a total of 10 people living in my house, but when the time comes we are always there for each other. Sometimes family can be the problem, but other times they are the solution.
