What does it mean to be a 'self-actualized' human being?
Self actualized human being is the one who becomes famous by doing something good in life, such as helping the human race, rather than doing bad things, such as Hitler.
What is one unique thing you have discovered about your figure?
Anne Frank was very positive on the outside but let her feelings be shown in her diary. When her father had read her diary, he realized he barely knew his daughter, because she kept those feelings to herself. Anne Frank was the type of person who believed that showing her feelings to other people was going to help solve her problems in any sort of way. Anne hated blushing and letting people knowing how she felt, and the feelings she hid all the time in herself, she confided her troubles in her diary. Despite the fact that Anne Frank was a Jew and had less privileges than a normal young girl, she was forced to go into hiding, and stayed cooped up for four years without being able to enjoy fresh air, or experience the life of a teenage girl. Plenty of times in her diary she wrote how much she missed her friends and other members of the family as well as the outside world. Even though she was facing all these troubles, she didn't let herself be carried away by emotion, and shown what she felt.
Describe your figure's schooling and education?
Anne Frank started attending the Jewish Lyceum when Jews lost their rights. There she studied until she went to hiding. Anne was a good student who mostly got Bs and Ds, but her worst subject was Maths. Anne loved writing very much, and was really good at it two, we can see that in her diary. When Anne left the school to go to hiding, she carried all kind of books with her to study. It wasn't just for killing time, it was also because she enjoyed it. Being cooped up for four years in an annex, what else could Anne do but study, at that time when no TV or computers were available.
Here are some quotes I found interesting for the use of my essay:
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”
― Anne Frank
“Because paper has more patience than people. ”
― Anne Frank
“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”
― Anne Frank
In my opinion, your post is really good to read and extremely detailed about her, and her life. Great post!
