Today, during our Genius Hour, my teacher assigned us to read the article "Is Genius Born or Can It Be Learned?" by John Cloud. In this article, John Green expresses the grand diversity that are geniuses. Such a word holds much debate on simply its definition and who it applies to. Even more so to the focus of a genius, how one is created. Narrowing down on how geniuses are made can be even more confusing that simply defining a genius. There are some who believe that it comes from one's environment that encourages hard work and self-motivation to learn about something in the world. Others claim it to be genetics gained from their parents and ancestors. Possibly, it could even be a combination of both. Simply put, a conglomeration of opinions on what geniuses even are and how one is created. From this however, I can say that I have a bit more insight on what a genius might be and how to strive to be one. Encouraging myself to continue doing more in school and life in general is a good start to becoming a genius. Whether one would define another as a genius or not, it should be in the eyes of the one's self if he or she considers them self a genius. As a person should be his or her motivation to keep pushing forward in life.
