Dont Throw Away Your Shot Analysis

Decent Essays
I feel like I really need to Hamilton the most because he was determined to follow his dream. He went out of his way every time and said, “Don’t throw away your shot”. When I first heard that quote I felt amazed because that is true, sometimes we take a sometimes we take for granted our shot and we mess up. As listening to Hamilton you can tell that he made mistakes and I know I have to but just listening to him he learned that a new shot can come around and you should take it because you know you can make a difference if you just believe. The one thing I had admired about him was this other quote, “I may not live to see to see our glory, but I will gladly join the fight" what's to me I find relatable. I like to look ahead and think about the changes I can make I think the possibilities can be changed but I may not live to see them but I can look to see what I can accomplish during the fight of making it happen. The only thing that I questioned was “Don’t throw away your shot” have to be taken because maybe the next one is better not just for you but the ones around you which made me think to question myself.
