Student Simple Good Statement
My ‘simple good’ is to find the beauty in everything because it allows us to appreciate the little things. My ‘simple good’ was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend about the importance of keeping a positive mindset and finding beauty in all situations. I depicted my ‘simple good’ in my art by making the picture focus on the beauty in the photo. I wanted the picture to seem a little more dramatic and make the flowers pop more as that’s the beauty that came out of the photo for me. I plan on using my meaning of the ‘simple good’ to improve my community and change the world by teaching and showing others to always find the beauty in things even in a world of negativity. This is important to me because nowadays there is so much negativity and a lot of the time we try to sit and dwell on things we can’t change. Instead we can find the good or beauty of a situation even when it doesn’t work in our favor.

Layla's Simple Good Statement:
My ‘simple good’ is finding light through trials and tribulations because I believe it is crucial that we take time to focus on our wellbeing while taking on and internalizing the world around us. My ‘simple good’ was inspired by my grandmother. My grandmother has always taught me to see light or see the bigger picture in every situation I encounter even if it is small. This has taught me to appreciate the little things, good things, and even the bad things because life is too short to not take advantage of all the good things that are going on in a world full of chaos.
I depicted my ‘simple good’ in my photo by showing the Nederlander Theater located in Downtown Chicago and the sunlight beaming behind the sign to show light popping out through the dark shadows in the picture. I went to see MJ The Musical and that was something that brought me joy throughout all the negative things going on in the world.
I plan on using my meaning of the ‘simple good’ to improve my community and change the world by showing and educating people on the importance of looking at the positive even when you are surrounded by negative because it will not stay that way forever. This is important to me because I had to learn to take care of myself and know when I need a break. I’m still learning that I don’t always have to do something. I should be aware and know when I’m burnt out. This will help me not only mentally, but physically, and emotionally.

Student Simple Good Statement:
My ‘simple good’ is my global change because there have been many people that have changed the world in big ways. My ‘simple good’ was inspired by people that bring change to the world, like our past Presidents. I showed my ‘simple good’ in my artwork by taking a picture of a poster that I found interesting that showed all of the presidents in United States history. I plan on using the meaning of the ‘simple good’ to improve my community and change the world by telling people that they should learn about our past and history. This is important to me because I hope to make people understand that in learning about your past you are also learning about present times.
