In the movie Gladiator, the ending consists of Maximus dying at the hands of the corrupt emperor. The ending is amazing because Maximus was able to defeat the emperor that could have been the downfall of Rome in his final battle for his life. It is a bittersweet moment because Maximus is reunited with his family in the afterlife which was his ultimate wish after his family was murdered through the order of the emperor.
I feel that I am concluding one of the easiest chapters of my life. High school was easy, especially in comparison to the other schools in our nation. Trying to get into college, paying college fees, separating from my family, succeeding in the advanced classes I will begin to take, and facing the racism I know will be directed towards me will be very difficult. It is an ending to the easiest chapter of my life but I am ready to take it on because a new beginning is coming and I need to prepare myself for it. Wish me luck.
