if I were to compare my life to the little Prince, I would be the little Prince, and my family, loved ones,
and my friends would be the fox and the rose. I would be the little prince because I decide and see
things not just using my brain but also my heart and that is why I look up to the little prince especially in
his quotation " the most beautiful things in the world cannon be seen or touched, they are felt with the
heart ". on the other side, my family, loved ones, and my friends are like a fox because we all have
differences but if I tame them or gave love to them, we always have each other, and they are also like
flowers because they are the important people in my life that's why I value the time we spent on my
rose or my loved ones that makes them so important. In addition, the Little Prince is smart but also has
its limitation but is curious to know things better. The little prince always finds a way to solve his
curiosity. Aside from being curious and always finding an answer, Little Prince is like me because he is
very friendly and most of the time, he is happy even if the situation is complicated, in myself I also take
it seriously. Along with that process, I just choose to be happy and follow what I think is right because, in
the end, I will be the one who will be affected by my decisions.
