If Che were to answer the questions 'Who do I want to become?' and 'What impact do I want to have on the world around me?' he would have a lot to say. I think he wanted to become someone who made a difference and someone that many people would remember. I think it was very important to him to help others. Even though the way he did this changed throughout his life, for example first he wanted to become a doctor and it slowly progressed into leading an uprising. When he realized that simply being a doctor would not accomplish the huge goals he had in mind he had to take a more political approach. I think that Che wanted to become the person to bring social and economic equality to the world in an ideal fashion, yet he ended up having an overall negative impact on society due to some of his brutal actions while he was in Cuba.
Above I included a link to a timeline we made about Che's life and I think that is extremely helpful in showing how throughout the years his goals and actions drastically changed. Below I also included a video of how Che is viewed by most people today. It fails to explain and portray the years of his youth, I believe he always wanted to do what was best for everyone but his approach now comes off as negative to most.
