How I have learned from Monkey D. Luffy by Mireya - October 2025 Scholarship Essay

A fictional character whom I have learned a valuable lesson from is Monkey D. Luffy. From him I have learned the importance of always getting up no matter what obstacles come our way. While watching the show he inspired me to accomplish the goals I set for myself. Watching his drive, quite literally inspired me to become a better person. Watching his carefree actions, and his infectious belief of freedom made me realize something. Here is what I learned from him, you cannot change the way things went nor can you go to the past and change things. Rather, you can change how you will react to that drastic change. He taught me that no matter what happens to you; it’s you who can determine from that moment onward how your life will be. He also taught me the importance of friendships. Luffy himself went through something traumatic, he experienced loss and pain. That healing was not easy for him, however, in that tough time he remembered something, his friends. Although he lost a major part of him, he remembered them. He remembered the people that motivated him not to give up and continue reaching his goal. Watching that scene touched my heart. Since, personally there’s been times an obstacle is difficult to overcome. However, thanks to the guidance of friends and their encouragement, I was able to overcome it. I have learned the importance of setting goals, drive, developing life-long friendships, and living life to the fullest.
