How does this piece of evidence show the chosen IB Learner Profile Characteristic?

​

Risk Taker: The topic that I chose was very weird. It was not something that there was any research on or any previous studies, which mean that I had to get my conclusions and my research on adjacent topics instead of the actual topic. It was very risky and more of all hard because of the fact I had to start from zero and I had to draw conclusions based on several academic essays and my own conclusions based on the research that I was doing. It was very very hard and sometimes it was frustrating cause there wasn't really an answer. 

​

Which challenges did I face when developing this particular evidence?

​

There weren't any resources for me to base myself on. No one had ever tried to compare a Greek Tragedy with Modern Media and there was no basis for mine. Therefore I had to look for theories that would back up my claims. I found the thirty-six dramatic situations theory which I based some of my essay on, and I also found the bases for a Greek Tragedy and tries to find the similarities with modern media. It was my personal analysis and information that I had to use. 

​

What did I learn about myself while completing this evidence?

​

That I am able to make my own thesis/dissertation like essay. I think that this showed that I can make new research which was very rewarding and amazing cause I felt like a true researcher and university student. I can't wait to get to university and actually research things related to my own field and make way in that field which I love so much.
