The essential question of the year goes been who do I want to become and what impact did i want to have on the world. Che Guevara had similar questions to answer in his youth. As noted in the book Motor Cycle Diaries I believe that Che wanted to become some sort heroic figure in which he would try and save the people who he had seen struggling in the Americas. This was first clear when Che traveled Chile and he witnessed the people who were suffering while working in the sulfur and copper mines. This was also evident when he traveled to the island where he helped lepers.
