Who Did Che Want to Be?

Ernesto Guevara (the young Che) did not seem to want to have a huge impact on the world around him, other than he wanted to help people. He wanted to become a doctor and seemed to have a positive demeanor towards those who were underprivileged, but on his trip on La Poderosa, he seemed more focused on himself, which s understandable considering he was so young. I think back then, he wanted to make a difference in peoples' lives, but individually and in a small way. Later though, when Ernesto began to become Che, I think he started to realize that he wanted to help people on a much larger level. He still wanted what was best for each individual, but he wanted to do it on a larger level. He realized he had a knack for leadership, and could easily lead a revolution in order to help many. He knew he could have a larger impact on the world around him, and took every chance he could get to increase his influence and spread his ideas.
