“Why does your life matter?” Huh. This question is one that pushes you to search deep within yourself and take a gander at your character. Personally, I believe that my life matters because I aspire to become a significant contributor to society. My parents have, ever since I’ve known them, always made enormous sacrifices to ensure that me, my siblings and in many cases, the less fortunate, were comfortable and possessed dire necessities . I have watched, for over 16 years, two selfless people give their last dollars to help others, who needed it more than themselves. I’ve watched my parents tirelessly work to educate and mold young minds and aid the children under their academic care (They’re both teachers) in ways normal educators wouldn’t. That is what I grew up seeing, that is what is normal for me and that is my plan for my future. I won’t be a teacher, but I will try my hardest to ensure that I show compassion, sympathy, empathy and love to everyone I meet, especially young children. I would love to have a community club or something of that nature, where I would bring together children of all different walks of life and impart on them, important wisdom they will need in order to succeed in life and mold a better society. My goal in life is to make a difference; to make society a little more habitable for some and to ensure that everyone and I mean EVERYONE is ensured that they are important, they are valued and they too can and should try to make a difference in society. I want to educate the public on the detrimental effects of discrimination and how we can create a world where everyone is considered equal and the playing fields are level for all, regardless of skin color, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identification or economic status.
