All lives matter because we were brought onto this Earth to leave our own personal impact. With a population of nearly 8 billion people, if everyone dedicates a small amount of time, a enormous difference can be made for generations ahead. Truthfully, my life matters because my parents immigrated from Russia and Ukraine in hopes to give their children a better life than they had growing up. Due to this, my life is important because I want to give back to those who risked it all to provide me with an amazing upbringing. I have an amazing support system and people who love me and depend on me. There are things in life that are bigger than myself and that is why my life and our lives matter.
