Small Changes
Discipline
That's my father's favorite word
Education
That's my favorite word
I would say 'hard work', but that's two words
Perspective
Always dynamic
I've never truly understood that word
Promise: I made one to myself when I was 6
I made the promise to make a difference and to change the world
I saw the world differently then.
Now, at 17, I realize that promise is much harder than I thought it was
I have learned that I am, indeed, ignorant
No matter how much I learn, there will always be a world that I am unknown to
Knowledge is power
I have noticed the spark in childrens' eyes when they are introduced to new things
They never judge, only hungry for more
They see a world differently, a world full of wonder and love
When I was six, I thought our universe was magical
All children deserve to learn and to find a passion
The world can only change if it's children are capable of changing it
But to gain this power, a child needs an education
She must be taught how to grow a garden, for nature is what gives us beauty
He must be taught how to solve equations, for logic in real life situations
She must be taught how to speak their minds clearly, for understanding is the basis of helping those who live differently
He must be taught how to read books, for learning so one can thrive even further
She must be taught how to love, for greatness grows in those who love more than hate, who reach out to others, who learn to love the world, who learn to find inspiration, a reason to live.
I will fight for education
If one was educated in medicine, he can learn to find a cure for cancer
If one was educated in biology, she can sustain beauty in our mother earth
If one was educated in government, then he can learn to fight for what's right without war
If one was educated in english, then she can learn to articulate her words efficiently to share her wisdom with the world
I will fight for education
Knowledge is power and every student, if taught with love and open mindness, can change the world one problem at a time, and soon the world will change
The future belongs to the children
Every child in every country should taste the opportunities given to them with education
I fight to change how not every student receives an education.
If you're rich, your education is top notch
If you're poor, your education is not the best
If you live in a different country, you might not even receive an education
I will fight for education that is open to every child, everywhere
The world can only change, if the children have the power to change it.
