THE MORE I AM
EDUCATED, THE MORE I WILL BE ABLE TO SERVE OTHERS!
I seek
every opportunity that I can to learn, and grow so that I am able to pass my
knowledge on to our younger generations.
I hope and pray each day that the world will unite, and world peace will
be achieved. I am actively involved in
the community. I volunteer, mentor, and
involve myself in any and every opportunity that arises that will benefit all
of humanity, and our communities. I
believe that as one person reaches out to another, it is possible to set off a
chain of events, where people will help one another. I hope that as a person sees a person helping
another, it will encourage them to do the same, while embracing diversity,
rather than judging one another. As people
are subject to different types of people, hopefully they will take the time to
better understand the person and their situation. I am a passionate person, and I always stand
up for people who are mistreated, or going through difficulties in their
lives. I know that for us to create
world peace, every individual must first find an inner peace within themselves,
to accept who they are, where they came from, and traumas they may have
experienced, to be able to grow and live with a positive outlook toward the
future. I believe that with the help and
concern of others, just by showing them that someone cares and believes in
them, it will give people the hope and motivation they need for them to
overcome their self defeating thoughts and behaviors.
I love
the word “link”. I think that
everything in this world is linked. The
mind is linked to the body, and its behaviors.
The body is linked to nature and its surroundings, and to complete the
circle, our surroundings are linked to our thoughts. As one becomes linked to the spirit within
them, they are able to connect with the thoughts, and beliefs within them, and
through self actualization, they are able to recognize and acknowledge their
strengths, talents, or even their weaknesses.
The more a person is educated, the more they are able to understand
themselves, others, and the world around them.
As their minds expand, they not only accept but also begin to understand
reasoning behind their own thinking patterns, and others actions. Through this process, they are opening up to
diversity, thoughts/values/and morals different from their own, which they may
have once feared or rejected, but now inspires them to want to know more, which
results in them being able to relate to others whom they may have misunderstood
at one time. Once a person is linked
with their inner selves, they then link themselves to others and the world
around them. As these people link,
groups are formed, and if they are able to reach out and support one another, a
productive and supportive community shall arise. With communities now working together, these communities
can link together, as they create a state worthy of praise. As each group accepts one another, and works
together, our nation can create an environment that is beneficial for the
success of our future generations. Maybe
then, will our nations be inspired to join this force that is greater than one,
to link together, to stand together, as a world undivided, where all persons
are treated equal.
With
love and acceptance in our hearts, one by one, we can lift each other up, and
embrace uniqueness and individuality. No
matter our race, religion, beliefs, thoughts, morals, or values, if we all act
with kindness and love in our hearts for others, while trying to understand one
another rather than judge, the universe will conquer any obstacles in its path,
including diversity, poverty, hunger, and hate.
People, organizations, governments, states, and countries can link
together to form a bond where they realize that each group needs to work
together and support one another in order for our country to strive.
For a
person to be successful, they must be educated, but I also believe that real
world experience is an even greater teacher.
For one to truly understand others, they must live in the other persons
shoes. With every job, and every experience,
there is valuable knowledge to be gained.
This is the reason why I have never felt that any job was too big or
small, too much of a waste of time, too dirty or degrading, too belittling or
above me, or too insignificant because I am able to grow and better understand
all the types of people and situations around me. I enjoy having the opportunity to see things
through others eyes, or walk in their shoes because it no only gives me the
opportunity to better understand them, but also help me value the things and
people in my life.
With
each class that I attend at WVUP, I am able to better understand myself, people
in general, the youth that I counsel on a daily basis, and the environments in
which we live in. Through various
Psychological courses, and Sociological courses, I am able to learn what it
takes to help both people, and our communities.
I hope to attend The Washington Center, in Washington D.C., next year,
which specializes in the types of programs that I wish to get involved in such
as Non-profit sectors, Civic engagement,
Civil Service, Advocacy, and Leadership to help me further my knowledge
on the subjects so that I am able to make a real difference in this world.
