Within my nineteen years in this world, I can see the growth that I have achieved every day as I reflect on my life thus far. I realize that life is not just about knowing myself, but it is also about getting to know the world, the people around me, and to make a change in their lives. What does it mean to make a change nowadays? Many people believe that making a change in this world is something huge done by someone with high position, such as the President of the country with the authority to lead our nation or even a musician who's lyrics in their songs tell stories other people can relate to and give them hope.

It has influenced me immensely and contributed to my development as a person and a student through different sessions of building leadership skills, getting to know people, volunteering in local communities, and sponsoring workshops to help with not just high school life but also our personal lives. I am grateful that I had the chance to be chosen to represent the organization, whether it’s in front of their campaign commercials or as a member of their LEAD Board which helps new scholars transfer into high school.

I have also been granted the opportunity to be involved with several outreach programs with my districts grade school.

This experience has taught me the importance of maintaining an open, adaptable, and respectful mind when navigating theological diversity, allowing me to contribute significantly to interfaith dialogue.

In order to enact powerful change on the world, one must be a leader. They must be able to gain support for their cause and organize the people who want to help.

For instance, Eric and Christopher had both grown up in homeless shelters with their family and younger sisters who needed them to go out in the streets to panhandle for enough money for food. Because the place where the boys were living were full of drugs, and what they sense and see was affecting them to become most embittered and distrustful of adults (“Jonathan Kozol”2012).
