Whether it be a fact or a life lesson, I want to achieve wisdom as much as I can. All my life I’ve been told that knowledge is power, and I want to be able to use my knowledge to achieve success. I also want to travel the world and learn as much as I can so I can share and spread my wisdom to those around me. I especially want to learn about any kind of art. Growing up surrounded by artists, I learned quite a bit from them and my respect for art is great. In 9th grade I took visual arts for a year to learn more about different styles and where they came from. When I have the time I enjoy going to art galleries and being inspired by the pieces on display. Drawing in my free time is something I do quite often, I used to paint a great deal growing up. In 6th grade I won 1st place in the CNUSD PTA Reflections for a painting I had painted, also 3rd place in 5th grade. …show more content…

The first book I can remember falling in love with was Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Women', it compelled me with its ties of sisterhood, and how utterly different their lives were in comparison to my own. As I continue to grow and my ability to read texts analytically has improved I can appreciate other aspects in the novel, such as the growing feminist theme of strong women. I had previously assumed that the patriarchy confined and oppressed women, Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' has challenged my perceptions on 19th century women. Throughout my life literature and reading have been of the utmost importance, and academically this quickly translated into my love for English.

In America, educating children is part of the fabric of our society, whether we live in rural or urban areas. It is so natural to us that every child should attend school, so we forget that in other parts of the world access to education is an uphill battle. When I think about education, I mostly see it as a powerful tool to secure a prosperous future for myself and future generations. Surely, I have access to a sophisticated education system here in America, but that is not the case for many children in other developing countries.
