My background and exposure to two vastly different communities inspired my social program. During my first semester here at The Ohio State University, I have learned how vital it is to be educated on other cultures and those different from ourselves. I have learned that being exposed to these different ways of living has allowed me to become a more understanding, compassionate individual. Education and understanding are essential in dealing with social inequality. University helps to create well-rounded, understanding individuals through education. Due to the fact that not every individual attends university, I would implement a mandated program each and every student had to complete in order to receive his or her high school diploma. If a school had a below normal graduation rate, then it would be implemented in middle school in that area. This program would create a space where students from all walks of life come together to share their stories. There would be adult guest speakers who share their stories as well. Lastly, the program would also call for basic exposure to various different cultures. In order to pass the program, the student must write a paper reflecting on what he or she has
