Two books have been inspirational pavers in how I see the world and how I want to improve it. These books are very different in the content that they portray but similar in their themes of perception. The first book that has developed me as a person is “The Great Gatsby.” A second book is “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Without these books the evolvement of my understandings would be weaker than they are now.

In the future I hope to continue my efforts in community service and I also hope to bring light to situations that are often overlooked, in my college major path of Global Media Studies. All of this is so very much important to me because I believe that having a broad perspective on how things are and helping to support the truth is important in shaping a healthy
