    I once asked a close friend of mine, “How can a middle school student make a difference?” He simply answered, “ At our age, to make a difference we have to have a drive to make a change. You can’t just blindly run into world wanting to do something; you need a plan, determination, and confidence to know that you can make a difference.” I thought about what he said and realized he had a point. Kids my age are so concerned about the little things we never actually see the bigger picture; that there's something bigger than just dating, clothes and social media. We need to take the time to realize that we are so fortunate to have a roof over our head, a family that loves us, food on the table, and to be able to attend school.

People don’t understand that their lucky to get an education and to be so full their stomach hurts; all I’m saying is for us to make a difference they first have to make a difference in themselves. To realize that the life they are living isn't so bad at all. Every day that I walk into school, I motivate myself to greet anyone I meet with kindness, because they are fighting a battle I don't know anything about. It only takes one act of kindness to make a change, so let’s start small. If a person drops their books, don't walk past…

The most important part of the diversity statement to me is that they honor people of all kinds. They aren’t going to discriminate on…
