When the world consists of the sand box in the backyard, the park down the road, the elementary school classroom, and maybe a couple local grocery stores, it’s easy to ignore the injustice in the world.

My expectations of my future struggles, as well as my ability to overcome that was something that I looked forward to. Accordingly, when I reached grade twelve, I felt that I was living my dream. I received grades my parents couldn't complain about; I was on sports teams; I spent…
