Parents raise children; Teacher educate their students; politicians represent their communities; scientists create new technologies and innovations. All of these people share a common goal: a commitment to serve their role in the world. No matter the breadth of their efforts, they all are working towards changing the world, beginning with their communities.

Growing up in an Indian family, literacy has always been one of the most important things. The only education my dad ever received was a high school diploma. My mom, on the other hand, was fortunate enough to go to college. Being the oldest child in the family, my parents held high expectations of me. As a famous saying goes, “Always my mother, forever my friend.” My mom taught me almost everything I know. Ranging from how to tie my shoelaces, to how to ride a bike, to how to cook and clean, and…

Gwendolyn Brooks, a female black author. She had written many poems, but to everyone there is one that sticks out the most.“We Real Cool.” She wishes that wasn 't the only poem that she is well-known for but that will do for her. Her poem is very short yet it is good enough to set an image and makes someone think about what era this was at and how it can trigger something. It is based on of the young adults and what they do as an everyday life instead of what they should be doing to better…

Having a high school diploma does not mean for me to stop here. Why wouldn’t I want to further my education and become whatever I desire? A statement that’s been stated forever is, “College is not for everybody”, which is known to be true; however, it is highly important for me to attend college. My grandmother’s death inspired me because I took care of her at a young age and enjoyed every moment of it. Even though taking care of my grandmother inspired me but, my mother’s health issues has…

Growing up in my household, the motto was “contribution”. My mother would make my siblings and I help her with the cooking and the cleaning around the house. I use to be envious of my peers because they did nothing to help out in their household, but as I had begun to age, I realized it was a method to my mother’s madness. She taught me that everyone must work together to accomplish a goal no matter what the situation may be. I believe that is why I have always valued teamwork and enjoyed group…
