reason why I found this speech inspirational to me due to how reassuring it is for students (even outside of middle school) that are transitioning from one destination to another. In my case, I will be transitioning from high school to post-secondary education. The first part of the speech that felt influential is when William told his audience not to be fearful of stepping out of your comfort zone. To elaborate, I found these words motivating for students since this is what I did during my…

The greatest unexploited resource on our planet lies in the minds of students like you or me who happened to, through no fault, no choice of their own to be born in a country too poor, too dangerous, too unstable to receive the education they are fundamentally entitled to and so fully deserve. The next revolutionary technological innovation may lie trapped in the mind of a young man forced to fight adult’s wars, a Kalashnikov rather than a novel in his hand. The next life-saving…

popularity of cocaine and the illegal drug trade have both left the uninformed public with the opinion that the citizens of Colombia are all drug fanatics and/or murderers. While strong, united family values exist and there is a solid drive for education shaping the workforce, Colombian culture has remained a relative mystery to the people too nervous to experience Colombia on their own.

The incident that impacted my education happened when a teacher beat my buttocks with a stick and tore my flesh at the public school my other sisters attended. I…

Introduction Did you know that every year in the United States, nearly 60% of first-year college students discover that, despite being fully eligible to attend college, they are not ready for post secondary studies (source). The problem is that people in my school are unaware or don 't know enough about going into college; to solve this we must provide more information from counselors about college. Getting colleges and high schools involved with each other is the missing piece to this problem.…
