The transition from high school to university is definitely
as phase in my life that I will never forget. I will take many things along
with me that I have learned, whether these are mistakes I have learned from or
goals I have accomplished through my life. Regardless, they will be things that
have changed my life, so I have decided the next step I can do is give back to
change the world. The million-dollar question is how! Well, I definitely have
half that question answered. Essentially I can start off by altering my lifestyle to fit
the needs that are more compromising to the rest of the world. After all, I was
born onto this planet, not the other way around. Another way I can affect
change in the world is through what we have been given the opportunity to do
here in Canada, voice our opinion. Owning up to my own morals and beliefs will
not only change me but will change the world around me as well. The youth have
become a very influential part in our society today, and I believe as long as
we keep voicing our opinion, we will continue to have this affect. As for the
other half of this answer, there are some parts of this change that I will have
to wait and see what happens. Our world is constantly changing good and bad, so
in order for me to make a positive change I will have to wait for what is
thrown at me. As long as we are educated well, we will be able to improvise our
knowledge to seek the best solution.
I think you have all the right pieces to affect change in our world. You're so right that our world's youth are becoming more and more influential. Especially, with new mediums of communication such as Facebook where kids can voice their ideas and opinions internationally. Well done Erin!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I noticed over the year was that you were extremely committed to what you believed in but were able to take in and understand other people's perspectives as they came at you. You are absolutely right that the problems we face today will not necessarily be the problems that we will be dealing with when our generation becomes leaders in various fields. To touch on Sam's point of new ways of communication and affecting change, we have seen an influx in the use of petition sites in order to fight bills such as SOPA. Great post :D
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you said "I was born onto this planet, not the other way around". It's so true! this earth does not owe us everything it has, because it only has so much. We were put here to preserve it! hopefully you are able to cary out these ideals in the next stage of your life:)!
