I am an empowered woman on the pursuit to change the world. I attend Bell Multicultural High School as an 11th grader. I want to go to school at King's College where I want to major in bioethics and international human rights. I want to open a non-profit similar to The Young Women's Project, where I currently work as a peer advocate. I never want to let a lack of money or knowledge be the reason why someone is denied their pursuit of happiness. We live in a society where many individuals are not aware of their rights, or their potential. I work as a peer advocate because it allows me to inspire others in some way. I know that when we live in this world, it is our duty to bring knowledge and spread awareness to let our society grow and I plan on doing that. I know that in my community, we face many challenges with our health and some don’t have the medical access. If I start influencing my community to make profound changes now, I can help make drastic changes in the future at a global level. I come from a developing country called Ethiopia, which is prosperous, but the barriers of not having health access, like the US, prevents it from growing more. I am given the opportunity to obtain such knowledge and grow, but many young girls have not. I believe it is my duty to spread knowledge, so that others can continue this to grow as well.
