Letter to my daughter- from a teenage mother
Education is not a waste of time for a girl
SHE
When I was a kid I had many friends. Boys and girls. We lived in the same neighbourhood. There was nothing I loved more than playing outside with them. But unless there were other girls with us too, I could not go outside with only the boys. Back then I did not understand how wrong that was. People would say that it was some rule that protected my "reputation", whatever that meant. I really hoped someday something would change. To this day, I think the mistreat of women has not gone away, it has only changed shape. We sometimes fail to comprehend the incredible creation that is women. We are...
Women's Diversity
I'm in love with diversity. I'm in love with how diversity relate to humanity. I'm in love with how diversity was born from genuinity. I'm in love with how diversity create a unity. I'm in love with the dazzling diversity of all the women in this world Dark skin. Eighteen. Blue eyes. Cries. Thick eyebrow. On sorrow. Long haired. Frightened. Writer. Fighter.

Who are laughing. Who are pleasant. Who are...
The comfort of being uncomfortable
The world wants us to leave it better than we found it, it wants us to be the change, by speaking up and being the first domino. For a line of dominos to fall, one domino has to fall first, which leaves no choice for the others but to fall. For me, being a domino means doing the hardest things, especially when they are needed with the hope that others will follow soon. But let’s put the light on a very important topic, which is fear. Some will say “We are fearless!”, but none of them is unfraid of the consequences of their fall, and few of them are truly willing to be the next domino. Fear has...
Small actions matter! How to change the world one step at a time
Is it finally time to get rid of the SAT and ACT tests?
I assume that most of you guys already know about the entrance tests for college, the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing (ACT). Standardizing tests have ignited a national debate in the last few years, and many parents feel understandably concerned about their children being judged on the basic tests that don’t seem to correlate with actual learning or with successful college and career outcomes. As a senior in high school who has been experiencing high school enough to state this: I strongly believe that standardized tests are unnecessary for students and it...
True Terror
What is True terror? You may think that it is when a war is declared or a shooting etc. But I think true terror is when it involves yourself. If it doesn't Directly affect YOU then it cannot be described as terror. You may be scared but not in terror. Now terror does not have to be lethal or frightening. It can be as simple as your computer being taken away. And that’s what it was for me. That was the moment that I experienced true terror. We had just moved to Worthington two months ago, and all I did was play on my computer. My dad got fed up and started unplugging the cords powering the...
Equality in Education
Education is one of the basic needs that any human should possess, irrespective of race, gender, and economic background. Education today, all over the world has become an important scale to measure one's wisdom. Each and every organization considers a common examination or a clearing test as a qualification criterion. Having the exams in common, all the students who gained a high standard of education compete with the average and the bellow average category. It´s very unfair for an organisation to conduct such an unacceptable and biased examination. However, they do not have any other choice...
Yourself
Pink is pink, blue is blue. A monkey is a monkey, an elephant is an elephant. Don’t try to be someone else. You are the most beautiful and amazing person in the world! Don’t only look outside of you. Don’t listen to other people talking you. look inside of you. Don’t listen to others. You are you.
Volunteering while traveling: the 'voluntourist' dilemma
A combination of volunteering and tourism, voluntourism has become a popular form of travel over the past few years. At first glance, volunteering internationally may seem like the perfect opportunity to combine an eagerness to make a positive impact on the world with an exciting global adventure. However, there are many hidden effects associated with voluntourism that must be considered before going on such a trip. When I visited Hermosillo, Mexico, on a voluntourism trip, I was able to learn a great deal about both the positive and negative effects of global volunteering. What is...
The Distance Between Dreams And Reality is ACTION
Success comes from the little seeds we plant every day despite the challenges we face, and no idea will work unless we do the work. We have only one life and we shouldn’t waste it!! The road to success is through commitment, and commitment happens when we take a real ACTIONS. Taking massive action in our lives is the only way that we are going to achieve our goals, dreams, and desires. Wake up every day with the mantra “TAKE ACTION” and watch the results unfold in your life. Your life would be better if you took the action you’ve been avoiding for ages.

Outstanding People Have One Thing in Common: an Absolute Sense of Mission
Many people think about getting a leadership position, but they don’t think about the mission. It’s the mission that brings you the position. I have come to learn that if you are driven by a mission, everything will come with it including your dream position. So many times I have spoken about how I have tried a lot to be a member in any organization or initiative to gain more experience and knowledge and to find a good and suitable job, and I faced lots of difficulties to achieve this and to join any team or NGO. One day when I was coming back home with many copies of my CV, I asked myself...
Do What You Love and You Will Never Work a Day in Your Life
Where do you want to be in Life? This is a difficult question to deal with: life is full of options and paths, the world seems so large, with so many passions and lifestyles to choose from. Choosing a few avenues to fully explore is not an easy task especially if you’re not prepared ahead of time. Even if people grow up with a clear idea of what they want to be, when they reach that point, they start having doubts if that is what they really want and whether it is right for them, as the world doesn't always work out that way. What seemed so wonderful at the beginning may not be so wonderful at...

Building great people by changing their mindset about education
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world'' - Nelson Mandela Mr Nelson Mandela was right about education. It is important and we do nothing without it. Even the development of a country depends not only on natural resources but also on education. However, many people has a small mindset about it, though not everyone. I have met lots of people who said education isn't important. One day, I visited a friend's home and we talked about education. Then, her mom came up and suddenly said "Why should women go to school? If she does, in the end she will end up in the...

becoming love
I learned that human connection is one of our most valuable gifts as human beings. Love is the most beautiful and important feeling in the world. I've come to experience love in another country, I've loved strangers and strangers have loved me. I learned the real value of a smile and I confirmed that kindness is something we should never live without. I think I've never felt as loved as I do today. By God, by my friends back home, by my family, by my new friends of the bateyes and specially by my new rustic family. Let it be remembered that we have to let everyone see through our heart and we...
