y Sponsored b COMMUNITY legal work is still being taken care of in order to create a 501C3. By the time I am a freshman in college it should be up and running. I would also like to open the minds of everyone who discriminates against the less fortunate. I strongly believe that if people had a better conception of the value of life, our society could come together to slowly resolve the issues regarding homelessness and poverty. The problem is, there are people that don’t view all humans as equals. I have the gift to empathize for people. By placing your own feet into the shoes of others, I believe people begin to see eye to eye. It is beyond important for everyone to constantly be aware that no life is should be valued less than another. It doesn’t matter if someone is upper, middle or lower class — or if they’re living on the streets with no income. www.readinspiredmag.org The point is we are all the same on the inside. We all start out the same, and we all end the same. The time that one human has on this earth is short. I see no point in valuing one life less than another. When I leave this world, I want to say that I left a positive mark. Negativity is spread by ignorance and denial by those who aren’t able to grasp the value of life. It is not hard to learn to appreciate everyone with whom you come in contact. I am only fifteen, and I hopefully have a long time left to change this community, and this world, for the better. I’m unbelievably passionate about helping the homeless. My goal is to spread my passion to others throughout my community, so we can come together to help the citizens who are suffering right under our noses.  Express Yourself 23
