my dream

-

By turning my individual situation of having cerebral palsy into a solution, I believe that I can create a path of advocacy for people who do not have a voice in society. I believe I can empower others to become confident within their own identity. Due to my physical disability, I have experience that provides me with a unique sense of empathy for those who are disabled.  Writing has enabled me to observe the world and its tendencies. I have learned that society tends to cast out individuals who exist outside of the small bubble known as the “normal”. From a young age, I learned that in order to reach my goals, I must employ different methods compared to others and put in more effort and dedication because it may take me longer to complete tasks due to my cerebral palsy. Just because some people have to adapt to work in different ways does not mean that they are not capable of accomplishing their goals in order to become successful members of society. As a counselor, I can create an environment where people are not afraid to talk about religion or social problems. I plan to open up discussions with my patients by letting them start a conversation by asking open-ended questions such as “Why do you think who are here today?” and “What makes you unique?” These conversations can help me break the ice and build a strong relationship with my patients. A part of therapy is that therapist’s work with patients to build up a relationship with the patient so they actually feel comfortable and you cannot do that by simply asking questions for an hour. As a therapist, I will teach my patients how to take advantage of their own abilities.  As a result, my clients will learn to accept their own differences and embrace their unique identities and talents because no one should ever be ashamed of who they are. No matter what life throws at you, people can always achieve their dreams and goals in life. I do not care what society says - we must cast away this false idea of what “normal” is.  People must abandon their desire to be normal in order for people to embrace their differences so we can learn to help each other.

The Syria humanitarian Criss

  Islamophobia Adds to he Syrian Refugee Crisis  Racism has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of the United States. Since the early colonial era, White Americans have generally enjoyed legally or socially-sanctioned privileges and rights that have been denied to members of various ethnic or minority groups. European Americans have enjoyed advantages in matters of citizenship, criminal procedure, education, immigration, land acquisition, and voting rights. Before 1865, most African Americans were enslaved; since the abolition of slavery, they have faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms. Native Americans have suffered genocide, forced removals, and massacres, and they continue to face discrimination. European Americans, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans, along with Pacific Islanders, have also been the victims of discrimination...

 your passion intact while improving clarity, structure, and impact: --- # **Stop the Genocide in Palestine** The world must wake up to the genocide happening in Palestine. Israel is not the victim in this conflict—the Palestinian people are suffering daily under occupation, oppression, and relentless attacks. Yet, the media distorts the truth, painting Palestinians as terrorists while portraying Israel as the oppressed. This pattern reflects a larger issue: the media's reluctance to show the suffering of non-white populations and its role in reinforcing racist stereotypes. The media rarely gives full coverage to the struggles of marginalized communities—whether Native Americans, Chinese, Italian immigrants, African Americans, people with disabilities, or women, especially Muslim women. Stories of oppression and resistance from these groups are often ignored, manipulated, or framed in ways that dehumanize them. This systemic bias allows injustices, like the current massacre in Pale...

 Educational Inequality for Refugees and Orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan: A Sociological Imagination Perspective  Introduction Education is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of any developed society. Yet, for millions of displaced children around the world—especially refugees and orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan—this right is consistently denied. These children face complex, intersecting barriers that prevent them from accessing quality education. Sociologist C. Wright Mills’ concept of the sociological imagination provides a critical framework for understanding how personal hardships—such as a child not attending school—are deeply connected to larger social forces like war, poverty, systemic racism, and political neglect. Thesis: Through the lens of the sociological imagination, we can better understand the educational inequalities faced by refugees and orphans in the Middle East and North Africa by examining how structural factors suc...
