Live life to the fullest

 understanding of the social work profession?

I am a 24 year old, who wants to change the status quo of society. I want to make the world a better place for future generations by becoming a therapist so I can help people with their problems. This is in order to enlighten them to discover the power of their own voice. Therefore, my clients will learn to develop self advocacy skills to make people comfortable with their identities so they are proud of their differences and are able to become powerful individuals who can overcome any obstacles. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, but despite my disability, I have managed to be a part of mainstream society and I have accomplished many goals in life. I am a hardworking, determined, attentive, responsible and versatile person. I believe in my abilities and I refuse to let my disability hinder me from achieving my goals and dreams in life. There are many people who have inspired me to discover my passion for helping others through social work, including my mother and father.

All my life I’ve been told who I should be,

what I should wear or what I should look like.

I tried to do what I was told, but it just didn’t take.

I was never happy fitting into their labels and boxes, so I stopped trying.

I realized that I’m unique, and I want more than to do what everyone else is doing.

I can’t and don’t do anything small or halfway.

I’m not afraid to put myself out there and take risks.

Sure, I’ve been hurt more than my fair share, but I don’t stop trying to love and be loved.

It’s a risk I’m willing to take, because the reward - love - is worth the price ... any price.

I know many would never agree with that, but it’s my choice, and I’ll take the chance without hesitation.

I’ve spent many sleepiness nights crying myself to sleep or tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep because my mind wouldn’t stop..

But that’s just part of it, and I accept that.

I refuse to stop living and stop loving because I’ve had my heart broken.

I learned from my mistakes and I built higher walls around my heart, but I still give too much of myself..that’s just who I am.

I live every day to the fullest, and I love with all my heart ...

And I don’t plan on changing.

It’s who I am- I can’t love anything or anyone halfway.

So, if you think you’re going to come into my life with some lackluster passion or part time friendship, think again..

I expect what I give and I give it all.

I’m always there for my people and I always will be.

I wear my heart on my sleeve and I speak my mind..that’s just who I am.

When it comes to romance, I don’t need grandiose promises or fancy dreams.

I yearn for real, authentic and genuine love- deep feeling, soul touching, heart stimulating and visceral emotional connection.

Anything less isn’t enough for me.

I’m sure the world will shake its head in disapproval at the way I live and love, and they’re welcome to pass judgment on me.

It doesn’t mean I’ll care or listen.

They don’t know where I’ve been and don’t know my reasons, so they don’t have the right to think they know me..because they don’t.

So, I’m going to keep charging hard into every day with everything I have, no matter how hard the challenges may be.

I was born to become more and that’s just what I’m doing.

Big heart, big hopes, big dreams..

And it all starts with me.

I’ll keep taking the chances for amazing love and wonderful friendships, because just like I always do,

I’m going to keep loving hard and living with all my heart.

It’s now or never,

So I’m choosing now. I am not waiting for my life to happen

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...

Free Palestine

 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...

Syrian refugees and the rest of the world

 Sarah Elgohary                                                                           We need to help refugee I remembered that paper Most people do not know how serious the Syrian refugee crisis is. This is because Western societies only react and pay attention to a problem when celebrities make a statement about an issue, rather than their government. This is especially the case with Syrian refugees because many politicians especially Republicans are using fear and Islamophobia to create biased policies in order to ban the entire Muslim race and stop accepting Syrian refugees, even if a majority of them are innocent people who are in need of projection not violent meaningless killing of other Innocent people. This xenophobic action is simply based on the stereotype that all Muslims are rad...
