Quote: ESSAY ON:WOMEN CHANGE THE WORLD History tells us that the women of the past were greatly discriminated against the girls were not allowed to go to schools even in the communities that taught boys to read and write, instead they were forced to stay at home and do all the household work and eventually grow up to be illiterate women. Today, most schools are open for both boys and girls and women have almost equal rights. In some places,(mostly the under-development countries) women are still expected to be nothing other than housewives and the girls are still struggling to go to schools. But whatever change that has happened, hasn’t just with the passing of time, instead it has happened as a result of the hard work of women across the globe. As the saying ”never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world“, generations of women came together to affect these changes in the most democratic ways. They worked very deliberately to make a better world and they have succeeded hugely. They had campaigns to fight discrimination, they raised the awareness of the public on women’s rights issues, they also went on processions when violations against women took place and as I said they have succeeded hugely, because it was only after this movement that women got their rights to vote and not only that but also got the right to be elected to the public. Jeanette Rankin was the first lady to be elected to the public. Three generations later women were still less than 3% of our congressional representatives .Today women hold up to 11% of seats in the congress and 21% of the state legislative seats. In the world of work, women have entered the trades and the businesses of all kind. Also, about a week ago, 3 women won the peace prize of the year 2011 for their hard work on women rights. This shows that women have not yet stopped fighting for their rights and they never will if it’s not given to them. Women and girls today are living the legacy that generations of women before us have given their best to achieve. These women have accomplished so much yet a lot still remains to be done. Alice Paul the organizer who first wrote out the equal rights amendment once said I always feel the movement is sort of a mosaic, each one of us adds one little stone to the grand mosaic and you get a great mosaic at the end. Women working together adding their small stones to the grand mosaic have increased our rights against all odds. Hence we have a lot to be proud of in this heroic legacy. So I’d like to advice every little girl of today to work hard and hopefully be one of the leading women of tomorrow. Thank you for your time and hope you enjoyed!

Quote: It seems almost impossible to come across a place so rural that one couldn’t even believe people used to live there? That was the impression I got when my father and I visited the village he was raised in as a child, Almanaseer, Sudan in northeast Africa. The moment we stepped foot there it was as if every living soul in the village disappeared into thin air. There was no movement or noise, nothing; all I heard was dead silence. I asked my father what happened to his home, and he told me that most people migrated to the cities. This was because the government began to neglect agriculture and almost all other fields in the economy, which, in effect, hurt the agriculture-based village and forced many of the farmers to move to the cities to find employment and a better life. Before our visit to the village, my father shared stories of his amazing childhood. He said that the whole place was blanketed with green; everywhere one looked one would see grass and trees of an electrifying green. The farms were bounteous, and even people that barely had money were living well because of the surplus of food. There was no problem with water because the village was located on a land similar to a peninsula. My father told me that everyone knew everyone, and, although many people were not related by blood, the village was a gigantic family. When I visited, I saw nothing but dry land and empty houses. After we left that day, I was disappointed about the village because it fell so short of my expectations. However, that day I was shocked again. My father told me that although his home was reduced to nothing but some empty houses and dry land, many doctors, engineers, teachers and college professors came out of the tiny village. The successful individuals that came out of the village lived through rough times back then; such as times when they had to study using a gas lamp during the night because electricity was not introduced to the area until 1986. Once I heard that, I contemplated on the obstacles some face. Even though one may not have the best life, they have the ability to succeed and move mountains if they have the desire to do so. Although I have not lived in this village nor have I personally experienced these hardships, I have come to respect the achievements of my parents and extended family and I’ve been inspired to succeed in attaining my educational goals and my entire life. This experience has always been one of the few influences that have pushed me to do the best I can in any endeavor. This memory of a simple visit has been the driving force that has inspired me to shoot for the stars.

Quote: Makkawi Makkawi An Epiphany from Lunch Money It was an ordinary Monday morning in Sudan, and as usual, I woke up late. As I rushed out of the house to my bus, I remembered I didn’t get my lunch money from my mom. I ran back home even faster, to find my mom waiting outside with the money in her hand. I snatched it and sprinted back towards the bus. I reached the bus stop right on time, got aboard the bus, and was on my way to school, and, not to my knowledge, a life changing experience. After I got off the bus, an old man in a dirty, ripped-up julbab with a shoe on one foot and a sandal on the other confronted me. The old man approached me and asked for money. At first, I thought I was getting scammed because, living in Denver practically my whole life, it was a new experience. I paused for a minute and thought to myself: should I give the lunch money that almost caused me to miss the bus or should I not? Somehow, my mind was able to overcome my grumbling stomach and forced my hand to reach into my pocket, grab the money, and hand it to him. At first I was thinking to myself, even though I know I did the right thing, was it worth being hungry for the whole day. After all, what carries a human being is not their legs but rather their stomach. While I doubted myself, I looked at the old man and saw an enormous gleam in his eyes, an unbelievable happiness, all over a small amount of money. After witnessing that, I did not doubt myself for acting correctly and I actually felt content that I was able to help one unfortunate individual. During lunchtime, instead of enjoying my time, I sat down by myself and thought about people like the old man. It is unfair that there are so many of these people wandering the streets both during the day and night with no place to go. It is unfair that these people and their kids have had to adapt to rough changes just because there is no one lending them a helping hand. Although I come from a family with many financial hardships myself, compared to the old man and others like him, I am very fortunate; something I would have never realized if not for this experience. I realized that Sudan’s corrupt government was not doing anything to help these individuals. So it is up to the next generation to fix these social issues that are not only plaguing third world countries like Sudan, but also prevalent in many first world countries. If I want to help these individuals, I have to help myself first by succeeding in school and maximizing my future. A goal without a plan is simply a wish, so in order to fulfill my plan I am committed to doing the best I can in school because as Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” By succeeding in my academics, I realize I will be one of the individuals able to give back to the world and help these people living in this cruel reality.
