Don't be left in the dark

Its unfortunate that most of us had to wait until we came to college to realize or learn true meaning of awareness, which goes further than just knowing or been aware of different culture, races, and religion. I have learned that awareness is pointless if no one uses or takes advantage of the knowledge they gained to help and educate others, which can be the most important or valuable thing that anyone can do. In this week reading England ends the chapter with following quote "But it will take all of us, those with stars and those without, to make it into reality" referring to improving and ensuring equal and quality of education for our children. I agree with her its necessary that teachers, students, parents, community, government and other professional to collaborate with one another in order to improve our education system. It is selfish and pitiful that we only care to inform ourselves or take action upon issues that directly affects us, instead of realizing that sooner or later we will be affected by them. In order to make difference, I will use, share the knowledge i have gain to make other aware that they can make a difference through getting informed, learning about and using the available resources and importance of taking action. Whether it is telling people about school choice, speak up against hazardous and unhealthy conditions in school, or simply helping the write letters to senator, mayor or other political/ community leader about their issues and concerns. Regardless whether you are or aren't affected by the issues, you should wait till reaches your home to do something about it.
