Supersmantle Injustices

"You Don’t Know What You Have Until It’s Gone" a common proverb used to express how people often take for granted the very things that deserve our gratitude the most. I, for one, can relate to that. I grew up in Bangladesh with a huge family, nurtured with love and care. Admittedly, I was spoiled in my childhood especially by my grandparents; I was given almost anything I asked for. However, that changed significantly when my parents and I moved to the United States. All of a sudden, there was no big house where I can run around in and there was no one but my dad to fulfill my desires. My dad did fulfill most of my desires until I became comfortable with my new environment. He taught me how valuable something as abundant as water is. He taught
me, not everyone in this world is as privileged as me to have a roof over my head, food on my plate, a closet full of clothing, and an education. Frankly, I could not comprehend what he was trying to teach me until I entered my teenage years. I never appreciated the amenities I had back home, nor did I express my gratitudes for everything my family has done. Migrating to the United States, and experiencing some of the difficulties I never faced, and witnessing my parents striving through economic adversities to provide me with much as possible, has opened my eyes to a new perspective; the perspective of the hardship many people face. Furthermore, the plethora of problems and the perpetual injustice in third world countries has made me aware of the callous world we live in. These injustices are not only present in those countries, but also in the United States where racial discrimination, islamophobia, and the subtle segregation are evident in cities.
As I mature, I am more aware of the issues that plague our country and hurt the liberty of citizens. As a person of color, a person of a religion that is connotated with false rhetorics, I have experienced these issues. In my adulthood, I hope to dismantle injustices in around the globe in hopes of influencing others people or even nation to enact change. I want to stick to my roots and establish an institution that will assist immigrants in finding economic stability and enable them to be perspicacious. I want to foster a sense of confidence and self-resilience in the parents and kids. The ability to remain motivated and maintain immunity against defeat is perhaps the most important ability I have acquired and I want to inspire families to follow that mindset as well. This aforementioned mindset not only works for immigrants but anyone attempting to overcome their hardship. The United States has put me on a path to success. Undoubtedly this path wasn't always paved, but rugged and relentless feet have carried me along. Therefore, I want to influence other to remain motivated and strive through the
adversities.
