Personal Narrative: This I Believe

510 Words2 Pages

This I Believe “ We may have different religions, different languages, different coloured skin, but we all belong to one human race” This is a quote by Nobel Peace prize win, Kofi Annan. His goal is for peace and human rights. For equality. Much like him I believe everyone, no matter what, should be treated equally no matter what someone's religion, culture, gender, sexuality, or size. One should not be judged or placed in a stereotype just because of their outside appearance. I remember being a kid and my mother always saying I was born with three strikes against me. I am a girl of spanish descent, and of Christian religion. She always told me I would have to work harder than everyone around me if I wanted to be able to obtain my goals.

In reality we should see each other as equal, because if not it limits us and it will become harder to achieve our full potential. We can not hide our true selves and try to become something we are not, because what’s the point? All that’s doing is promoting judgment and we will get nowhere because there will always be second thoughts on our next actions. The moment we stop and accept everybody for who they are is the same moment we release our true selves and show others what we really can

Nothing could have prepared me for this moment. This was the moment that I did the only thing that I didn't know I could do. The chance to prove myself to my teammates, coach, and family members.

Equality is important in order to keep peace within a society without it everything would be corrupt and chaotic. People should not be discriminated for things that they cannot control. For example, when a male and a female apply for the same job, they should be judged on their work ethic, not their sex. There are differences towards different people however; in order to live in a peaceful country we must put our differences aside. We shouldn’t be treating people differently because of our differences instead we should be treating everyone equally considering that we are all different and no two people are the same. Their outside appearance should not be accounted for anything; their personality

Oppression: The Use Of Peer Pressure In Our Society

This is shown through the numerous times throughout history in which this has happened. In early 1942, president Roosevelt called for the relocation of everyone of Japanese ancestry on the west coast (National Archives). During the Holocaust the Nazi Regime’s main goal was to eliminate all of the Jews in Europe, since they were the “cause of all problems” (USHMM). This is also seen during the segregation between people of color and those who were white in America, the ideology at the time was that anyone who wasn’t white wasn’t even a “complete” human (VCU Libraries). With this ideology we created the idea to make anyone who was different, lesser. Even to the point where those who are different are completely segregated from the “normal” society or even killed on a massive scale. Through this ,as a species, we show that we are not very accepting of people who are different than ourselves, or the greater

I believe in self love. It's taken me 17 years to be able to breath comfortably in my own skin. I can't remember at what age or moment in time where I looked in the mirror and thought my image was every bad thing possible. But, over time insecurities, harsh words, and self doubt snowballed into a toxic self image. Constantly being too much and not enough at the same time began to drive me up the wall. I truly believed I would never be good enough for anyone, not even my own parents. My mindset affected everything. It affected my perspective on life, friendships, academic career, and my happiness.

One time, I loved another person. He was, in my eyes, the most beautiful human. I loved him for the way he looked into my eyes and touched my hands and the gentle articulations of his voice. The way he would play the violin with such skill and grace. He was never harsh or angry. I wanted to be with him in the simplest ways. I wanted to be with him at his worst just to help him up again. I wanted to be the last one to say goodnight. I just wanted to be next to him.
