Coexistence is one of the power words I can proudly say “that describe me”. I was blessed to be surrounded by an environment which made that concept part of my life, no doubt practice makes difference. During 2006 Somalia civil war I and my family immigrated to Egypt for a better life. The beginnings of new life feel like abandoning a tree you planted to grow a seed in another soil not knowing whether it will grow or not. I remember saying goodbye to my Abo and leaving in a boat to the unknown; being an eight-year-old you are expected to forget hardship of immigrating and people you left but always kept a map in my heart for all trees I planted and that’s where I keep memories of my father. As my mother was working in the position …show more content…
whenever we went there were a vast of people from all around the globe sitting and waiting together because we shared common goal. Although chillingly the memories never leave my sight, standing in front of bathroom door listening to her gasp for air, while a waterfall of blood gushed from her mouth. Ironically enough that increased my determination to become a doctor. Since we came to the U.S she been better, but the fear never left us and each time she got sick my mom will repeat her will which by now I know by heart.

From a young age, I experienced civil war I lived with roommates who rooted for the right cause in action by protesting. In the same context the Ogaden tribe fighting for their rights in Ethiopia, my classmates from Palestine who wished to go back one day and finally the Arab Spring. Assassination in the holy month of Ramadan to peaceful praying fathers and sons; I clearly remember those events broadcasting in our home. Furthermore, when I saw different people, from various regions Christian, and Muslims with all skin shades shout together “by blood by souls we oppose injustice” I couldn’t do nothing but confront myself with the truth. We all are interconnected, interrelated creatures and when one part of our body gets hurt we all feel pain directly or indirectly. This helped build my character to participate in civic engagement in America by visiting legislators and meeting with officials to represent the voice of the people by the people and to encourage my diverse Ell class to participate. last but not least enthusiastically I went to the Civic summit that hosted justice, Sonia Sotomayor, to be inspired and one of many things I learned was that sacrifice is necessary for change, and I am more than prepared to do so for both my community and family. To live together peacefully next to each
In the planet, there are different kinds of people who have been co-existing together over the years.

Cesar Chavez Rhetorical Analysis Throughout the existence of mankind, many cultures and civilizations have encountered a form of injustice treatment that has resulted in political movements. Some were supported by violence, such as the Revolutionary War, which was an ultimate result of Great Britain’s lack of freedom of religion, while others, such as the women’s suffrage movement, were based solely on nonviolence. In one of his magazine articles, Cesar Chavez explores Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s idea that nonviolent resistance is the most powerful when fighting injustice as well as why and how this is possible.
Dear Mr. President, Civic and political participation of the people in this nation is important in order to keep a functioning government and society. If the people of this nation ignores their civic responsibilities and don’t help make important decisions, then just a couple individuals are choosing who merits government positions. It 's our obligation as citizens to ensure our rights and take an interest politically. Lastly, civic and political participation is important because it allows people to be herd, to fight for justice and equality. What issues or events motivated the person to action?
We continue to watch the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. We continue to watch the oppressors do as they please. We have eyes, yet we are blinded by the belief that we are safer if we stayed out of their business, not realizing that this is everyone’s business. We have ears, yet we refuse to listen to the cries of the helpless. We have hearts, but we don’t feel the pain of those who lost their loved ones.
The urge for freedom will eventually come… Something within him has reminded him of his birthright freedom; something without has reminded him that he can find it.” (MLK, 584). This quote shows the impact that external systems and structures has on the internal struggle for self-determination. One cannot go about changing the external systems and structures, without overcoming the beliefs that those structures put in the oppressed groups head about themself. This shows that the external struggle comes first and plays a deep roll in the manifestation of the internal struggle.
I helped make sure the members running got where they needed to be and escorted them from place to place. Also, before the members gave their speeches I sat in the black box with them listening to their speeches and making sure they weren’t doing anything they weren’t supposed to.

To fight for a cause higher than self was a selfless act and not everyone had the courage to do so. Having people share their experience and unity showed how change can bring together individuals
We see poverty on our own streets and hear of violence in our communities. How important is all this if we don't speak up? By ignoring the suffering around us anger and hatred no longer exist. People are incapable of feeling because they choose to ignore and abandon the victims - something even anger and hatred cannot do.
I encouraged new ideas- such as finding easier ways to improve fundraising- into meetings that would be beneficial to my class. I have set an example for my class by aiding with the pep rally-as well as participating in it- and helping to organize the Sophomore Semi. Being able to lead in these activities gave me a
So what has this taught America? America has learned that the fight for equality and against discrimination is ongoing. Additionally, the movements fight for equality has become the basis for other progressive movements. Immigration reformation, for example, exudes a myriad of similarities to the protests and legal actions of the 50’s and 60’s.
I sacrificed my time to help plan for the Relay for Life. The Relay for Life event changed people's lives because it inspired them to donate money to cancer research and to help join the fight to end cancer. The character pillar has shaped by development by making the excellent choices. I started helping out for the community in any way possible.

Joining the school marching band at the beginning of my freshman year of high school was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
