Ayn Rand’s Anthem depicts a collectivist society where no man is allowed to be an individual. Due to this society making the people believe that there is no “I” but only a “we” the people of the community blindly believe what the higher power tells them. The people in the society of Anthem live with jobs that the head of the government give them and emotion is pushed to the side, all leading to Equality questioning and eventually breaking the law. Equality is a symbol of identity within Anthem who rebels against the system secretly. The ideals and rules of a collectivist society represented in Anthem by Ayn Rand show that collectivism is not an efficient way to create peace and order in a society.

You’ve had a ringside seat of me on my journey to discovering, uncovering and becoming who I was purposed to be. You have had a bird 's eye view at what to do and not to do for your own journey, but most importantly I hope you have learned that the journey is not just for the one who’s living it but most importantly for those who are experiencing it. So please know that my journey is for the benefit of you and your brothers mainly.

Living alone without the family is one of the worst things in the world especially for the teenagers who cannot depend on themselves. For me, at least I can bear than anyone else because I can depend on myself for domestic works. I don’t need to own to anyone and also my parent don’t need to worry about me.

I started a job and along some teaching classes to small kids. After a hard period of one year, I was able enough to continue my studies and now my only mission is to become someone on whom my father get proud of and then I will ask him why he did all of this to us .

I personally have become a better person because of FCCLA. I take my education seriously, because before I used to blow off my education. Through FCCLA I’ve gotten so much different opportunities, that I’d be lost if I wasn’t apart of FCCLA. Also FCCLA has brought me lifelong friendships, I’ve met other people from other states, and I still do keep in touch with them, it’s also an encouragement or something to look forward to if I do qualify for Nationals.
