Compassion is the foundation of how I see the world. I believe in gender equality and cannot accept the idea that men should be granted more privileges than women. Fairness, to me, is not an abstract principle but something that must guide our choices every day.
In sixth grade, when asked to write about someone who inspired me, I chose Malala Yousafzai. While others looked to athletes or celebrities, I found strength in Malala’s story — a young girl who stood against inequality and fought for education with extraordinary courage. She showed me that true power lies not in fame, but in bravery and wisdom.
Beyond inspiration, compassion calls me to act. I feel a deep empathy for children with disabilities, who often face struggles beyond what most can imagine. Through volunteering activities, I have sought to bring them joy, whether by spending time, sharing small gifts, or simply offering companionship. These experiences remind me that even small gestures can carry profound meaning.
I want to grow into someone who combines courage with compassion: standing up for fairness, giving voice to the unheard, and extending kindness to those in need. That, to me, is the kind of strength worth striving for.
