Social Responsibility
“It is important to take responsibility in some way, big or small, for the betterment of our global community. I’ve always felt that if I’m not actively thinking about or researching what I can do to improve something, then I’m not doing my part as a fellow human being in this world. I strive to push myself out of my comfort zone – to learn more about what makes me different from other people and what unites us.
I hope you’ll do the same.”
