"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." -Maya Angelou
As an English major I have had the chance to cultivate my skills as a writer, and I am so thankful for this opportunity. The paper that is featured above is one that I wrote for my Advanced Composition class in the Spring of 2013. The assignment given to us for this paper was to choose a topic that we felt passionate about, and compelled to write about. It is my dream to be an Elementary school teacher in an urban city where educational change is greatly needed. Growing up just outside of Washington DC in Fairfax County, VA I was given one of the best educations in the country. But, just down the road from me are children in DC who are facing educational inequality every day. It is my mission in life to change the world through education, and I feel that in this paper I reflect how passionate I am about educational inequality in this country.
