about the project
My interest in educational value began when I traveled to other parts of the world and saw people my age who never received the opportunity to go to school. My travels helped me acknowledge how important and fortunate education is. Many young people in America do not realize the academic opportunities given to them. I want this piece to inspire American students to take their education seriously. This piece would best be proposed in the front pages of a textbook because students use them every day. They would constantly see the image.
