My goal is to one day in the near future open an all-girls orphanage, in order to help young girls who grew up in similar situations as myself, and give them the much needed push towards a better future. In doing so, I hope to take part in teaching children to do what they can, further spread the desire for teaching. Educating those who do not have the means to learn is, to me, solving the root of the problem. Those who are uneducated are not able to find careers for themselves, which ultimately leads to poverty.
