Social Justice two words that are given a big meaning like power and war but to me it something simple as some peace. Why peace? Well peace has always been mistaken for a weak, unpowerful word that only exist in movies and TV shows. As of today that word almost no longer exist because people have become numb in trying to come together and fighting injustices together .So many people forget that we are all equal and that we are all in this battle together. Peace is what is suppose to bring us together not hatred and anger. Just like the many parents, students and staff fought with peace and determination to make this school possible for the many years of next generation kids to have an education. These people fought without the need of violence and putting people in danger. There were sacrifices that could affect many of these peoples lives in the hunger strike but that didn't stop them from making things possible. They knew what they were signing up for and they stayed with it, that for one is the meaning of social justice. Coming together as people and going through whatever obstacle there is to be heard and make a difference in the community. That’s the point that most people are missing in this generation when it comes to other bigger issues starting riots and damaging the city is not the way to get to those politics in powers attention. It’s tiring to people who want things to change and frustration overtakes them into thinking actual that it’s the best way to go. The struggles we face in trying to achieve social justice is the obstacles that can occur in our daily lives such as something simple as dealing with family issues. Which in most times is a place where us as teens can't make decisions for everyone. In my life I have obstacles that are rather deeper than regular family decisions and can affect me in the way I see the words social justice because my opinion at most times don't matter and they don't matter because it not at the right place or time. And most decisions will be made with or without me. I know most of them can and will affect my life but I know I will be able to get through this struggle. The things that can help a person in the struggle is having and being a positive person seeing what can be done differently or better. Always planning and moving forward and most importantly never giving up. My contribution to social justice is trying to be a good student and peer to my friends and teachers. In giving my best academically and spiritually. My fire is being happy with myself and the people around me. My fire is finding who I am and helping others along the way, And become who I want to be in my life
