This is a hard question to answer, but I should try... I believe, that there should, in this life, be equality to all genders, races, and sexual orientations. There should also be an equal distribution of economy, along with the extinguishing of slang. But, maybe, if I look around my community, and figure out how to make it grow stronger, I should. To make it stronger, I would like to remove the WASL-program and give equal distribution of money to public schools in Washington. If not, then I'd like the WASL program to be instilled in all private schools so that the wealthy are not exempt from a federally demanded requirement that entices students to drop-out.
Yes, I guess, my focus would be to better our own community, so we can then have the ability to better other communities world-wide.

AoD#13: Celebration of Music
Art of Democracy
The other day, I played my violin at an elementary school, in order to help inspire children to join the music programs in middle school.
For one of the first times, I was able to use what I had learned in music and show make a difference with it. It helped me to celebrate my growth. And I was even able to see the repercussions of this, resulting in about ten students aspiring to become musicians.
In this way, I was able to celebrate and appreciate what I had come to learn over the course of six years in a way that both benefited myself and others.

AoD#12: Family Debate
Art of Democracy
A few days ago, my grandfather and I were talking, debating really. But, amidst our talking, I was unable to get my ideas across.
I was adequately interrupted mid-thought and I soon lost the will to debate or even my reason to. He spoke over me and twisted my incomplete thoughts. My mother attempted to stand in as a mediator, but he refused to listen to either of us, even my father.
As thus, when there was a debate - a negotiation that had gone awry, really - over the break, my family was unable to come to a conclusion.
But, as we debated, my grandfather tried to help me understand the concepts of democracy that I seemed to fail in grasping.
