381 Words1 Page

Freedom is a complex idea, and people can feel free in the most bizarre places or situations. For me I feel the most free when I am playing soccer. I feel like I am at one with myself, like a bird in a clear blue sky. I attribute this feeling of freedom to the fact that I love soccer. I have loved soccer all my life. The wind against my face, flowing through my hair as I run. The thump of the ball as I kick it. The sunshine warming my body. The sound of my teammates talking. The softness of the grass below my feet. The sounds of the outdoors. These are the things about playing soccer that make me feel happy and free. Another place I feel free is on runs, with my earbuds in and my music loud. I just get lost in my own little world. The music

What I’m trying to say here, is that we don’t have complete freedom, there are certain behaviors that are not allowed in a society which still have an individual under control. That is not freedom, and being on John’s shoes isn’t either.

    Malala Yousafzai once stated, “I raise up my voice–not so that I can shout, but so those without a voice can be heard.” This philosophy is one that I have always modelled my life after. However, it was not until my freshman year of high school that I truly began affiliating myself with the causes of human rights and social justice. It may sound a bit absurd, but the most prominent force that caused me to become more concerned with the pursuit of justice has been the internet. Due to its vast amounts of information, I am now an active feminist and an all around supporter of human rights. I constantly seek to further my awareness on such issues, taking care to learn and expand on my knowledge of the inequities of the world. Once I opened
