To think of young girls in India, pulled from school and forced into sex work or child marriages…

To remember the Columbian children limited to less than four years of an education, due to living in a war ravaged country…

To contemplate the past African American educational experience, one supported by less funding and resources…

To dream of helping over 3 million Chinese children with no access to education due to socioeconomic status…

…Is to appreciate and excel in your educational endeavors.

Inspired by Independent Collegian columnist Hillary Gyuras, a senior double majoring in Women and Gender Studies and Law and Social thought,  who so eloquently stated, “I’m investing in the empowerment of all people. I hope that through my own studies, I’m able to be part of the solution (to help those deprived of an education)”.

Let excelling in finals become your way of expressing your love for knowledge and your appreciation for what many around the world are deprived of due to gender, ethnicity, or poverty.

Thank you for reading, and Best of Luck on finals.
