WinnerBoth of my parents have done so much for the community. Both of them were essential workers during the pandemic, risking their lives for the safety and wellness of others.
While they made sure we were learning at home, my mom worked most of her mornings to the afternoon at H-E-B, ensuring the best customer experience. She had done work in the pharmacy, so she was there to make sure everyone was vaccinated, and healthy.
My dad works for the border patrol. He already ensures safety for the US, but now he’s been doing a lot more. He has also been an instructor for his classes, and has always been an exemplary student, even though he's in his forties. My dad also has something to do when he retires. Due to his new drone training. He can continue to his job, and spend time with us, like he’s always wanted to. He usually couldn’t see us through the day because he worked at night, and had to sleep during the day.
Even Though my parents help out a lot in the community of South Texas, we still don't make a lot of money. We want to make sure I can get into college without needing to pay so much, because we don’t have a lot to give, but I can give back by developing more skill at college. I want to use my skills in art to bring awareness and hope to South Texas, and make a change or the better. Through art, I want to hit topics such as mental health, disorders, economic issues, and more. Another thing I want to do is support local businesses. With Texas having such large communities within the state, there are so many local businesses, and each is unique. Such as two different coffee shops that sell different coffees, each tasting different. One has such wide options, the other doesn’t have as much. I want to be able to get involved and help support their products, and help get them more known, since one is hidden between trees, and the other blends in with the buildings. Small local businesses need to be heard, and I want to help with that voice.
Beyond that, I want to be able to help change the world, through the from of art. I can tackle global issues, and brig awareness to big things, such as global warming, pollution, and violence. I know that I have the skill, and time to help make the world a better place.
