I am what I learn contest entry by Radhika Mitra

This is my version of I am what I learn. I believe in learning and using my knowledge to help the underprivileged. I have founded a non-profit organization called Renaissance Now (website: www.rennow.org) to help underprivileged, talented artists and victims of human trafficking. It is not easy to run a non-profit organization while being a High School student. I often have no time to hang around with my friends as I have to organize meetings and fundraisers or make phone calls at odd hours to talk to artisans located in other part of the world. However, I can not explain the joy I get in giving back to society.




High school is tough, so we all need to work hard to graduate. Without passing High School, there will be no future in this world. Unskilled and untrained people earn the lowest wages and live at the mercy of others. We are lucky - we have one of the finest free public education infrastructures available to us. Let us not waste that, and continue learning to become productive, responsible citizens.

Cool Radhika. Reminder that so many young people around the world are in serious need for the things we often take for granted. And, we can do something about it.
