On Paper Isn’t Enough unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.” (Mandela, 1994). Whenever I return home, I made aware anew of how much my education has changed me. I have found, and I believe I will continue to find, that in seeking to change the world we live in, I myself am growing and changing for the better. While I have chosen a path that’s purpose is to help others, I am fully aware that it is not only my responsibility or that of the people in my major to champion these causes. Rather it is that of the business men and women who are able to reduce poverty through providing equitable employment. It is that of the engineers able to design sustainable infrastructure to aid the developing world. It is that of the psychologists and sociologists and of the scientists. In short, it is all of us. That is why I am most grateful to be surrounded by an array of people and professions that, in addition to their major classes, are receiving a liberal arts education similar to my own, so that they too may be empowered to be the change they wish to see in the world.
