50 states
When I proclaimed to my parents that I wanted our family to visit all fifty States together, little did I realize that this journey would have such an impact on my life. At only eight years old, I knew little more than my small town of Glencoe, Illinois and its surroundings. Now that my family and I have visited forty-nine states, with only Alaska left to explore, I have seen firsthand how our country is so dynamically diverse in people, cultures, and geography. As a result of my travels, I have become tolerant, enlightened, and respectful. These trips have also inspired me to be more involved in the community I live in, and have stimulated my interest in an education in business. These trips have opened my eyes to not only the wonders of this country, but also the hardships its citizens face everyday. These travels introduced me to impoverished sections of the United States. I have seen people living on the streets, or in old houses with only one room. Seeing this triggered something inside of me, a feeling that I wanted to do whatever I could to help. I became involved in social action projects to try to do my part. Every month I am involved in the Help the Homeless program at my temple, which makes over 500 lunches
