I took the political compass test earlier this year and it stated that I was left-winged. I was not surprised with the results as I do not consider myself conservative nor republican, I believe in equality not equality of opportunity. This idea of equality and fairness in the justice system has been something that I have believed in for a long time. There have been several instances where I have advocated for causes that really mean a lot to me – many of these causes were humanitarian crises. I was politically active during 2018 when the Rohingya Crisis came to international attention as I felt a sense of injustice that I could not let slide. I took to social media to get awareness and even worked with the principal of my school to organise a focus week on the issue. But it’s not only refugee crises that I am involved with, I have worked with my school and Amnesty International for the Write4Rights events in which I wrote 23 letters to the Nicaraguan government to release political prisoners. I have always been involved in condemning political injustice and this stems from my inherent need to spread good in the world. Not only do I believe in advocating for Human Rights but I also believe that we, as inhabitants of Earth, need to take a stance against Climate Change and work towards doing our part in reducing carbon emissions and conserving resources.
