Inspiration
By: Khazmyne Kawamoto

Out of the infinite amount of words there are in existence, I would use the word “inspiration”. What is it to be inspired? It is defined as the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. Why inspiration, one may ask? In the following paragraph(s), it will describe why I wish to attend college using one word and why I have chosen that specific word.
Everyone in one point of his or her life has been inspired to do something, whether it be drawing, dancing, or learning to cook a new recipe. At a young age, I was inspired to attend a college or a university from my family, friends, and teachers. As I grew up, I have seen and heard about many people such as Steve Jobs, Bruno Mars, Angelina Jolie, Larry Page and Sergey Brin who some have started from small beginnings and are now inspirations to many people such as myself. I wish to use college as the means to gain information, expand my knowledge, discover myself and use it to inspire others around the world also. Personally, I find it inspiring how many individuals were able to solve problems in life or do what they love and make a living out of it. Whether I decide to major in Business, Computer Science, Education, or Finance, I am sure to inspire at least one other individual in his or her life. I love to learn new things, always finding myself to be watching documentaries, “how to make” YouTube videos, and Ted Ex short videos online. I wish to – as what one would say, “leave my mark” on this world before I am gone.
