PASSION+SSC

If a passion is true, no one can stop you from achieving your goals! Many people have different passions. A passion, according to Google Definition, is "a strong controllable emotion." My definition of passion is a feeling allowing you to accomplish anything you set your mind to. These passions may be obvious, but they may be hard to find. My passion has allowed me to impact the world in many ways, but it took me a while to get there. Finding your passion is an important part of impacting the world. The journey of finding my passion started when I first started school at Incarnation Catholic School.

Incarnation Catholic School helped me find my passion of using my voice. I started using my voice in third grade. In third grade, I was eligible for joining the choir. Once I joined the church choir, I was able to use my voice for many people for the first time. As choir went on, I learned techniques and got a bigger interest in singing. As I grew up, I sang more than just church songs. When I did this, I was able to use my emotions. I liked being able to change emotions for different songs. This is one way I can use my passion. You may be asking how it impacts the entire world. My passion can start by impacting the community when I sing at Church and use my emotions while singing a song. But this is only one part of my passion from school.

Incarnation also taught me how to use my voice while speaking. When I started fifth grade, I started reciting speeches in front of my classroom. When I started writing my speech I was excited that I was actually going to read it, but as the time came closer and closer I was getting nervous. Once I finally finished and everyone applauded, I gave a sigh of relief. At ICS I am able to voice my opinion and use my emotions. This is how writing and speeches became my favorite thing to do. Many people use their voice in different ways; I use mine in school to voice my opinion.

Voices can be used in different ways. Martin Luther King Jr. used his voice to help end segregation; Nelson Mandela used his voice to create peace within Africa, and many other people have used their voices in the past. I intend to use my voice to influence decision and show a different point of view. I can change a point of view by showing all facts. When I show all facts, a person's opinion can't be biased. This will help that person see the true story. When I voice the truth everyone will see the important facts to a story. I can only do this by using my passion.

When I use my voice to influence opinion, I am also saying my opinion. Although it is sometimes not the same as others, I can explain how I got my idea to change theirs. Influencing opinion can impact the world in a great way. Many people have already done it. One example is George Washington. The father of our country used his voice to lead the troops across the Delaware river. Without his voice, Washington might not have achieved his goal of defeating the British in the Revolutionary War. George Washington used his voice to impact the impacting I can also impact the world on big matters.Others with higher authority need to be heard. I hope that in the future as I chose my career I will be able to use my voice on these matters. I want to use my passion in the future.

How can I use my passion now? Leadership is that way! By using my voice I can take as many leadership roles to make sure my opinions are heard. Leadership roles need to be taken when you are set with a problem. I very much like taking these leadership roles because it allows me to think outside of the box and help find the answers. But being a part of a group means I need to listen to what they say. Listening is a key part of my passion. I cannot use my voice without listening to others use theirs. In these groups, together, we can impact the world.

As you can tell I can use my passion of my voice to impact the world in many ways. My journey of finding my passion started at a place I can call my second home. As my time here at ICS has progressed, I have found more ways to use my voice. I can use my voice by singing and reciting speeches. I can follow famous people such as Martin Luther King Jr. to use my voice to impact the world. I can change people's opinions and be a leader while using my voice. I am impacting the world with my passion! When will you use your passion?
