Assignment Part II

          While extolling the importance of imagination, JK Rowling says "One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: 'What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality'. That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people's lives simply by existing."

We all assume our position in life, every day in fact, and we live each and every one of those days as new, but what we tend to do with those days are what make us unique. Rowling brings up an important and factual checkpoint in our lives, how we as human beings are changing another person’s life. As cliché as this may sound, the novelty of her words in her speech to Harvard graduates, poses an ominous query to society as a whole. We may tend to believe that no one cares, or may tell ourselves no one is watching, while in reality the world is gazing upon our every move. Being blessed enough to realize that just because I may be behind closed doors on occasion, the world is still subject to my successes or lack thereof. I have the utmost confidence in myself in everything I do and always set goals which some may even deem to high, but in my mind I can only go higher. Saying that, is saying this, in that I, Julius Hatcher, believe in myself to be a leader upon leaders inside school, amongst peers, and in the outside world to all of society. I do not limit myself to the confines of others beliefs and by doing so create an aurora around myself in which I know others feed off of. Without first being confident in myself, I could not be a leader or life changer to other people. Through all of these traits I change others’ lives, by showing them that success is possible, a life of pleasure and enthusiasm, and by being a leader upon leaders, which is humbly being myself and existing.

Such inward achievements include my profound leadership, my willing to be myself no matter what circumstance and confidence in myself in everything I do. These are just a small array of some of my inward achievements in which I am most proud, because I feel as if these touch the general public most often. While I continue to grow older and display my inward achievements to the outside world I hope to continue to touch others as I already have. I hope to be a bridge for students, a way out of the coal fields in Mingo County, to greater achievements in life. I hope to be a light to everyone in the whole United States and in other countries as well, an international highway in which I can show peace among every nation through the Lord and His will. To do these things for our society, I must continue on my journey to be the best that I can be, which began with my birth and a cry for greater aspirations in life.
