The guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others, to seek out marginalized and less fortunate individuals of our communities and offer any aid that we can. I have always lived by the motto “do unto others as you would have done to you”, and feel that the best way to do this is by furthering the ideal of social justice in the way I live and work. Social justice, as I see it, is the value system that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every human being and the right of everyone to be treated fairly and with respect. I believe that every individual is worthy of dignity and respect and each individual has the ability to become self-sufficient and able to make the best possible choices for themselves. When we as a society try to see the world through the eyes of the less fortunate, we can empathize with and understand one another. Only when each and every individual of a community is afforded the same level of dignity and respect can a society truly be called civilized. Those who cannot demand social justice for themselves must have a voice to demand it for them. It is my hope that by earning a Master’s degree in Social Work I can be that voice.
Our well-being is about having meaning in our lives, developing as a person and feeling that our lives are fulfilling and worthwhile. Our relationships also provide for our most basic human needs. Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and development. Our relationships are the substance from which each of us grows and interacts. The relationship substance strengthens our bonds and builds trust. As we grow, we learn from our life experiences. Reinforcement of values is what makes us who we are as individuals. For example, support and confidence from others helps to mold us into being a positive part of society. What makes individuals who they are is contributed by everyone who has helped and guided that person. Whether our family structure is composed of one or both parents, or other family members, strong support from others is important for that individuals’ well-being.
Just as human relationships with others and our family are essential for our well-being so is being able to trust others. Trust impacts everyone. It affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, and every effort in which we are engaged. The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is not only vital to our personal and interpersonal well-being but for the community as well. I believe that within every individual is the ability for him and her to reach their full potential. We seek to act with integrity in our own lives, fostering trust in our relationships with family, friends, and others. As people’s lives become more fulfilled, so this makes a positive change in how they interact with those around them, and these in turn affect others. As a result of this, one person living their life according with who they really are can, in a sense, bring positive change to the world. We can be the ones to give others that sense of hope that they can change their lives and improve their well-being.
Being different is the essence of humanity. Therefore it should never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to being different is to respect it. There in lies a fundamental principal to peace: respect for diversity. We are all different yet want the same things for each other: to be respected by others. We should respect everyone that is different from ourselves and respect their beliefs, traditions, values and opinions. In some ways, all these things put together makes us unique in who we are. Therefore we need to embrace our differences and uniqueness.
I grew up in a small community in Southern Texas where most of the individuals were of Spanish heritage. We all interacted with one another regardless of our economic status or ethnic backgrounds. My families background is mixed. My mother is Mexican American and my father is African American. I only experienced the Mexican part of my heritage because I was raised by my mother. I can never escape my heritage as it is a major part of who I am. My heritage is everywhere around me. It is in our names, the foods we eat, the way we dance, sing, move, and interact with each other. For example, I enjoy listening to the music, Mariachi dances, and learning how to speak Spanish fluently. I enjoy eating Spanish foods like enchiladas, tacos, and chimichangas. This will never leave who I am.
There were many times when I would have conversations with others from my Spanish heritage, and they would hear me speak the language and they would comment on how I could speak Spanish really well. As we knew how to speak the same language, we already knew that there was something in common. I always assumed that anyone who spoke Spanish were of Mexican heritage. This is where I admit that I was wrong. I began to learn about the diversity of the Spanish heri

I made a few grammar changes and the questionable parts I put a number next to and a reference at the bottom. The last sentence is incomplete to remind you. Barely had to change anything, your paper reads well, good luck.

1- You said “the guiding principle of my life is that each of us has a duty to help and serve others” so what you’re saying is the guiding principle of my life = “each of us has a duty to help and serve others” so that’s not quite proper.
2- These two sentences are a bit repetitive but there’s nothing wrong with them technically.
3- Changed the sentence, the flow of the other one was awkward but everything else is great.
4- It’s not quite proper to say “conversations with others from my Spanish heritage” because heritage is a legacy, tradition or birthright so you shouldn’t refer to it in this way.
