Saving The World

“A nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself,” Franklin D. Roosevelt famously implored in response to environmental concerns in America. Humans call planet Earth their home, and more specifically, I call Granbury, Texas, my home. The little town is suffused with history, a deep sense of community, and my childhood.

However, when I peer out into the vast and beloved Lake Granbury, I am faced with the realization that times have changed, and all I perceive is an arid array of land and grass. The land where the serene waters used to boast many memories, is now thirsting for water as if it was placed in the middle of a desert. Taking care of the environment is a key necessity in my life, and when it is in need, those needs should be tended to. Stepping back from our daily lives and embracing Earth’s beautiful and pristine nature emits a refreshing feeling.

Planting a tree rather than constructing a building, picking up trash instead of littering, and conserving water, not just in desperate times, are all environmentally friendly acts that benefit our world. For all that our surroundings give to us, the least I can do is attempt to not destroy its soil, but to protect it. Humans take an
immense toll on our environment.Furthermore, I traveled to Greece during the summer and learned that the clean and peaceful city of Athens was polluted. Sadly, there were sources of water that were restricted from public consumption, so I strive everyday to take care of the only planet I will ever inhabit as well as those sharing it with me. Therefore, I believe that Texas A&M is an impeccable choice for my future. With the asset of enjoying helping others, I aspire to become a doctor? specifically a neonatologist. If I could help save the lives of innocent new born babies and have an impact on their survival, I would feel purely accomplished. The
environment, as well as a baby, is unable to protect itself from hardship, and therefore needs my helping hand.

In order to get me to that vision, I plan to devote my future in college to this astounding university. Taking care of and protecting our precious environment is an issue I hold close to my heart. Through being an avid student in clubs such as Key Club, National Honor Society, FCCLA, and Junior Leadership, as well as being an honor student, I believe that the wisest decision would be to take my education, moral values, philanthropic outlook, and future, to Texas A&M.
