What Changemaker inspires you?
November is a month of thanks. Who do you thank for being a role model? Who inspires you to be a changemaker?

Sister Joan Fitzgerald, the principal of Xavier College Preparatory, has been a true changemaker in the lives of many Arizonian teenage girls. Her fifty years of dedication to helping each of her students “meet the challenges of a changing global society in a positive and productive manner” is an amazing inspiration.

I have been inspired to be a changemaker, not by one, but by a group of people. I volunteer at a home for developmentally disabled adults, and they are my role models. They struggle and they laugh, they learn and they play, some talk and some mumble, however they all serve a purpose as one of God’s gifts, and they are all certainly a gift to me. They have taught me compassion and responsibility and to be thankful for what I have. Most importantly they have taught me strength to persevere. Challenges are only a speck in a much larger picture, and I know that the lessons they have taught me will influence my life for years to come, to make a difference and appreciate the world around me, and to make it a better living space for all with compassion and love.

Children change me. I want to become a pediatric oncologist and have applied to USD in hopes of continuing my change. Children inspire me to keep pushing through. I helped a local 4 year old boy with stage 4 brain cancer (pineoblastoma) by raising over $2,100 for his family and by applying to several scholarships that, if won, I would give the money to him. He’s so small, and to see life by looking into the eyes of a sick 4 year old really makes you realize why you wanted to become a change maker in the first place.
