Advocating a Monument When you look at Houston Community College (HCC) you see a verity of races. No one person is the same. HCC has Caucasian, African American, Hispanics, and many others. I want to make a statue in front of HCC with students of different races. It would show how diverse HCC really is. My statue would be place in front where the HCC sign is. The students would be interacting with one another. All would be different races; each one of them would have books, backpack, or both. I would want to show how diverse and friendly HCC really is. Everyone is different but when it comes to education there the same that’s what leads them to HCC. For example, HCC has many different classes you can take, like Spanish or German classes to learn another language. This would make HCC be even more cultural than it already is. When a large body of people can come together under one common goal is such a beautiful thing. I know that this statue would attract not only people that attend the school, but past and future students. It’s a new year and it’s time for change, nobody wants the same thing just look at how much the world is changing. From the way that people interact, foods we eat, to the styles of clothes, and music we listen to. This is something that I have always wanted to do even before this paper came into play. I know that people expressing themselves is what the new age life is focusing more on. This statue would be something that would go down in history and my children can tell their children what their mother did. First, you have to understand how powerful statues are. Look at the statue of Jesus or of the Virgin Mary, million of years later people still honor the statues as if they were built the day before. Being diverse is the same as freedom of speech without voice. This statue that can’t talk, can tell a lot of stories. It will show people what is most import about school, or than parties and school events. The most important thing is your education and being able to get along with people from all over the world. I know for a fact that this would really help HCC get more students from all over. As a person the worst feeling that you can have is to never feel like you belong. This diverse statue will raise the awareness of the people of how different the world and schools have changed over the years. I have faith that when students are people who don’t usually talk to other races see the statue they will change for the better. This is the only dream of mine that I have ever had and wasn’t asleep, I know that with my visions of Change and help from friends and family, that this one thing will come true.
