I entered the first semester of my freshman year, opinionated and unsure of what to expect. I believed in many of the same things I do now: hard work, equality, advocacy, love, faith in something (even if we do not know what), and truth, among others. I found, though, when it came to approaching people, taking action, and believing in the impossible, I was immensely influenced by people in my life.

The effects of apartheid have long outlived the days of its existence and there seems to be no sign at this point of South Africa completely moving past it. There is, however, always hope, and solutions are much sought after. In August 2011, former Archbishop Desmond Tutu1 announced his suggestion to rectify the wrongs of the past by implementing laws that require all white citizens to pay a special tax.

The National Organization for Women established hope for women who have been facing hate and violence throughout their lives.The National Organization for Women was formed by a group of women who stood up against discrimination, unfair treatment, and justice for all.
