CONTRIBUTION TO PERSONAL GROWTH

For some reason, I have always been interested in making others feel included. At
school, when we received exchange students or new students arrived, I always felt
comfortable approaching them and starting conversations. I tried to help them out or introduced
them to the school activities. In this way, I was able to contribute at least to a small extent to their
personal growth and help them get used to their environment. This has always made me happy.
My family comes from a rural community where I learnt the core values that guide me through
my life and career. That is why, I like to use my blog and music to inspire others. I believe in the
power of connecting with people through songs. Music has a healing power – it can make people
feel included.
For me, inclusion is equal to the integration of people, regardless of their social, economic,
cultural status, the colour of their skin or their country of origin. Inclusion is simply a way of
adapting and enabling someone to adjust to a new environment without discriminating against
the person based on their way of thinking or understanding things, but rather respecting their
ideas, ideologies and the views they have based on their personal experiences.
I have always been inspired to move forward as a collective so that all people can thrive with
their talents. Since 2020, I have been part of a campaign to make young people’s voices heard,
enhance their skills, and empower them as agents of change. I have also been able to sing
alongside other artists to raise awareness of the importance of putting children as a priority in
society. This opportunity has allowed me to keep growing, helping others, opening new paths and
bringing new ideas to children and young people.
