My Idea for a Better Tomorrow!

My idea for a better tomorrow falls under each of the following categories (Business Development, Community Service, and Education) in one way or another now let me explain to you just how.

I believe a lot of women in today's society want a family or already have one but at the same time want the opportunity to further educate them selves and work, to develop themselves as individuals. Being a mum isn't just a job, it is a skill. It requires compassion, empathy and more importantly patience.

I am from a multi cultural background and believe that some non speaking English women would find it harder to learn as they do not know the English language. So its not easy for these types of people as like my mother who has difficulty in understanding/speaking our native tongue and was forced to raise 6 children from when she was 16yo had little or no opportunities to learn. As for the fluent speaking women, without this problem, may feel as though being a full time mum as well as educating themselves at the same time is not possible. But I am here to state otherwise.

A woman may have the desire to attain a degree in a specialist area but without community support, money and education, and understanding of English they will not be successful. I believe I will succeed in the area I am working in because I am patient, persistent and have had the support and understanding of people around me. I have a great desire to help people and their communities to allow women to educate themselves so they can feel empowered to take on the world....I too want to be successful, maybe one day.

I believe although $5000 would not be enough to help many women, it would be a start in helping some. Women are always treated as a commodity and not as an individual, perhaps if my idea of them having the opportunity to further educate themselves in the privacy of their own home, anytime they like. It would be like having a personal learning development centre in their homes. They can manage their family life as well as educate them selves to succeed and as the saying goes breakthrough the barrier, where men believe they are more superior than we are but this is because they have more chances to educate themselves.

We could run an advertising campaign and gain sponsors willing to donate time or funding from organisations and create one of our own not for profit run organisation. We can assist non English speaking persons with tutors willing to help out voluntarily. We can also ask larger IT companies for free advertising or website development; I have worked in IT departments who throw out perfectly good machines as they are outdated. We could use these machines to install in these women's homes and allow them access to online courses to educate themselves (as I am doing part time) while working a full time job. All of this is needed to help get the business up and running. Women deserve to learn with the flexibility to learn at their own pace and in one of many dozens of accredited courses so that as their children are ready for Pre School etc, they can take their career to the next level.

I wish to help people out of empathy for them. I am 20 years of age and have been very fortunate and grateful for all my life experiences and am constantly working towards future success and promotions, everything has been a blessing so far.

I can attempt to understand how these women would feel because I feel this in my own family with my mother never having the opportunity to study or work. Compassion and the desire to help people and their communities are also important attributes to helping people succeed, and these are also evident in me.

I have the desire to help others which has been exhibited in my previous volunteer work for the cancer council, SIDS and kids, volunteer nursing home work and even just working on the student representative council in high school many years ago.

I had the opportunity to stand up in front of crowds in national speaking competitions and if we could do this with media agencies, perhaps they can lend us their support. I receive no greater satisfaction than when I see someone succeed beyond their expectations. I have previously organized charitable events and the feeling I acquire from knowing I am contributing to changing a person's life is overwhelming.

This would be an opportunity only provided to those women who were seriously determined in changing their lives by wanting to succeed. I believe with help from the right people in our community, by assisting to provide further opportunities for women to educate themselves so they can become the successful women of tomorrow. So that they too can succeed beyond their expectations and finally further their business development opportunities and one day perhaps run a business of their own.
