    Global Citizen Essay

    The Ambassador School of Global Leadership has strong visions and missions for our

    students. ASGLs vision is to prepare students to become college and career ready and

    satisfactorally global. ASGLs mission is to strive to raise awareness of global issues through

    conversation and subjection. Our school also has the four guiding principles which are listen

    from the heart, global citizens consider and respect different perspectives, be honest with

    yourself and others, and seek positive solutions and take action. Being a global citizen will

    benefit my future.

    So what does it mean to be a global citizen? Global citizens are aware of not just what is

    happening in their surroundings, but what is going on around the globe; someone that

    participates in and contributes to the community from locally to globally, and willing to act to

    make the world a better place. Some examples of global citizens today are power couple Brad

    Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They involve in several philanthropic activities. Jolie is widely known

    for her work as an ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The

    couple are strong supporters of same-sex marriage, and continue to grow their family of a mix of

    adopted and biological children. Tim Tebow is another example of a global citizen. Although

    hes a major football star, he makes time to help out in the world. In 2011, CURE and the Tebow

    Foundation announced their plan to build a childrens hospital in the Philippines, which was the

    country he was born in, and raised money for a pediatric cancer center to give disadvantaged
    children a chance to go to Disneyland. Although jocks are considered as snooty and jerk-like,

    Tebow is a team player and has a big heart.

    I feel that I am becoming a global citizen right now because I attend a global affiliated

    school and I contribute to the community. By attending ASGL, we blend in global icons into our

    learning. We also have the Global Performance Outcomes which are: investigate the world,

    communicate ideas, recognize perspectives, and take action. I represent these GPOs through

    everyday activites For example, in my 10th English class, we read about different types of

    governments in countries like North Korea, Cuba, the United States, Denmark, and Sweden, and

    we compare and contrast by reading articles, writing paragraphs, and sharing with our peers. I

    contribute to the community by participating in a program at a church in the USC campus called

    Peace Kids and Youth Leadership. In the program, the kids learn about different cultures and

    study issues related to justice and peace in the world, and the kids engage creatively with the

    concept of peace through music, art, games, writing and other fun activities, and are able to

    recieve tutoring by USC students. I am currently a youth intern and will become an assistant

    teacher in the program once I become 18.

    As an adult, I see myself becoming a better global citizen because I will be more mature

    than I am now and go to college with a large diversity of students and global standards. Studying

    abroad is something I would like to do as an adult. By studying abroad, studying and living in

    another country for a semester or two would be great to see what being in another country is like.

    Being a global citizen can mean many things, but the main things are being a team player,

    contributing to the community, and try to make the world a better place. I admit that I feel as if

    some of our students dont care about the world and are just forced to come to this school, but we
    should try to motivate them to participate in school events and activities so that ASGL has 100%

    of student commitment.
