In honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the founder of CARP, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, CARP hosted a writing contest for students to submit what inspires them about Father Moon’s legacy. Here is the third place entry:

I, too, am inspired to dedicate my youth to peace because Rev. Moon’s path to peace also began after his commitment at a young age. In Rev. Moon’s life, he dedicated much of his time in raising young people. I feel a personal mission to continue his legacy by becoming a university professor to help empower young people to become peace loving global citizens.
