SILS
Thinking about my student life as a member of the LGBT community, I did not feel much discrimination on me during those years. Maybe because I did not come out to many people around me even though I am suspended whether I am homo. But once I was rejected to become one of students in the best class in high school because one of the directors knew my sexual orientation and the director thought I would influence other top students, especially the director’ child, who was in the same grade.
When recall those moments, I am quite sad that time I did not try to argue the unfair or unreasonable thing as I usually did, but I firstly had to comfort my parents that I am not homo, lying to myself. Actually, I did not and do not have specific law or social atmosphere to reply on to protect my right for education. That young high school student knew that it might not be the best way to expose the thing to the public. Also, I was in fear and still am in fear.
Even right now, I do not know whether I could stand out or speak out for the LGBT community in public and fight for the rights of this community and whether I would suffer more and more because of my sexual orientation. However, I want to have a try, studying law, sociology and business, to explore the way to somehow change the world and guarantee the rights not only limited to homosexual marriage for LGBT community, a dream that seems so big to achieve.
At least, I do hope to become the hands for people, whether LGBT or vulnerable minorities, who are like I was back in the high school, needing help.
