"What motivates me" excerpt from essay for internship

What motivates me? I have many motivations. My motivation are my smaller siblings. I want to help engage my generation, and push it towards such a disruption in the unfair systematic oppression that is our government, that the only option is to completely change our country. I am a leftist - and the socio-economic issues of Latin American heartedly concern me, but I also recognize the poor distribution of wealth, and inequality in the United States and around my neighborhood.  The World Can't Wait mission is just like mine regardless of wording " change the world". I want to change the world, but every step I take I want to alter that step and make it comfortable enough for anyone walking behind me to step forward and better themselves. Change, Change, Change is a word I commonly hear, but seldom put into action.  Every political movement and revolution started with a person contemplating change. Nowadays, I read textbooks about politics and feed my mind a wealth of ideas, but how does this even help? Like I stated before, every revolution is the product of an idea, and I feel that the World Can't Wait mission is a mission that suitably coincides with my ideas - ideas the world can't wait for.
