Author’s Note: The experiences, observations, and ideas in this essay are my own. I am not an accomplished writer, so out of respect for my audience, I used AI as an editorial tool to refine my thoughts and express as clearly and concisely as possible what I mean to say. The experiences behind these words, and the convictions that grew from them, are entirely my own.
