The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to attach the excerpt, doing some research we can say the following.

Justice is not an idea. It must be a reality.

When Martin Luther King Jr. received the Nobel Peace Prize. he delivered an emotional speech that reminded all the injustices he and the African Americans -other minorities as well- had to suffer in their civil rights fight.

I want to compare those ideas with something that has happened in my life.

I was not well-accepted in the athletic team in high school. Could it be my race, my ethnicity, my personality, whatever! The thing is that other colleagues spoke at my back. They did not inform me about important issues for the team. The coaches were not interested in me as an athlete or as a student. It was a difficult time.

Although it could be a minor case compared with what the African American people lived in the 1950s and 1960s in the southern states, that affected me.

Mr. King said the following in his speech:<em> "I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality."</em>

And those ideas really impacted my personal experience because I refused to be treated as a second class citizen.  His ideas gave me the strength to strive and be perseverant.

That is why I invite all students to never surrender. To be grateful for what they have and do not let anybody tell you otherwise. Every single human being is of so much value.

Poem:

Neglect by R. T. Smith

Summary:

The speaker in this poem seems to be filled with regret and sadness due to the fact that his apple tree he had neglected is now gone. It connects to a more general theme, such as loss. The fact that, we neglect to spend as much time as possible with the ones we love, and regret it in the ending when we realize it is too late. We tend to blame ourselves in every way, for it’s hard to deal with sudden tragedies. Looking at the apple tree as more of a metaphor, one can see that the speaker cannot help but find something precious to be lost. Continuously he even says “I should have” rather than facing acceptance. The reason the speaker’s idea can be expressed easily without having to actually state the loss of an apple tree as metaphorical, is that the poem is titled neglect. It is simply generalizing what others could feel the topic may express to them. The tone of voice complements the words perfectly, for it is emotional and the metaphors carry on the moral of the poem. The mood constantly makes you think that he is facing a hard battle, for it is depressing. “Is the scent of apple boughs smoking in the woodstove what I will remember of the Red Delicious I brought down, ashamed” This line presents regret and the burden that hangs over him for he had not cared for the tree enough, although he had loved it very much; much like the people in our lives. However, he does speak of everyone, “For any living being unloved, untended.” For in his mind he knows what it’s like to do such upon others. Overall what the speaker feels the reader feels, and the feeling is guilt and grief.

Don't forget to paraphrase!

Paraphrase means to put it into your own words.

Hope this helps!
