        Lady Gaga is a well-known American singer-songwriter. In 2012, she set up her Born this Way Foundation (BTWF) at Harvard University. Named after one of Lady Gaga’s songs, BTWF is a non-profit organization aimed at empowering kids and creating a friendlier and safer environment in and out of schools.
       There are two major reasons why Lady Gaga wants to start such an organization. One is about her personal experience. When Lady Gaga was in high school, she was often bullied by her schoolmates. She was once thrown into a trash can, and some of her classmates always called her horrible names. Cynthia, Lady Gaga’s mother and also the president of BTWF, still remembers clearly how her daughter was treated in school. Her daughter was so hurt and embarrassed that she didn’t want to go to school anymore.
        The other reason why Lady Gaga started BTWF is that since she has a lot of influence on young people, she wants to do everything she can to fight against social injustice. She hopes to make a difference and encourage young people to change the world.
