Gargi Singh is a student at Round Rock High School. She won third place in the State Bar of Texas’ Law Day 2025 Photography Contest with her submission, “The Track to Unity and Justice.”
Although there is no specific requirement for an explanation of the picture, I feel it is important to share the meaning behind it to understand the symbolism captured in my photograph.
A racetrack is a powerful symbol of the rule of law. It provides structure, direction, and fairness for all who run on it. Just like the lanes on the track, laws create clear paths that guide us forward, ensuring that everyone, no matter where they start, has an equal opportunity to reach their goals.
As a student, I see this every day.
On the track, the runners may be in different lanes, but they all follow the same rules and strive toward the same finish line. Similarly, citizens of our country move forward together under the rule of law.
Without these guiding lines, there would be chaos. Our Constitution provides the track toward achieving order, fairness, and a shared sense of purpose. Just as the track unites athletes in competition, the rule of law unites us as a nation, ensuring that no matter our differences, we all have the opportunity to run toward a better future together.
