So I spent my whole day watching videos on one of my favorite charity ever. Well except when I had to go to the drivers ed, but other than that all day. I really love how a voices from a youth can have such an impact, bacause of four guys deciding to trvael to Africa they learned the tragedies, and because of they're willing to help it has happened. This thing has so much impact and it has changed the lives of many. I remember when I first stumbled across it I cried. This is something of what I wrote that day, I believe it was last year.
So many thought are racing through my head. I've just finished a documentary called Invisible Children. I've heard of it once before, but I've never checked it out til now. I watched almost all the videos they had on their website and it touched me. I'm a teenager and like all teenagers I don't appreciate all the things I have, but now that I have an idea of how kids in other contries live I have learned in a small way to be thankful for the things I have. I mean all these kids can’t sleep at home for the fear of being taken by the rebel army and taken to be killed or put to kill others. All these kids want to do is live like a normal kid they see in the movies, they want an education, they want to go to school, and we sit here and hate every second of the education that is offer to us for free. Us here in America can’t see how good we have it and many people wished they could come here and live like we do. We are all in our safe homes whining about what we don’t have, about the problems we think are huge while others don’t have a thing to eat or any possessions. We don’t have to think of what we’re going to eat, if we’re going to survive or die, who will die, and no one around us are dying by the thousands, but yet these kids dance and laugh. I may not understand their pain, but I do know that somehow someway I want to get involved as well as other organizations such as To Write Love On Her Arms.
I have a new goal this summer and its to help with whatever I have, and in anyway I can. During the whole entire time I was watching this I wanted to jump up and just dash out the door to help. The feeling keeps bothering me right now. They say the war that has been going for years might end soon, and I really do hope it ends. I didn't get to go to any of the events they had. I really wished I had heard of them so I could've gone, but it's what happens when I don't check my mail for news.
