Seeing people suffer and going through a difficult time, ignites me to make a change. Many people do not have the necessities I have everyday, such as food, water, and shelter. Sometimes I take these things for granted and do not realize how fortunate I am to have them. Whenever I get the chance, I like to give back to people in need. Being able to help and aid those in need makes me feel good inside.

When I heard that the Philippines was in a typhoon attack, my heart went out to the families that were affected. In this horrific event, many were killed and some not found. I think this was a terrible occurrence and people all around the world should help the people of Haiyan.
