Empathy: Greatest Curse, Greatest Blessing

Tagged:  •    •  

The little girl knew she was different. Something would happen, and her friends would be of mixed feelings, forming different opinions. She would be left alone in the neutral plane, understanding each individual's stance perfectly, but perpetually unable to choose a side. She had no opinion, and could not explain why.

Teaching The Next Generation

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

Last night as I was writing my very first blog on this website, my mom appeared. She had been at our old house, finishing up the cleaning, and she got home at about 10:30 PM. When she came in she told me that she was worried- she has driven past a small park about a block down the road and seen a small girl sitting there in the dark alone, head down.

Have you ever volunteered abroad (or in your own country) and wondered what would happen once you left? Would your message become lost with time? Would the people whose lives you saw change go back to how they once were?

Can one person make a difference?

A young woman dying of AIDS lay in the bed before me. Staring at her frail, disease-stricken body, the words of a family friend echoed in my head, "Why is Kellie going to Africa? Does she really think that one person can make a difference?"

Do it anyway.

What is that nagging feeling I get when taxi drivers are rude to me, when someone tries to cheat me at the market or when my students don't pay attention to my lesson? Is it anger? No, I don't really get upset. Is it frustration? Maybe, it sure gets me all knotted up sometimes. I want to just "turn the other cheek," but this feeling holds me back.

Who knew giving rice could help you?

I like living in the twenty-first century; however, I cannot deny the fact that it has its imperfections, world hunger being a major one. According to the United Nations, about 25,000 people die every day from starvation or hunger-related causes. That means another person dies every three and a half seconds from these causes.

We Can All Be Someone's Guardian Angel

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Something's been on my mind today. This something is a matter of the heart. It's part happiness and part confusion. It also has a little something to do with dependence and insecurities. And it may hide the key to making the world a better place. It involves someone I met online back in January, myself, and the miracle God has presented me with.
