Together

Not only would there be a light, in the shining of our history, but in that of our future.
There were people in our society long ago.
That yet failed to realize what they had done so.
With so much hurt and agony, that the power went to and fro.
With what we thought could mend.
Would only break in the end.
Our races used to determine our lives and chance.
But that meant our lives we could enhance.
Instead of crying and looking down.
You looked to the sky and had no frown.
Because we had our dignity.
We flashed prosperity.
Wishing for individuality.
A way to leave brutality.
So I ask you.
May this world work in two?
Forever in our hearts.
A way to change our lifes’ art.
To look beyond the stars.
And see our journey from afar.
Only then we will see.
A life filled with you and me.
My personal goals for this trip, are to be as helpful as possible. To know what I can do to build someone up. To put a smile on a face I will learn to love. I want to be able to out do myself, and do everything possible to make this an unforgettable experience. A way that I would encompass that would be to grow bonds with the children, adults and find a way to help them in a way that I know will be empowering, to them and to myself. The fear, I have for this trip is being afraid to try something, to help, or bringing myself down.
With my fundraising I have $2252, and I am still working on fundraising the last bits for my trip by babysitting and working at Batsons’ Corner in Eagle. I am also working on raising some spending money to bring back little ways to remind myself of my experience.
“Why do we close our eyes when we pray? When we cry? When we dream? Or when we kiss? Because we know that the most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by heart.”- Anonymous. This quote relates to my trip because I want to feel everything through my heart, and realize how beautiful every person is, not from what they look like, but what they make you feel.
