aids

There are so many kids and adults out there that that have lost family and friends to AIDS or that are personally affected by the disease. It is truly so sad how many little children are left to fend for themselves in this crazy world, with dead parents. Most of the kids have no idea that they as well could be affected with the disease (Drotman).

I love little kids. That is a main thing that added interest into this topic. I want to help make a change in the world. An inspiring quote is “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”-Gandhi. I wish that I can someday make an impact like him on the world. I plan to do so by getting involved with the disease and doing research, hopefully even working with UNICEF in Latin America or Spain areas (White). This topic has brought up so many questions, like is there a cure, how many people are affected, and will it become an epidemic. It is my goal to search for the answers to all these problems, and maybe even come up with answers of my own. I think that volunteering brings a new light and hope to the world, also a new understanding for those who take part in the unique experience.

Many people who take part in opportunities like this speak about how they have more enriched lives and are able to comprehend the more complicated things in life. I personally seek out an unique opportunity like this because I want to be able to understand how the other half feels, and lives their day to day life. I realize I have been so lucky with many things in life, and because of that I want to give to other people the same feeling. Researching the topic of children afflicted with aids has and will continue to humble me, and affect my daily attitude. I hope I can on my way, involve as many other people as possible. I want to make a difference.
