Passion

The little boy to the left is Diego, one of the boys we help out.

My heart is set up as a huge one that cares a  bit too much, I'm passionate in helping those in need. Last year while being in Peru, I noticed a whole lot of poverty where I'm grandfather grew up. This place is called Zuñega, it is a really small town that has probably a population of 300 people maybe less. This is my favorite place to go because everyone is so nice & kind. The children there bring tears to my eyes because with anything that I bring them, whether it may be clothes or toys they just feel the love and thoughtfulness I bring. If I had all the money in the world I would do anything to build them a home and give them all the clothes they need. In the U.S you don't see much of this poverty because there are shelters and homes where people can stay, but over there there isn't as much. 

I can connect my passion by becoming an elementary school teacher. By becoming a teacher I can gain a whole lot of knowledge and help those kids in need of an education, they will learn more than what they do. With being trilingual I can do so much and I would connect this to those kids I get the chance to teach. Working at the YMCA also helps me get a glance on what I could be dealing with. I have gained knowledge from them that will become very useful. Working there makes me apart of the kids growing, I have some impact on them. One goal I have set for myself is that When I have enough knowledge I WILL go to Peru to teach these kids the basic. Whether its a week or a month I will impact their life.

If I could pick a service to work for, I would not know which one I would pick only because each service has so much to give. Im willing to give everything but they may not want that. What I would do is build myself a foundation where it would be somewhat like DCF ( department of children and families). Help those families who are in need of a place to stay or a shower and of course some food. Now DCF has been cutting their slack and have not been helping as much. If building my own foundation doesn't work then I would find my way into DCF and bettering their service. Like I said there is so much one can actually do for these people in need and so little that people won't want to do. Poverty is no joke and seeing people be so careless is hurtful. That is why anything that is possible to help those in need is better than nothing. Always taking advantage of what is in front of you and never take what you have for granted.

Poem



A never ending gift
that will always be there for my own
to always give those a lift.

A dirty face with a bright smile,
how do we ignore such beauty
Its how they style.

Actions better used than words
hugs and laughs is all they need
what more is this worth.

Such a cruel world,
careless and rude
its like living in a whirled pool.

My happiness is helping,
seeing those pearl whites
is over powering.

A must and justice to the people 
Poverty is not at all a curse or to blame 
It is surely the system's failure in sharing.
