Invisible Children Reflection

After having a long conversation with David, the child soldier from Uganda, he told me, "God loves you and I love you." It caught me really off guard and I didn't know how to respond at the time. The whole presentation about the child soldiers made me cry, literally.  It's always been a passion for me to be someone in life, to be able to help those in need. Coming from a strong Christian background, I do believe that God put me here on this Earth for a reason; His reason is for me to do good in His name. You don't have to be religious to help other people in the world, but I feel like if you do have a strong religious view, it makes the whole experience a lot more powerful. Going on the road to help spread the word about the dilemma in Uganda is important, and as much as I support the cause, this method isn't the way that I feel is suitable for me. For me, I would want to use my knowledge to help people. Joining UNICEF or the Peace Corps would be my dream job. For some, it might not sound so appealing, but to be in the backbone of changing the world, I would do anything that I could.
