Today in religion class, I was lucky enough to be able to participate in a session with some people from The Mission. To be honest, I've never felt like I wanted to make a difference more than I did when I left that room today. The way they talked about how great it is to know that they're helping people really made me think about what I want to do with the rest of my life. I don't care about the money, because I know that doing something like that obviously wouldn't have a great income, but I'd rather know that I'm making a difference in someone's life. The people in the video we watched seemed so humbled and content to know that the people working at The Mission care about them. I want people to feel that way about me. I want to be remembered by at least one person for doing something that helped them. I don't want to sit in an office until I'm old enough to retire. I want to change the world!
I can't do that by myself, though, and that's why I think more people should go out and try to make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes all it takes is a smile or a simple hello to brighten someone's day, so why not break outside of that box and do more to help? That's what I want to do. I feel like it's what I'm meant to do, even though I know that I'm only 16 years old. I know who I want to be, and I know I'll get there someday. I hope that other people of my generation feel the same way. We can make a difference.
Every person deserves to be loved. End of story.
