I have a bleeding heart for almost any cause in the world. Unfortunately I can not help out everything I would like to and my inability to choose a specific mission has lead me to be very wishy washy. I hope to buckle down and find a few causes I would really like to work for. Things most important to me are human rights, it does not matter if a person is not covered under the constitution, everyone is born with rights. Also I have helped out with habitat for humanity before and I LOVE working with that organization because i feel I am really helping because it is so hands on. Finally I took part in something like a socrates cafe and I hope to start one here at ISU where i attend school.
I have been an amnesty international leader, on the board for the relay for life for 5 years, helped hout with hippotherpay, helped stretch the limbs of kids and teenagers with cerebral paulsy, pained a house through habitat for humanity, helped a community organizer fight crime in rogers park, helped out at a non kill shelter, and sang at nursing homes. I am proud of these accomplishments.
My Philosophy
Don't judge other people even if they have made some bad decisions and don't deside what is best for other people.
What Gives Me Hope
I have seen first hand a family that was helped merely because I helped them paint their house. They were so appreciative. It was the first time i felt that I had actually helped someone because most of the work i do you don't really see the accomplishments you have made.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
not stick my nose in other people's business unless someone in need asked for my help.
What/who changed my life and why
kairos retreat because it shed a whole new light on other peoples lives and made me consider things about other i never had before. It helped me to be more openminded.
