Why was I born into a wealthy family?
Why am I strong and healthy?
Why do I have the opportunity to go to college?
Because I have a moral obligation to help others who do not have the same luxuries and benefits that I do. I have made more money in my short nineteen years of life than the average African or Cambodian family will make in three generations. We in America have more than what we need to survive and the people of third world countries do not. And it is all because of where we were born. This is an unfairness that I refuse to overlook and that is why I am going to dedicate my life and talents to the needs of impoverished people the world over.
We are one human race.

And, to close out this string of posts for today, I have an unfinished song that I'd like to share. I used to write piano songs and this one came out of a dark period I had a few months back. I never finished it, but it really helped me out. It's called Write Me A Letter. Happy reading and spread the word! Like always, I love to read your comments and suggestions.

Things haven’t been the same,
Since you walked into my life,
I want to be the guy,
Who lifts you up to the sky.
Seems like just yesterday,
I saw you standing there,
Your skin looked so soft and fair,
Bright colors were everywhere.
There are a million things I wanted to say,
On that cold December day,
But I guess I’ll just have to wait,
And let the chips fall where they may.
You don’t know how hard it is,
To leave someone as beautiful as you,
But if ever you get lonely,
Since you walked into my life,
I want to be the guy,
Who lifts you up to the sky.

You know just what to do.
Write me a letter,
Show me that you care.
Write me a letter,
You know I’ll always be there.

you remind me of well... me. this is exactly how i feel buddy. we have an obligation to educate and help others in this world. i know we can. we may not be able to change the world, but God knows we'll do all we can. i really hope you hold strong and close to these feelings you have, cause they are important. It's the pure love of christ. we can do it, and we can do it together. its no lost cause.
i see so much potential in you.
and we should turn that into a song together, eh?
