What is happening in Haiti and Nicaragua is extremely sad and devastating. Looking at those pictures encouraged me to help. But why isn't anyone "important" doing anything. Why isn't our country there, we try to be the big shots and still don't do anything. If it takes years for us to restore our own land from hurricane damage, we will probably be able to offer aid to foreign lands by the time my children reach puberty. 

When I went to the Dominican Republic, the first thing that was said to me when I walked out the airport was: " Can I was your shoes?", by a little boy, at first I was shocked, by the pictures of my hotel, I expected the DR to be a very luxurious place. When I went for a tour of the island I became amazed of how different my hotel was to the native homes.

I am going to make a difference. I signed up with FIU to be apart of Alternative Break, which basically is, instead of going to Cancun for spring break, I'll be helping people who need my help anywhere in the world.
