yeah, yeah, i know.
it's been QUITE a while. i've just been intensely busy.
i finally got away from the rush of things to speak today(:
ok, so today, me and a group of people from my school went to the Helping Hands Mission, it was SO fun! a lot of times people hear that and go 'oh, that must've been a lot of grungy, boring work, but it wasnt. i mean, it kind of depends on your attitude, but i think it would've been really hard to find something bad in that kind of experience.
at the mission, we bagged clothes for people all over the world, well sort of. there weren't many clothes to bag, they were all already bagged and there were much more than a billion black trash bags full of clothes in a huge room, like the entire room was filled from the floor to the ceiling!
us kids started a sort of assembly line...a couple people would take a bag out, pass it down the line and the people at the end would put it in a shopping kart and the person rolling the kart would drive it outside to the waiting truck!
we had a blast and at the same time helped a bunch of people! in my opinion a lot of people don't help out enough. so many take and take and take from this world, that we forget to give back. while i may never know what it feels like to have nothing, many people have. and it flat out sucks. those people need more than a little money to get back on their feet. they need to know someone actually cares.
so i encourage you to give back in whatever for you find possible. not convienient!
when you help, keep in mind, it's not about you.
