Reflecting on Haiti

Haiti. Well, when I heard about what happened in Haiti, I got really sad. I couldn’t believe that something so horrible could happen to a whole country! When I saw the images of people just lying on the streets, my heart dropped. I felt so bad and I just couldn’t hold my tears in. My mom looked at me and was just completely confused about what was wrong with me. All of this affected me because it’s something that could happen to anyone, and it could even happen to us anytime soon. I just put myself in their place and I know that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. I know that I wouldn’t be able to survive in that crisis and that if I lost my family in that terrible way, I would be devastated. Seeing the little kids crying and without parents was a very sad image, because I love my parents and I would be crushed if I ever lost either of them.
The whole situation also made me feel helpless because I knew that all I could was donate, but I wanted to help in a better way. I also know that all those people probably felt hopeless and think that they aren’t going to get through this. I was actually talking to some friends and one of them said that they didn’t really care about what was going on, and I was just shocked. I don’t know how someone could not feel bad and sad about this. I actually got mad when I heard her say that because it just makes me feel that they are cold hearted, and if something like this doesn’t make them want to help or at least feel bad, then I don’t know what can.
I would like everyone to try to help Haiti out. I’m sure that if this were to happen to any of us, we would want people to try to help us out also.

Dear Mirabunet: Thanks for your heartfelt post. It is young people like yourself in this world who have compassion and caring that will hopefully become our next generation of leaders. We hope that you will take this terrible disaster in Haiti and decide to become more involved in developing a leadership role so as you grow older, you can take a more decisive stand and create opportunities to help others less fortunate. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all.
