How can life change so drastically from one moment to another? That is what I asked myself as I watched and read about the the horrible earthquake that recently occurred in Haiti. These people barely had anything before the disaster and are now left in an even more grave situation that they cannot change. They are desperate for aid, and are relying on the rest of the world to make a little change in their lives so that they can move forward as a country. What a huge impact this has had on many people across the world. It really goes to show that even though we may be in different countries we need to pull together in times of need. In order to change what has occurred everyone needs to stand together, and by doing so we can save lives and families. I don't think that the earthquake was a good thing, but i think that their are many lessons being learned from this experience. As Valentines Day nears the world has opened their hearts more than ever. To love someone you know and serve them is one thing, but to open your heart to a stranger, and give what you have to them, is probably one of the most sincere acts one can give. It is pure love and that is the best gift we can give these people. The disaster hurt many people but it also has given others the opportunity to reflect on their own lives and what they feel is important. Sometimes the best lessons are learned through adversity and helping others get through it. I have seen my small donations add up along with others, and I know that these acts of selflessness will make a difference for the people of Haiti. To the people in Haiti i would say, keep holding on and know that their are many people who are trying to help bear this burden with you. Know that their is hope you can and will get through this, because people all over the world and standing together to make this possible.
