Speaks Out First

I have recently discovered my love for life can be gone at a blink of an eye. For over two years I have volunteered with my Grandmother, preparing food and feeding the homeless on Sunday mornings.

A particular frightening thought occurred to me while serving the people, how gentle, kind and hungry, they are amazing. From what I learned in school, the USA is the richest country in the world. How could life be so cruel tossing them a life of homelessness? When I look in their eyes, I see no hope.

I wonder, when they were my age, did they think life would throw such a low blow. If only they had listen to there elders, or even had steady parental influence in their life, teaching them the consequences of ‘acting out’ like my grandmother would say.

The opportunity that my mother allows me proves that I am capable of many great things in life, if I continue to face life’s challenges with positive thoughts and God always with me.

The privilege of volunteering and getting my friends to share in this project making a little difference at a time. I believe all teenagers should be involved in helping make the planet better. Giving is the right thing to do. If you or your friends want to join us go on-line fill out the membership application,click on our upcoming mission page, make your plans send us a e-mail.

Medical Wings International’s on going local community programs are rewarding, feeding the homeless is an excellent way to learn that, when you make bad life decisions, in a blink of an eye this could be any of us.
