Going Somewhere In Life

I guess the thing that has been on my mind most of the time as of lately is charity and change in this world. We had Can-A-Thon at our school and I literally spent over $40 to buy stuff such as cake mixes and stuff to raise money. I made over 150 cupcakes, muffins, and brownies to sell. I personally raised over $100 for the Can-A-Thon. I know I lost a lot of sleep and money because of all it, but it's worth it in the end. Good karma, right? That's what kinda concerns me though. Karma. I'm doing a lot of good things and I hope good karma will hopefully repay me back in the future. Last night, we had a little competition at my work to see who could get the most donations for the Ronald McDonald House Charity. I got the most donations of over $30 and I won $5. Wooh wooh! Hahaha. But I realized that charity is really my thing.

Giving back to others and trying to make a difference in this world. There are a lot of less fortunate people in this world and many people are suffering everyday. I like to think that even $1 can go far. Whether it be giving someone a home, something to eat or drink, or even clothes on their back. I wish to start my own charity somehow. I don't know how, but it will happen. I'm so concerned about making a difference that I think it's possible. "The crazy ones that say they are gonna change the world are the ones that actually do."

I feel at this point in life, someone as young as I am, can really make a difference. As I was watching tv today, I kinda felt envious that I'm not famous. Well I mean, who doesn't want to be famous? But I want to be famous for the right reasons. I want to be a model for others. I want to inspire others. A friend was giving me a complement the other day saying on how I was such a good person and all, but that was really weird to me and I didn't really know how to react. I don't expect this from others. I'm just doing me. Everything I do is for a reason and I really do go out of my way to do things for others, even complete strangers. I just don't expect to be noticed for my actions and words. I mean it's great to be appreciated for that, it's just something that never crosses my mind.

One day though, I will have left behind so many words and memories that I hope people can carry on with them. I'll be somewhere in this world and whether people will remember or forget me, I did my part by leaving something to be remembered by. You make the best of everything you can. I don't know what will happen to me or what exactly my plans are, but I know for sure that I'll be out there changing the world. Even by myself...

One person is all that it takes.
