Final Question

Overall learning about Sudan has had a huge impact on my life. The stories i have read, the pictures i have seen and the videos i have watched have changed my life immensely. Before we started school i had no idea at all that this was going on in Darfur. I have not even heard of this conflict in my entire time here at Shattuck. It really makes me think about how lucky i am to live in a country where i have a house to live in, a school to go to, food to eat and all the opportunities that i have. It sucks to know that kids over in Sudan are dying because they are starving, they have no education and don't have a house to live in. They have to see people die at such young ages and so many of them see their family die when they are too young to even to take care of themselves. Many have to take on so much responsibility at such a young age that it probably becomes to overwhelming for a lot of them to handle and its truly sad to think about. I really look at life a lot different now that i can see how lucky i am to be in such good health. Instead of complaining how bad the lunch is tomorrow i will actually appreciate it because i know that millions of Sudanese people would do anything to be in my position. It makes you live life to the fullest because you only have one life and you don't want to spend you life complaining because one of the Sudanese people would do anything to live the life you live.
