Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.
theres so much i wish i could change
the list could go on forever
i immediately think of changing the world:
inequality
racism
sexism
poverty
homelessness
addiction
abuse
abandonment
i'd also like to change:
cultural imperialism
white power and privilege
i'd change the world so that everyone had the same opportunities, had the power over themselves and everyone could prosper how they wish.
so much i'd change
one of my goals in life (that i haven't told a lot of people) is to one day have my own organization that helps under privileged children play sports. i believe strongly that in broken homes, children need a way out and sports and organized activities with children their own age is an excellent way out. they get to be a kid for that time, get to forget about their situation at home and interact with other children. it is important for general socialization and for allowing kids to be kids. often, it is hard to be kids in a situation with divorce, poverty and abuse, either physical or drug and alcohol. kids are forced to grow up and deal with issues no child should. in supporting the children play sports, it would alleviate their parents from paying for sports and would allow them to use their funding for food and shelter. i watched my own mother struggle to give us a normal childhood and i can't imagine other kids going through what i did. every kid needs a way out and they always don't have access to it.
