How many orphanages do you think there are in the world?
I'm thinking more than we can count.
let's say there are 4,000 and each orphanage has at least 30 kids.
that makes a minimum of 120,000 orphans.
it costs atleast 10,000 dollars a year for an orphanage to support one child.
What about an orphanage that doesn't get any donations?
What does that mean for the children?
No toys.
Little food.
No medical attention when necessary.
Poor education.
Short life.



Why was I blessed with so much in my life? Yes, my parents worked hard. But for some reason I live in a million dollar house while people live in houses the size of my bedroom. Why? Even if I donate money or time or toys or clothes, my life is still completely different than theirs. Never having to wonder when my next meal is or if I'll have clothes to wear. It's not fair. Why don't people realize how blessed they are? Why don't people understand that some people don't eat while we eat feasts? Why do I sleep in a bed while others sleep on a floor? Life's not fair. Things need to change.

Analyze.

Love is supposed to be a life changing event. It changes morals, mindset, and dreams. It flips your world upside down, but when does a person decide they've fallen in love? Is it when they begin to center their life around one person? It can't be that...some people never center their lives around the person they "love"...does that mean they aren't in love? What about people who start dating when they're around the age of 12...when are those two individuals "in love"?
Have you ever questioned your love for someone? You can live your life and go through the motions every day without analyzing your relationship, but one day you do it. You analyze it. You discover you're heart is hurting and your mind is confused. Every memory of that person comes flooding back to your mind and you can't help but break down. Sorting through the memories and remembering the significance of this person in your life determines the fate of your relationship. And this time the fate of your relationship is safe...but maybe it's only this time.

Why do people become vulnerable? What makes some individuals stronger than others? Is it because of the different obstacles that God places in front of them? Does that make an individual stronger? Or is that a myth...does it really make them weaker? Does love make you weak? Does absence really make the heart grow fonder? Because it seems like that's a bunch of nonsense. Why do people fall in love in the first place? What's the point?

And one question is followed by another...with no answers. 

Wander.

My name's Prina and I'm a freshman English major at Texas A&M. I plan on going to pre-dental but we'll see where that plan takes me. I love meeting new people and later thinking about how they have changed my life. My friends and I sometimes have intense, serious talks while other conversations are silly and irrelevant. With both cases, many curious questions are asked. Several times I wonder why I am in a certain location. What is the reason for my presence? Is it to impact my life or another person's life? Although many questions can be answered with a vague answer such as, "It's God's will...", in my mind, that answer doesn't suffice...I like to think deeper than that.
