Geography hits home

This semester, I am taking the World-Regional Geography, just because I have to, that’s all. Well little did I know the informative impact that this course would have on me. I thought it would be just a bunch of boring mess that would be faithful in putting me to sleep when I had to study it. WRONG! I am becoming to enjoy this course and the interesting things that I am learning from it. On the contrary, so of the stuff that I learning about like Africa and places like that is really sad. I have always wanted to go to Africa for a mission trip or something similar, and this has just refreshed that desire. Most of the countries in Africa are in such terrible conditions that they makes more than they spend and they are still in debt. It makes me really sad to think of all the little orphans who are plagued with HIV/AIDS and have lost their family to this terrible pandemic. It’s hard to conceive the conditions that these people live in and it seems like a totally different imaginary world, but it really isn’t, sadly. Studying about Africa makes me really grateful and reminds me of how blessed I am. It makes me want to change the world and find a cure for all of these devastating diseases and end world hunger.
