Day 4: So, I took an adorable picture of Emma and I that I was going to put on here. But I decided years from now I don't want to think back to this day and remember the test Emma and I were stressing over while the picture was being taken. I want to remember what truly happened, what I truly felt. Today, Japan was hit by a 26-foot tsunami, along with a 8.9 earthquake followed by 19 aftershocks. I was sitting on the bus and my phone was blowing up with people's tweets saying pray for Japan. I looked up, overly confused, and said "What happened to Japan?" Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, no one seemed to know what I was talking about. So I googled it. It blows my mind to think while I was sleeping, being self-centered about my birthday dinner, and stressing out over nothing..people were hurting. People were dying, people were losing everything that had; everyone they loved. Then I noticed at school no one really cared about the people in Japan, they didn't know anyone there; they had no reason to care. Today I truly learned how selfish humans are, I don't want to be just another self-centered person in the world. I won't forget about what happened to the people in Japan, I hope no one does. But I'm going to be different from every other kid at my school, I want to make a difference. I want to find a way to help, now I'm off to brainstorm! four days down, 361 to go!
