I Help Kids With Disabilities

3 Comments » April 10, 2006

I'm taking the lead by leading others. After a rough childhood I am finally reaching my older teenage years and i have realized that my life struggles can help others by giving them advice on the way to approach situations.

I was never someone that I thought others could look up to, but now I've realized that some do. In my home church here in Miami I have taken lead in helping a small group of teenagers. I have also taken on the lead by helping in the children's ministry and found my dream to help kids with mental and physical disabilties.

I have a passion for them and I really think that one day i will realize that more and more of them are going to be blessed with my help. I am a normal teenage guy in a big city and with a big heart for others.

Watuuup broo!
I wanna say I truly support what you do and I give you my utmost love and respect for doing ya thing! Everyone is equal and most beautiful, instead of taking from each other we must learn to give, and not let ourselves weaken and allow negativity to control us! I got love for everyone and want the best for everyone, all races and colors, because these different races are the beauties God has blessed us with! We couldn't be more gifted, but it is for us to chose if we want to live our lives to the fullest, and right now we are living in a catastrophe that should have never existed, and we must eradicate now! So remember, any life is just as priceless as you are, and not any inferior or superior, but together as one love we are the best under our almighty father the loving God!!!

Peace and Respect, 1 Love,
Gorilla
