I'm reading the NY times, articles about women in Africa, the struggles they face for decent health care and political equality. So I am reminded once again about what I feel called to do, why I do it, why start here ( Read more... )

So I've been rolling a lot around in my mind over the past few days. Most importantly, my plans for after graduation, and the effects of whatever decision I might make.
