KONY 2012
When I first head about Kony 2012, I was in my room refreshing my twitter and wondering.... WTF is a kony? yes, that's right... WTF *is* a Kony.. I did not even look into what this was until I saw about 12 tweets about it. Finally, I googled it and watched a video my friend had posted on facebook. The same video you showed us in class, I was super touched when I saw it. It really made me think about a lot of things. Made me feel selfish but at the same time it also made me feel really greatful and thankful for living the life I live. I wake up every morning to what seems like pure bliss in comparison to what these poor children are waking up to. One thing I really liked about this video is that it realy made me cherish the fortune in my life. I have a solid family, a great group of friends and lots of love in my life. I will never be forced to be a child soldier and quite honestly.. I am very comforted by that thought. I also liked how this video brought up the completely foreign idea of making Joseph Kony famous. I admit, I don't think I really like that particular word, but I enjoy they used a different technique to go about this and took that risk. One thing I think I myself can for sure do is get an action kit. I think that any little bit I can give back will help and I would like to think that I can help and make a difference, or be an impact to a better change. I can only hope others will do the same and contribute to this great cause of helping the Invisible children. I think another way I can help is spreading the vision. I can tweet about it and add clips and what not on facebook. Clicking one button goes a long way to help.
