On AIDS Day I thought that we had the right amount of awareness on when, what AIDS/HIV is. And we even addressed what we could do to help and how to do it. My reactions were static! First when I was on stage I was amazed how we had everyone’s full attention. But what really had me surprised was that people were so shocked and worried about they started to cry. And when I saw the video on the Larzarus Effect that almost made me cry. But finding out that we raised over 4,000 RM that made me soo happy. Our 4,000 RM could completely change someone’s life for 294 days. That’s almost a whole school year! And just by doing this on one day and just a little effort can make someone in this school want to change someone else’s life too.
My highlights of yesterday were when I went to go and buy a cupcake for AIDS Day. By the time I got there everything was bought and nothing left to buy. Which made me sad because I had no sweets to eat. But also happy because so many people bought food and gave money to AIDS. The thing I will remember about AIDS Day this year would be when I said my speech on stage at the assembly. I think that they should do something else than a soccer game. Like they could give out tickets and there will be lots of mini games all around the school. And every ticket is 2 RM and every game Is 1 ticket.
I learnt al lot more about AIDS Day and the most important ways to protect your self from not getting it. Also it made want to do something about it and change someone’s life! I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! :)
