reflection
I can't wait to travel to mars, but i'm also a bit sad and surprised too. I can't believe the percentages of people who can't access or afford essentials like food, air, water, shelter, school, money, and proper health care. I hate seeing so many people like I will try and do the most I can to help people. For example I can help out more often at the soup kitchen, donate money to some charities, and much much more. I can't even imagine what it would be like if in that village of 100 people, in 100 years the population tripled from 32 to 100!
