More Than Me

When I first heard of this organization, I knew I wanted to be apart of it. I wanted to do anything I could to get little girls off the streets, out of prostitution and get them into school.

"Children are the future"

"Stay in school kids"

"Education is the key to a future"

I remember hearing those three sayings since I was a little kid. My parents, immigrants from Korea always told me the main reason why they moved to America was to give my brother and I more opportunities than they ever had - meaning education. They sacrificed their culture, their home - essentially everything they knew and loved.. for me.

When I think about how much my parents have been through, the hard ass work they do - working dead end jobs to get my brother to school, to get me through school is because of their love for us. They would do anything it takes for us to get our education.

My parents understand how important education is.

I understand how important education is.

Do you understand how important education is?

Then why aren't we doing everything we can to get these girls in Liberia off the streets, and into schools? Why aren't we doing everything to stop the abuse of little girls and let them proudly walk through school doors?

Are they not the future?

More Than Me is about living for something bigger than yourself, each and everyday.

This is truly a beautiful statement. What is life without touching other hearts? I want to help as many as I can while I walk this earth.
