Dropping Everything.
Maybe I should just drop what I'm doing and go work for peace in Zimbabwe. or Columbia. or Burundi. or Afghanistan. Why?
Because it's the right thing to do. And because I am completely free to do so-- I am not tied down to anything... except possibly my family and schooling. But you see, there's so much hatred and pain in the world. and I am affected by so little of it... it isn't fair. Maybe I should just say screw the self-plan. and leap into an unknown selfless journey.
I wonder if that's even possible...

It is possible, Mikayla, though difficult. My advice, find a short-term opportunity (summer only) and go for it. So what if you lose some summer pay that would have been earned. You will have fulfilled a goal with immense intrinsic value. There is always trouble in the world that is not fair, but how you approach and assist in your own special way is what counts.
