The article I read was about children be sold by their own parents into slavery for little as $180. The reason they do this is because of proverty. They are so poor (they live in ghana) that they sale their own children. This needs to be put to a stop.Many people are against it and I am to. Why does the government allow this happen? Most of the children being sold are btween the ages of 3-14 and they are mostly boys. I think this is ridiculous, but how can we change this?

Immigration doesn' really effect me because from what I know all of my family members that I know personally are all usa citizens. Immigration does effect my ancestors though cause they were brought over from africa into the usa. But im not even sure because I dont really know my history and where I really come from.

I think the stop the violence march is positive and helpful, we should do things like this more often in Philadelphia. I am pleased with how many marches Philadelphia's radio stations have been doing this year. It is a good thing that our school is getting involved in this event. People need to hear our voices about the violence and just put it to an end. There should be more enforced laws about violence. Our city is to small for all of this violence.

Nina only had one idea that I was interested in and that was volunteering at an orphanage.
When I read Nina's story it made me think about helping children who really need a shoulder to lean on.One of the idea's her story gave me was to start helping out children. It even made me think of telling my friends about her story so they can get involved.
I chose Nina's story because she wrote about helping children.Not just any children but children who have lost important people in their life. Every child needs someone to be by their side.
Nina's also made me realize how blessed I'am to have my mom and supporters by my side.
