Today was school supply shopping day. I have always enjoyed picking out new things, but today it didn't feel right. Being in a gigantic Walmart complex with a Blimpie, hair place, optomitrist, and so much more, I felt so spoiled. Children in Africa are lucky if they can get any bit of education, yet I get that and all these amazing supplies to go with it. I get three packs of looseleaf, yet they're lucky to find a piece of paper.
I felt guilty buying all of these things. Knowing that my own little sister doesn't have anything to call her own is even worse. But I know that once she gets home we can make her feel like she belongs somewhere.
