Imagine you are hungry but the fridge is empty, the shops are closed, imagine you are thirsty but you don’t have any water.  One of the biggest problems associated with poverty is world hunger.  In just the last three years, the price of the world’s nutritional backbones (rice, wheat, corn)  have risen by about 84 per cent worldwide, making global food prices skyrocket to 30 year highs. Over 1/6 (about one and a half billion) of the world’s population are chronically hungry, some of which are just having the bare minimum to keep themselves from dropping dead. The world was created with... 

In an era that tells us to keep rushing – from the time we are children – to reach the next milestone of life, it’s hard to keep our priorities straight. Mix in an overload of media, internet, competition, and pop culture, and it becomes almost impossible to hear yourself think. In order to properly prioritize your life, you need to take a step back and reassess where you are investing your time and energy. Alongside this, in my opinion, it becomes quite beneficial (necessary, in fact) to keep yourself accountable for every single decision you make. It doesn’t matter how...

I am positive everyone of us have received that look from the opposite sex, or on the contrary, been looked right over.
