So what can stop this genocide? At one level the answer is technical:
sanctions against Sudan, a no-fly zone, a freeze of Sudanese
officials' assets, prosecution of the killers by the International
Criminal Court, a team effort by African and Arab countries to
pressure Sudan, and an international force of African troops with
financing and logistical support from the West.
But that's the narrow answer. What will really stop this genocide is
indignation. Senator Paul Simon, who died in 2003, said after the
Rwandan genocide, "If every member of the House and Senate had
received 100 letters from people back home saying we have to do
something about Rwanda, when the crisis was first developing, then I
think the response would have been different."

I just sent off the last of my application. I am now applying to City Year... which honestly I just don't want as bad. Is it wrong for me to apply to it? I don't want to just give up... but I feel like doing anything other than TFA is kind of like giving up... only I can't control it.
I am going to go look for more things to apply for... do you have suggestions?
ko bye

Is anyone having trouble viewing this? Maybe it's just Alden... but I can't view my blog from a library computer...weird. It says that the site is forbidden. Maybe it's because I spoke to poorly about them. That would be a little hilarious.
I wanted to see if there were any responses.... I guess I will look somewhere else.

So. I have something to confess. I applied for Teach For America and was rejected... not even an interview. Don't take this confession as an opportunity to talk to me about this, because honestly it's a very deep wound. I do feel, however, that I should admit the falling of my pride. I wanted that position really bad and I also thought I was kind of perfect for it. Alas, rejection is not defeat or failure. I am seeking other opportunities in the service area for next year... and I plan on applying for TFA again. I have already had many pep talks, so don't feel like you need to do that... I am, however, open for some encouragement.

I don't wear them but I wish that I did.
I don't know, that changes all of the time especially considering the different influences. People are my thing, that may be one of my definers.
