My journey at the University of Houston really has just begun. Last week we had the Carneval of Cultures showing so many different aspects of so many different cultures. I was truly amazed by what I never knew about everyone else. Of course 25 different cultures foods mixing together didn't smell too good. But I started noticing since then the diversity of organizations and clubs around campus. LGBT, Invisible Children, Vision School, etc. I am not a lesbian or bi sexual but I am for equal rights and signed a petition for faculty to receive the same benefits as straight faculty, which I thought was awesome for students to do.
Lately, and most of you may have noticed, Joseph Kony is becoming very famous. For those of you who do not know who Joseph Kony is, YouTube "Kony 2012" and the first result is what you should watch, have 30 minutes to spare to watch it though. This campaign to save children from Uganda and many different countries is Africa. Joseph Kony is destroying families and countries. The only way to take him down is to make him famous and that is exactly what the goal of one man is. Let's help Africa and take this man down.

Get involved in campus organizations if you aren't already. It's a great way to meet new people, add to your resume, networking and possibly some extra credit for your classes.
Always and Forever,
Marina
