I think understanding the importance of organ donation is something that can change this world. I understand people's religious beliefs and other beliefs they may have but understanding how you can forever change someone's life is amazing. For the people who do not have any religious beliefs or other beliefs making it impossible to donate, become a donor today!

The benefits of donating your organs are unreal. Not only can you help medicine advance and cure even more diseases but you can potentially save someone's life, giving them a second chance at a healthy life again. Organ donation is becoming more and more popular. Over 90% of adults in America are donating their organs. One organ donor can save up to eight different lives. It only takes five minutes out of your day to register.

The view I have is after we are deceased we are going to rot in the ground anyways so why not use our organs for the common good. Why not be selfless and give the opportunity of life to someone who has been fighting for so long. There is no age limit on organ donation so if you are unsure you can wait and make the decision at a later date and time but I highly encourage you to become the missing piece to someone's puzzle. The number of children and adults that sit on the transplant list each year is insanely high. The more donors that the United States has, the better the chance the people on the donor list will be able to receive a matched organ.

I do understand the religious beliefs that have a conflict with this type of issue. I believe in God and have faith that this is an act of charity and love. You are selfless in a way that not everyone can because they are looking for the missing pieces to their puzzle. You have the opportunity to give someone else a shot at a life that they would never have had without your selflessness.


Go sign up to be an organ donor today, and you won't regret it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
