I was completely inspired by the Kony video we watched in class today. I was really moved by the determination in stopping the cruelty of Joseph Kony. I thought it was amazing how someone decided to make a promise of justice to an emotionally broken child that could be hard to fulfill, but did it anyway. Personally, I think that is an amazing thing to do because the road to fulfilling a promise could be difficult. However, this video has shown me that with the right motivation and dedication, anyone can make a difference.
The aspect that inspired me the most and had the greatest impact on me was seeing this group of people that are against Kony, refuse to give up their mission. Even when they approached an authority as great as those in the White House and were told that their cause was not important enough to support, they did not give up. This was a point in the video that put tears in my eyes because I could not understand how those in the White House did not have a heart to fight for these poor children that constantly live in fear.
The fear that these children in Uganda feel every day makes me realize that I am extremely lucky that I do not have to come face to face with this fear in my country, which makes me want to help stop this catastrophe also. I am not sure that simply hearing about this issue in Uganda would have made an impact on me; however, watching this video did. Now, I am inspired and ready to support this cause and make Kony famous.
