Let Me Decide A lawyer and feminist‚ Florynce Kennedy‚ once said “If men could get pregnant‚ abortion would be a sacrament”(“MIT Pro-Choice” 2). Florynce said this during a time when women had little to no control over their own body when the subject of abortion is at hand.

Volunteering has affected my life in many ways. It has changed my attitude on life‚ my goals for the future and I know I would not be here living in Malaysia for one year if I had never began to volunteer. In one of my favorite quotes his holiness the Dalai Lama states that “It is necessary to help others‚ not only in our prayers‚ but in our daily lives.
