I knew this before I went to Minne Lusa but I had never seen poverty this bad before. Before it was more of just a general idea that I had from stories or experiences told to me. However, to actually be there, in the school, watching all these kids suffering was a whole other experience. It made me open my eyes and view poverty on a different level than I had viewed it before. Looking at these kids makes a person realize why change is needed in these schools. Kids are suffering everyday from starvation and that is not okay. Like stated before, Methodist has done a lot to help Minne Lusa but I feel like there is more that can be done. This experience contributed to the development of being a change agent in many ways. It made me realize that not all schools in Omaha are wealthy, and generally most of them do not have a lot of money. It always gave me a better view on how poor Omaha really is. It changed my whole view on poverty in Omaha. My goals are to be able to continue to grow as a change agent. Instead of just being able to pick out experiences that change my view, I also want to contribute more actions to be a better change agent. I want to be able to physically help others and not just say I want to help
