Personal Reflection




I reason why i chose to talk about this subject because i really am tryin to wake up our young black women because this is happening to us.It is also bring down our community and its hurting the future of our kids.As a child i always hated seeing people sick.
I first wanted to learn more about this subject when my brother in law friend died of aids.He looked like he was a healthy young man jus living his life to the fullist and when i found out he had aids i was man that stuff is deadly out here in these streets and he was always smiling and so when my brother in law told me he had aids it was really shocking because i wonder how can u live your life knowing that u have a diease and your time on earth is gettin cut short because of a diease.
I jus want to let everybody know that no matter how young or old you are u can still catch a diease.Also that it hasnt stop or went in where in fact this is getting worse and the more people that is aware about the situition the more people i would help out before its too late.
Unfortunately, women also are more at risk of getting STDs than men and young women are at even greater risk. The more educated our children and teens are about the facts about sexually transmitted diseases, the better the chance is that if they do decide to have sex they will know how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases and infections, as well as HIV the virus that causes AIDS, and unplanned pregnancy.I just really want people to be aware of whats going on in the world and use protection.In todays world its dangerous.http://www.cdc.gov/STD/

  1. Shanise,

    One of your strengths as a writer is your strong sense of justice. This is a topic that makes people uncomfortable, but the logic of your writing breaks it down in an easy to understand way.

    Also: "I" is always capitalized and there should be a space after every period. :)
