About kschencker

My name is Kaileigh, and I'm 16 years old. I'm very happy to be Canadian, and I'm proud of my igloo. I frequently feel very frustrated by the knowledge that there is enough water, food, and money for everyone in the world to live comfortably, yet so many people live in poverty. I hate to admit it, but the glaring truth is:
I'm not fat, but I wish I were thinner;
I'm not short, but I wish I were taller;
My hair's not thin, but I wish it were thicker;
I'm not weak, but I wish I were stronger.



I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
— Leo Tolstoy
