Question

【题目】 When I was 11 years old, I traveled to Peru. I went on more than just a vacation. I was visiting my native country.

I was born in Peru, but I was adopted (领养) by an American family and grew up in the United States.

While in Peru, I wanted to know what my life could have been like if I had not been adopted. I visited several orphanages (孤儿院), including one in the hills of Cuzco, near my birthplace.

The orphanage was really cold and dry there. The paint on the wall was falling off, and the girls were in poor health.

When I returned home, I couldn’t get the girls out of my mind, and I really wanted to do something because I could have been one of those girls in that orphanage.

I decided to start a group called Peruvian Hearts to help them. My goal was to provide orphans in Peru with education, clothing and food. In the first two years, Peruvian Hearts raised about $15,000 for the orphanage. It also bought a chicken coop (鸡舍) so that the girls could eat fresh eggs.

My efforts have been noticed. I won a prize, which is given to kids and teens that make a difference. From this experience, I learn that as long as we believe in ourselves, and follow our heart, we can make a difference, and make the world a better place.
