Answer 7

Hearts for Haiti
Jenny Roncalli

Unlike my first two years in high school, this year I decided to surrender 1to my parents pleas to get involved in school activities. 2Not really expecting to win, I ran a halfhearted campaign: even so, as ‘luck’ would have it, I won the election. I was the new junior class representative. 3 First semester was filled with breakfast meetings. Pep rallies too.

Every January our high school chose one school-wide fundraiser. 4Representatives from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes held a meeting in the gymnasium. They wanted to accommodate the students who were eager for a chance to 5cheer for there favorite charities. A pep rally was approved and each class began decorating their hall and raising money. 6Because each class wanted its charity to be selected, it was a friendly competition.

I recall that day clearly; January 19, 2010. From center court, I took a panoramic look 7into the gym. 8 Quickly spotted my juniors, I nodded approvingly at the signs they held. I had helped to make those signs. Just a few months earlier I would have laughed at 9that image of me; sprawled out on the hall floor with yards of bulletin paper and poster paints surrounding me. You can believe that no one expected 10me to be making no posters.

Even though most of us had heard of this tragedy, 12they knew few details. Mirlande described how the earthquake decimated the capital city of Port-au-Prince, killing thousands of people. The video of survivors was hard to watch. The faces of despair and desperation were overwhelming. A few of us knew that Mirlande had relatives in Haiti. 13Finally senior representative Mirlande Danda stepped forward to speak.

14 Mirlande is tall and has long brown hair. She urged us to help with relief efforts. She did not have a poster. She did have a simple plan. Mirlande asked each of us to raise ten dollars by making and selling little hearts, big hearts, and sticker hearts. Her passion and the stark reality of disaster touched the hearts of 843 students. We voted to make Hait
