It's youth and it's joy



This is the image by pencil of promise, http://www.pencilsofpromise.org and their project to help children in Laos. The first time I saw this image, it taking me back to the moment when I was in college. During my college, I sought to experience as wide a variety of experiences as I could. I had the opportunities to visit many regions of Laos and it was the most enthusiastic experience I ever had. I did not have many picture of my memory in Laos but this image became my memoir of a time that stimulated my feeling more than any other, a memory passed but not faded. To me this image involves me to feel the action, smell the air, hear the sounds of children, and feel the interactive moments that could not describe in words. Additionally, it reminds me about my youth, bringing me back to the time when I am ready to embrace on the new journey and ready to grow up. I believe that simple image can make a huge impact and tell many stories, there is nothing like being there and experiencing the real feeling by just look at the image.
