I plan on volunteering for RAINN when I get to college. The reason is because I have met a few people who have been raped both IRL and OL. This has lead me to activism. I hope on volunteering for the national sexual assault hotline ether online or on the phone. Ether one I can do. But you have to be trained to do this. I don't know if they train you or if you have to have a degree in something. I want to spread awareness and help people in need.... I have to admit, that whenever I'm done talking with someone who I know who has been a victim of sexual assault, and I was talking about the subject with her or him. I usually get mad or sad. Mostly, I become sad. Sometimes a few tears come out but it's not like bawling. Though there was this one exception. Anger just isn't in my nature.

If you want to talk to a professional: 1-800-656-HOPE

Speak out! You are not alone. Your voice will be heard.
