One Day Without Shoes

Today is the Toms sponsored day without shoes. Toms is an organization that makes shoes, and whenever someone buys a pair of toms, they are also paying for a second pair that is sent overseas to a child that does not have any shoes. To raise awareness, many people all over the country are not wearing shoes today. As the last day to write a blog post, I thought this would be a wonderful way to end, and take a look at something that people are doing to really make a difference. This whole organization started when one man decided he needed to do something for children without shoes. I personally own probably more than 30 pairs of shoes, and yet there are so many people that don't even own one pair.

So, to close out my blog, I have really enjoyed enacting a personal change in my daily life, and the fact that I chose several small things really opened me up to being able to slowly add more things. So, even though I started with just reusable bags, a water bottle, and less eating out, I have now expanded to much more than that, and have also expanded my awareness to many other things. If I wasn't looking for ways to make a change, I don't know if I would have learned about today's day without shoes. And so I look forward to all the new changes I can learn about in the future. What a successful semester project!
