I am a junior in high school. I like to be a very vocal person, and I love to talk. If I feel that something is right, then I will stand by it, and if I feel that something's wrong, then I will speak, and act out against it. Once I've decided on something, I don't hesitate and just go through with it.

This is my own people. I may not have been born back there, but they are still a part of me. Being Tamil runs in my veins, and I hate to see and hear about my people struggling to survive. I want to do something about it, but I don't live there, so I can't directly help them out, so I will do so by whatever other means I can find.

I would like my representatives to take action, take a stand against the genocide. The situation's getting worse and worse, and more innocent people are dying every day, meanwhile the world acts as bystanders. I think that if America takes a stand against genocide and the atrocities committed by the Sri Lankan government against the innocent Tamil civilians, then other countries will too.
