As most of you know, I am a Journalism Major and would LOVE to attend the City University of London for International Journalism. With all my 3rd house/9th house/Gemini placements*, it's all too obvious that I was put on this earth to write/travel.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I should become also become a humanitarian, primarily for children. I LOVE children so much. I cannot possibly find the words to describe how painful it is for me to hear about children who are suffering from poverty, dying from diseases we can easily cure in america. Worse yet, there are children dying from diseases that people have never heard of and are not currently being researched on.

*What kills me the most is the lack of education.

It's like the very fibers of my soul are being ripped apart...

(ok.. i suppose I CAN find the words..)

Point is- I want to do this. Badly. I just need information or even stories of experience with this field. The latter is more necessary for me so I know if I'm in over my head or if this is a possibility for me.
