ORIGAMI!!!

I've always had a fascination for origami. It completely gets me obsessed. I find it very interesting. With tiny bits of paper you get to create something artistic and cool. This year, when Japan was struck by the terrible earthquake  and tsunami, I felt helpless. Japan is a country that I respect, admire and love. They have done so much for the world and especially my country. I wanted to do something to help raise money. I heard about the story of Sadako, the girl who had leukemia after the bombing of Hiroshima. The 1000 cranes inspired me and since it is a belief of Japanese I tried folding as much cranes as I could. I sold them and donated all the money to our Japan fund and this situation brought back the interest of origami. Though it took me a while due to procrastination, I managed to finish a 3D swan. This got me thinking. Origami doesn't only interest me, it helps me relax and release stress. I recommend this technique to all. Though it is time consuming and somewhat useless to many people, I believe that it helps me. Origami has taught me to appreciate the little stuff that no one think matters and it has taught me patience. I shall continue on making art with origami and my next battle is to make a peacock. It is quite the challenge! I can't wait to begin!!!
