Dears!
I am Julita
and I am from Lithuania.
At this moment I am medical student, but my story
started in the school when l realised that I really care about peoples. That’s
the reason why l decided to join Medical student association of Lithuania,
where I was participating in some projects such as ‘Prevention of breast
cancer’, ‘Prevention of testicles cancer’, educational programme about healthy
diet for pupils, free testing for HIV on AIDS day. Than I realised that there
are lots of things that needs to be improved or changed on sexual health
because of stereotypes and stigmas, especially for youth. And that’s how I
found Family planning and sexual health association of Lithuania year ago. It
is said, that life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.
And l really enjoying that myself, who I am during activities in this
association. Here I understood what SRHR really means for the first time, what
it is to advocate and to fight for the better place to live. After getting lots
of new and useful information, some local projects, I started to led a lessons
of sexual education in the schools. And these lessons (or the time with youth,
their private questions and lots of good words and thanksgiving after lessons,
request to come back here with more information) really turned me on and I
wanted to do even more. I became ASTRA Youth member; on July I were attending
advocacy and communication training of YSAFE, after which I decided to join it
and of course to become a part of wonderful I <3 being a girl working group.
I hope, that before I am 80 years old lady, I won’t become that person who is
angry at all the world, at all systems, but still doing it in silent near the
TV and doing nothing to change it. I hope, that the world after me will be a
better place to live, without any discrimination, any violence.
Despite
these activities, l also enjoying my free time : I am crazy about coffee
times (when I can have a peaceful time with my minds or my wonderful
friends to get ready for activities of day), time in nature ( because I
can forget about stress and have some relax and thoughts that we are here just
for a little time so there are no reason to have a war, violence or
discrimination), reading books (to create my personality!) and of
course, I <3
being a girl!
I really
believe that everyone is a kind person in a heart. And there are some things,
that really can help you to get inspired to believe, that you are the best. You
must:
1. See the
movie ‘My name is Khan’.
If you
already saw it, you should look at the sky in the dark night and catch the
falling star to make a wish ‘No discrimination’.
2. Read Victor
Hugo ‘
Notre-Dame de Paris’. If
you think that you should change it to better end, please, just do it! Just use
your imagination, always read your kindness minds!
3. Listen to
the song ‘
Christophe Willem - Someone
New’.
After preparing yourself for good emotions, everyone should listen
for whisper to their ear ‘I love you’.
4. If still
you didn’t get inspired and you are sad about injustice, please, just TRY to by
some new shoes!
At the end,
l want to remember for everyone, that everything, what you think of yourself is
much more important than what people think of you. Just don’t be afraid to be
more crazier than everyone else, take a risk and do it ! <3
