Today was a very exciting day! For english we had a guest speaker who talked about what helping others is all about. Her delivery made her very interesting and kept everyone listening! She told of her story which was inspiring and caused me to rethink my whole purpose in life and how to help others in need. After she said that she was a Christian, it made me very excited to see a Christian speaker at my school talking and making a big impact on everyone. It's very rare to see a Christian speaker at a public school. I was very intrigued when she said she studied in Hong Kong for several years and came back to start helping with women's problems. After telling what exactly she helps out with, I pictured myself in her job, and realized that I wouldn't be suited enough because i'm not patient and i wouldn't have the right words to say to help the individual. I really enjoyed this guest speaker the best and really appreciated her for inspiring me.

Fantastic Volunteer work

Last Friday a 19 year old woman born in Bangladesh visited my english class. She told her story, which was outstanding, about muscular dystrophy. It almost made me cry. Her story was about how muscular dystrophy affected her brother and she told us how severe it can be. Her brother of 12 years old has the most severe and common type. Ms. Din told us that that muscular dystrophy is from genetics and usually only males get it, but sometimes girls can get it too. It has to do with the X and Y chromosomes.
Ms. Din's story was heartbreaking and depressing. It inspired me and educated me about the world we live in. The world seems perfect on the outside, but in reality it's chaotic and is full of discrimination toward people who are alienated because of it.
