most inspiring guest speaker came into my school the other day and his speech left me.. speechless.
he tells an amazing story about an african boy Richard, who was playing soccer back at home. until a bunch of soldiers come and stop him and his friends, hanging them all on a bunch of veins. they cut each of the kids and insert crack into there blood. as the kids are still hallucinating, and this boy was then blindfolded by the soldiers, a gun was put into his hands and the soldiers screamed making him panic. and so he shot, he took off his blind fold and at that moment he realized he had just shot his best friend, at the age of 5 .
after his father had past away he was put in charge to be the man of the house. that night he heard gunshots he was afraid and ran under his bed, but remembered what his father had told him. he ran out and was forced to watch his mom and sister get assaulted.
the best part that stuck with me, let me quote " Richard now goes to UFT, you may walk right past him and not know that he went through all this. Because hes not wearing a shirt that says ' i am hurt," Its the exact same thing , with anyone you walk by in the hall . You dont know whats going on in their lives, or what they go through. So why dont you stop hating and start spreading more love around. Make someones day that much better.
daaamn, its long but i think its worth reading :)
