The End of the Beginning

The anonymous story at the end- That person- I want that person to be me! as well as everyone else. The story at the end is a good wrap up of the book and shows what you can be like and what life can be like if you make the movement from Me to We. It also ties everything together that was mentioned in the book. If you move from Me to We that person can be You and just reading it seems very appealing to be that person. And to pass on this book so that it affects someone elses life for the better and slowly as the word gets out hopefully the world all moves from a Me mentality to We, which is a huge dream but i dont think its out of reach, it is possible. What will i take from it? a new perspective on life, thats for sure, reading this book over this semester has honestly changed my life for the better for sure. Its so much to talk about, i could go on for hours, it will change my outlook on life and how i go about my life. I have now wanted to get more involved with Me to We and have joined the school commitee and plan on going to see the effects we can make by going to Kenya through me to we. I am so happy i read this book and even more happy i did at this age when i am still maturing and deciding what to do with my life. What an amazing story.....Me to We...We are the generation and i do plan on being the change.

The Left hand Handshake

When i read this part in the book no joke my mouth literally dropped and i was shocked. This boy in middle school extends his left arm to shake the hands with the man who caused do much devastation to his community and the country and who cut off his right arm! I was amazed this middle school aged child extending his hand to show peace to the man that caused the devastation! WOW how powerful, i was shocked. I'm sure that man, at least I'm hoping he felt guilt for what he had done and was moved by this child's gesture and realizes what he has done. That was crazy for this young boy to do such a thing and in a way forgive him for what he has caused and to move forward with peace. I was shocked i honestly believe i would not even think about doing such a thing, Santosh is amazing. I do believe though that in order to move forward you do have to forgive and maybe that is why Santosh did this in order to move forward in peace. I was just shocked at such a young age he could do that. He is on brave and courageous boy.

Mr. Williams

I have met a Mr. Williams and he reminds me of him so much. My Mr. Williams is my minister Dr. Lonnie. He is an amazing man who is always willing to lone a helping hand to anyone. He is very active in our community and would never even think twice about helping out someone in need. He has supported me in all my decisions and is always willing to help if needed. He is a very approachable man and is always good to go to when you need some help. He would do what Mr. Williams did any day to help out someone. He always tells us that his door is always open and he is always willing to talk and help. He truly is a Mr. Williams
