Inspiring?? Hmm...

This is the story about Rashad Williams, he is a track star of Bay Area. He heard of the tragic shooting thing at Columbine High School, and he felt really sad, because it was track season, and Williams though that if it was him, then that would be a disaster, that's why Williams decided to help this Lance Kirklin, who was one of the two dozen people wounded during the accident. Williams raised money by competing in some track races, and told other people to do so as well, not to run races, but to donate money to help this person, and people helped him. He thought he was doing well when he got 300 dollars, but the mayor found out and loads of people started to donate money to it! In two months, Williams raised 18000 dollars, and even more are donated straight to the Kirklin family.
This inspires me because, I would never ever do something so good. But lots of people do good things, and even great things, why did I choose him? It's because he is also an athlete, I can just feel the feeling he's feeling more than someone who is a doctor, I just never been in a doctor's shoes, I don't know the feeling of it. That's why I chose it. But even if I can feel it I would never do something like that, people get killed everyday, every hour, every minute, how are we going to decide who to help, and how to do it? One more thing is do I have the ability to help anyone?

What is "PEace"

Peace means everything is in harmony with everything else. But that's quite impossible, so peace for us is just living in a non-violent world, where we get to sleep at night without the fear of getting stabbed in the night.
