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?

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.

Oh Max! I believe that YOU DO have the ability to help someone! Never shy away from that. Never see yourself as insignificant or unable to help another human being. It doesnt have to be something grand. A smile, a helping hand, a genuine comment of inspiration - these little things can make a world of difference in someones life. Your heart is the most important thing you could use to gauge how important something or someone is.... different things move us and inspire us. You will know when the time is right what you need to do and to whom you need to do it to. Just remain open to the possibility always that you can make a difference in someones life! You have been an inspiration to me this year in so many ways! "Be the change that you wish to see in the world" - Remain positive and hopeful that there are good reasons that we exist and occupy this world! Always see the glass as half full and I promise you, that you will see life in an amazing light!
