The guest speaker has given me more light to see the truth of what is going on in the world. I have always known that I am lucky to be born in the US and how people are living in other countries. Over the past summer, my family and I took a scheduled trip to Europe and it turned out to be better than what I could ever have known it to be. Then when you learn to look beyond the tourist attraction and what you see, you can really see how their life is really like. After experiencing this and comparing it to what we see in the US, it really does open your eyes to everyone. You see things now in a very different light and you do not take anything for granted.
What she has talked about made me kinda wish to be there to experience things for myself. To see and to know what she saw and felt, to fully understand. Even though I have seen it in my own eyes over the summer, just listening to her talk and picturing what she said in my head, it's a revelation. Even the fact that I was hearing all of this from a real Halacaust survivor couldn't make this any more real. I'm really priveleged to have that day happen to me because it's the things like those that make us open our eyes to what is truly around us. I just wish more people would understand that fact.

My Strengths
The term use it or lose it is true. If I don't work on my strength, then I wont use them, and eventually I'll lose them. My strengths have molded me to the person I am today and I am very happy with who I have become. If I don't use my strengths or work on it, then I'm not helping myself become a better person or excelling in life. The strengths are a part of me and I don't want to lose a part of me.
What I can do this semester to build my strength is to be involved with my alpha group, school, and things outside of school like my friends, families, or work. Since life is unpredictable, when i apply my strengths in various things I can help to build it with different situations. Then evolving it and making it stronger, better, and more effective. It can also help me to learn more abou myself and will help me in my future and my career.
