Individuals Paying It Forward |
 |
| I
am eighteen years old, and although I have yet to read the novel,
I picked up the movie yesterday by sheer chance and after watching,
I can surely say that my life, and the way I view the world around
me will never be the same. One day, I plan on becoming a teacher,
and I will spread your message of kindness and the hope in the goodness
of the human spirit unto others.
Today, I am promising to take your message and to spread it to a country exactly half way around the world, Iran. My parents look back on the youth with fondness as they describe the beauty of their homeland and its people. Anyone who has travelled to Iran knows that Iranians are some of the most hospitable people in the world, yet eight years of war, twenty years of isolation from the rest of the world, has breaken down the spirit of my people. From now on, I promise to spread your word to to this troubled country and maybe your thought will help save and rebuild my country. I do not have a story to tell you of right this minute, but one of these days, soon, I hope to report about not only three people I have helped, but hundreds. Peace be unto you for changing my life.
