Yesterday was the must inspiring day of all. We met several women that I aspire to be like. One in particular was Shura. Shura is one of the founders of the green valley samaritans. They are a group formed to aid immigrants in anyway possible. What struck me the most about Shura is her passion for what she does and the way she inspires others.
Shura told us a story about a little boy who came up to her and introduced himself. She told the little boy that he could be anything that he wanted to, for example a doctor. She also told him that next time he introduced himself he should mention that he could be anything he aspired to be. Sure enough when Shura introduced the little boy to her friend, he held out his hand and said his name and age, followed by " I am going to be a doctor." The way Shura builds people up instead of bringing them down, like society tends to do, trully shows Shura's compassion and how she sees each person as made in God's likeness.
