    One more important thing Rabbi Amy spoke about was that the idea that we are all just one and that if you hurt someone else it’ll just come back to you.

    Story Behind The Glass Castle

    As for a lot of people, many of them have some type of story to tell. Some people aren’t okay with telling their story but others are okay with it. As for Jeannette Walls when writing her book The Glass Castle, she was very open about her story. With her story, many people noticed that the way she was raised and brought up wasn’t a normal way to be raised. She went through a lot and not many people realized the struggles she had. Just like everyone else, she had struggles and she overcame them to make a better life for herself. Between her story and mine, there wasn’t a lot of comparison, but the thing that did match up was the ‘Struggle’ that she went through.

    National Honor Society Character Analysis

    In high school, I joined Zonta Club to be involved with school and community. Zonta Club gave me an opportunity to reach out to people that had helped others and inspired other students to do the same. One of the unforgettable moments was when I volunteered in a fundraiser to help Alzheimer's disease. It was an event, called Rock-a-Thon, where kids and adults were together to raise awareness those who had the disease. Everyone was participating in the activities that were available in the event. There were games that both kids and elders could play with. They showed stories about the importance of being aware and helping those with Alzheimer’s disease. The event had shaped my views on giving back to the community. Service was not only about giving back, but it is also about learning from others. The joy that the people had even when there was a sickness in their life was incredible. It made me realize how I was fortunate to be living a life without the disease. The fundraiser had made me learn about the people in my town and the obstacles that had to endure and were still enduring. The event had impact the involvement and the appreciation I have over the…

Although everyone encounters hardships in their life, whether it is personal hardships or national hardships, everyone has a different aftermath, and a different story to tell about their experience. My stories and my experiences may not be the most moving, but they are certainly important to me, and are the stories and experiences I want to remember for the rest of my life.
