“Giving things up often brings greater benefits than holding in to them.” ““What are you doing for others?” According to Martin Luther King, an essential leader of the American Civil Right movement, that is life’s most urgent question.” ~By Beth Bowyer~I read some articles in the Studio Classroom these days. Two of them mentioned the “Sweet sacrifices” and “The courage to sacrifice”. The most impressive story is about Professor Liviu Librescu. On April 16, 2007, a gunshot case in the campus of Virginia Tech. This 76-year-old professor blocked the classroom door to give his students enough time to jump out of the second story windows. But he couldn’t withstand for long and was shot to death. His action really touches me. I felt so proud of him. He must be a person who is always nice to others, especially to the students. After I read them and had a deep thought. I asked myself some questions. “Would I do the same reaction to protect my students as the professor if I am in the same situation?” “What I can do to help other? Though I just a student right now, I want to do something.” I don’t know what I should do or what I can do, so this is my goal. I knew this goal might be too far for me, but as the Mona Purdy who is collecting shoes and send them all around the world said “I always thought I was too busy to help others, then I started this and found myself wondering [what I’d been doing] all my life.” There is always enough time to help, if you want. So here, I just want to share the story and to prompt more and more people to help others. Not only the “World peace”, but also let this world full of love. My name is Alice. My goal is “sacrifice”.

Dear Alice,
I’m impressed by the goal you set. That takes a lot of courage to make the decision. I think we can all make some contribution regardless of age. Helping others in need is what we can do. I feel proud to have a student like you.
Best,
Alice
