This Youtube video shows a girl named Chelsea who plans to change the world through her talk show. What’s more is that her guest is a teenage girl who survived the Rwandan genocide. Apparently, both her parents were killed in the mass murder of Tutsis. Now, she comes back saying that she has seen the reality but she has also looked past it.
To think of what life would be like growing up without parents in the middle of a genocide is to some even impossible. However, to this brave woman, it is reality. She suffered a lot and now she is able to look forward into the future. This emanates hope to everyone out there who is in the same boat as her. In many ways, this girl is similar to General Dallaire. General Dallaire also suffered from depression after the genocide. Eventually he got past it through writing his experiences down. Now he looks forward into the future.
The world is full of daily problems that fluster almost every individual at some point in their life. However, when we look at these people, we realize that they have it worse. We should be gathering their courage and hope. They are excellent examples and role models. These people should be leading us the way into a better and brighter future.
I know about a man that recovered from the genocide in Darfur and he talks about his experiences from Darfur so this makes them similar and i think it is inspirational for someone to go through what she has gone through and still be able to live on with her life and express her thoughts/memories about the genocide.
