While reviewing the videos of the @amalinitiative Storytelling in English program applicants, I saw things that will stay with me forever. I watched people inside Gaza, recording their videos in small displacement tents or in front of walls marked by many bullet holes. Around them were the shouts of children, the noise of crowded life under war. (1/3)
Their courage forced me to ask: What’s our excuse for giving up so easily? If they can show such strength and hope amid living in a war, how can we fail to push ourselves forward? The people of Gaza remind us that dreams can still bloom even in the toughest places on Earth. They show us that we can learn, work, hope, and plan for the future, no matter how dark our situation may seem. (3/3)
