Mississippi

Today I visited the house where Medgar Evers lived and was assassinated. We got to see the bullet that went through the kitchen wall. Later we took a trip down to Tougaloo college. I felt so much energy in the trees as I stood there to observe each one precisely. Toward the end of the day we got to spend some time with these students of Sunflower County. They made me learn to feel grateful, because they don't have much and they all strive for an education that we receive everyday. I loved their attitude towards life, and are very optimistic. I hope one day I can give something to their community that can help them.
