| Who has inspired you most in your life? | |
| The small hill tribe students whom I went to help building their school library and their classrooms in Chiangmai province with the pageant in Thailand give me such a power of life. Some of them had to walk so far away from home everyday to school without shoes, but they told me with their shining eyes that they felt so lucky to be able to go to school. They talked about goals and hopes in their lives. Although they were so small, their hearts were a lot bigger than the bodies. It is really inspiring! |
