The optimist creed we finish with every night through every group we finish with we want to leave with at least a thought or feeling that if we just believe that things are going to be all right that. Thats a big majority of things being all right. So here i am having coffee and reading a newspaper about the closing of a Shopping Center and they are interviewing sonia and the interviewer is saying to her youve lost so many things in your life youve had so many disappointments how do you face the world every day. And she said if you look up on the wall you will see the optimists creed and when i come in every morning thats the 1st thing that i kept and i thought to myself sonia and the optimist create the prisoners and the optimist creed i have to bring them together. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by those. The dairy thing. We dare to ask. During the vietnam war us forces also. There was a secret war. And for years the American People did not know.

America no i was really like to be in the hell. Because he would never believe that what a human can do to as. Well they that i was working in to field one date and cant come said with from. The ashes were spreading their ashes as a fairy tale eyes are and i can tell you a spreading those you know with their so i could see the little pieces of bones which even in the could of my tortilla it couldnt completely and this was very difficult on me till today i still. This saved me a kick in. This is your opinion parties. To exterminate your group race. Maybe that injury was when he was beating me up by remaking it and the now i can make it i can make it out. So you gotta remember. These numbers on my server they sold a number are. They when i seen. It made me say yeah. I never knew who did not see me somebody like that we have to come to this understanding it is what you are insight not to judge you how you look or you know what is your religion but as a person what a person you are. Experience is everything. To me you takes people whove been through something to reach people who who are going through something. I mean is some people who go on do crazy things hurt others because theyre hard and they dont think things will get better for. And when you say oh. You look at her as you see. Things are good for her now them i gave you the courage to say you know. Im not going do what i was thinking about i dont. How do you find forgiveness. Forgiveness is a very important act in normal life but i came to the conclusion myself there are so many there seem forgiveness what i have seen people dying hanging camborne ink so that sometimes from the pile theyre burned i would say the people who asked about this burnt i cannot even begin. To tell you who am i to say that i forgive you know this has to come from a higher place for a lot different place but forgiveness should be picked is. To put to no 3 in your heart. You become like a different person i see the parole board in 6 months or so and. Hopefully ill be getting a chance to you know contribute something. And. Return some of that around. I hope that all of you in time will be in freedom but in the free dont never to come back to this place either and like i say still mad to war stay all that dimension to you. Theres. A way thank you so wonderful come here you go did you do to us not only me but one of these guys in here that youve given me more strength after 32 years of being here makes me want. To get out here so i appreciate you coming here thank you im really really. Serious the way. You make out. The opposite that you see when i get out on the farm saw you know was there an excuse so he can listen and hopefully be bless. Her experiences. Straight up because i believe hes dead bob did a course where he was 32 years and nothing can be compared with it at all this was your mother both of us to your right it would kill. The answer is no more the driving force here. Theres no regard to. See the light off or. Its. Even a serious military. Truth place where you come back in. The day your. Words are in your notes you know. If i might make it. Through all the strong things dont go. With us you can be very small for beach dreams for. You know when youre 1944 my mom was forced on a desk march from auschwitz to the notorious for going bills and. In this brings us to how the war ended for my mom when british troops approached her camp and what happened between her and then s. S. Guard on her last day of captivity. Theyre relating to it and theyre thinking about themselves and their families and so i feel an obligation now and its an obligation that im glad to do now and honestly i feel privileged. I really feel privileged. And i can do this you know it means to me. And. It means to me there and i wish that my father. I wish that he had had enough. When he. Said. He. He. Is if. You and i are speaking on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of one of the camps that you were in Bergen Belsen so it was a very is said it was a heavy in a set they. Indicated that it was sedated to. Little kids here or is there still fear hell vibrating to hear the tanks coming closer and closer they knew this was liberation. So of course they were starting to see if its an area where my mother was working. There were still a couple of guards around in the cars trying to stop them as shooting. Bullets came in right here that send them into my house and it came through. Clothes from my lungs. And then girls with this from the same wallet. That. I was the most serious. And the moment when the bullet came in i did not realize what is happening to me until the blocked will start coming and i knew that im dying. So this was a terrible experience just. To see dave do new things after so much trauma. Made it. She survived years in general and make tests and. When they did off the spoke to me the strivings believe. That it is. Literally. I mean there are limits on all sides. And the last summers. Coming theyre telling their friends about. It. Thats my money. So yeah obviously facts a lot of people and when she talks people they say they want to do something about it and they want to make it cheap. And i thought that it was important that i actually didnt think instead of just talking. So my name is Caroline Kennedy im from kansas city and i just graduated from high school. So i met sonia when i was in 8th grade and her story at least changed my life and completely changed my outlook on what i want to do. With her one individual story was all it took to inspire me to go and start this organization. Thats really the whole idea because one person has the power to impact one person has a power to impact one person and its a huge chain reaction. I mean if you think about it sonia coming to my school had an impact on you now in so maybe me coming to your school will have an impact on other people in the future. We go to work. Straight home. Imax kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is fun its a mice used by professional scallywags to earn money.
