inspired

Much of Memphis knows the story of Michael Oher, the African-American teen who grew up in an unstable one-parent home but was taken in by the white, well-to-do Tuohy family. He became a football star at Briarcrest Christian School and Ole Miss, then was drafted in April by the NFL's Baltimore Ravens.

after watching blind side last night i felt confident of being human. its amazing that people like leigh anne and the tuohy family exist in this planet at this time.. full of inequities.. it warms my heart knowing that we people can be so nice if we really wanted to.. well of course it comes with discipline and proper values and a kind heart to do what she did to michael oher. she changed his life. i like to have that effect on people i meet. that boy could have been dead had she not adopted him.

i am inspired by what she did. i wanna change someone else's life too (in a good way of course) i don't wanna die without a legacy of my own. though right now i can't think of any legacy id like to leave.. id think about that on the coming weeks starting today..
i pray that there'd be more people like her. the blind side by the way is based on a true story that is why i am so touched by it.

no wonder iv'e read so many comments on how great it was. i tried to watch it before but im just so lazy so i postponed it.. i suggest you watch it too. ^_^

the picture above is the real michael oher and the couple who adopted him.. i cant find a picture where they are complete. such great great people. these are the kind of people we should look up to.
