love is such a strong word

ok so i watched this film in one of my class's and it hit me hard. It was about a little middle school in a city above chatanooga and they dont have many people in the city. well the teachers and the principal wanted to teach them about the holocaust in a way that could touch there hearts and make them realize the true feelings that the people felt. So they started talking and they realized that 6,000,000 Jews were killed by Hitler so they cqame up with a plan to collect something that was small and get at least 6 million of them. and some one came up with collecting paper clips. So they decided to collect 6 million paperclips to represent the Jews. So they got a groups of the middle schoolers and they made a club called " the paper clips". They sent out mail to everyone to send a paper clip in memory of someone in the holocaust. At the begining they got alot of response one person sent 100 thousand paper clips alone. But as it continued the paper clips stopped coming for a while they only sent one or two at a time. The principal was about ot give up hope that they could finish this but the students wanted to continue with it. So they kept it up and after a couple of years they reached their goal but the clips kept coming till they had 29 million paper clips. The principal didnt know what to do with all the paper clips so they decided to make a memorial. They got a box car that actually treansported the victims of the holocaust to the concentration camps. and they filled the car with 11 million paper clips. During this they had some of the survivors come and speek to the students and the residence of the town. They talked about how we should be lucky to live in America and how we are lucky that we have people around us. This presentation hit me hard. I want everyone to know that you are lucky to live in a country where you are free and you are not judged by you race or your ethnicity. You should be gratful that your parents and grandparents are around in your life and they are not taking from you. BE GRATEFUL FOR WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU CAME FROM NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
