Your Life is Significant

After listening to Dr. Martin Luther King's speech, "Your Life is Significant," I was inspired to write this piece, which is very relevant, even today.

When facing catastrophic events, we often forget about the significance of our lives and the potential we have to overcome the negatives. During these challenging times, many of us have lost jobs, but we have a belief in our own self-worth, and the determination to keep on trying. Our doctors and nurses put their lives at risk and rise above and beyond their daily job routine to keep us safe. So many innocent people faced hate crimes and it is our responsibility to go against this injustice. We will slowly but surely overcome these hard times. All we need to do is to keep “crawling” ahead.
