One Day

Everyone remembers September 11th, but what about the 21st? Jeremy Gilley has worked hard to create one day of peace, that day is September 21st. You hear about world peace all the time, it's what pageant girls say in the interview part of the pageant. But what about taking action and making things happen? That's exactly what Jeremy did.


This video inspired me, Jeremy's whole attitude was amazing. He thought if it didn't work, it didn't work, things would stay the same no harm done. But Jeremy was not going to give up. Watching this video really made me think of what I can do on this day of peace. Making up with someone I don't exactly like just isn't big enough. I want to make a change like Jeremy did, maybe not something that big to start, but something that will help either way. What are you going to do on this day? No matter if its big or small, everything counts. At the end of this video Jeremy said "If you put one drop, one drop of something in that water, it will change it forever." Is this really true? Is the whole world going to change because of this one day? To me I don't see why not, violence went down 70% because of one day. Jeremy received a letter from the Taliban pretty much saying no one would be hurt on this day, they were going to sit back and see what happened. As a result 1.6 million children were vaccinated against polio. I was truly inspired and I hope you were too. Jeremy kept saying that he got everything on video, if you find any more of his videos or talks I would love to see them.
