I really enjoyed the speaker at Beginnings. It was amazing to hear the Holocaust story told from an actual survivor, rather from a movie or history book. I loved that she didn't take crap for everyone; she showed her strength after all she'd been through. She never once hid the fact that she was Jewish to try to get us to accept her as Christians which is so admirable in this world. I thought she was hilarious and adorable, but also she genuinely cared about us and the efforts we could make to change the world.
I thought it was ironic to have Beginnings on Tuesday and then my Ambassador meeting on Thursday, because we talked about how to approach different races at the preview weekend coming up. The speaker brought up a really interesting point - they make "flesh" colored bandaids, but they're only the color of OUR flesh - not black, brown, or any other. Apparently they've made different shades, but I've seriously never thought of that before. Anyways, it was just interesting to know all the proper ways to address people from different ethnicities, and how when we say certain things that seem okay to us, in reality... they're SO offensive.
