 Hi Luella,
I wonder if Paris Hilton ever read about Florence Nightingale?? This is a woman that has been admired by people around the world for her dedication, determination, fortitude, and compassion. Imagine a person of her status that never had to lift a finger in her life, never had to go into an area where disease was rampant, and never had to do more than make a donation and make the problem go away. She chose to forgo all that and many times in her career she would enter a hospital ward where all patients had a contagious desease. If ever there was a person that was Selfless it was Florence. When Shirley read her story she told me that this was a woman who could have invented the word courage and I agreed. Think of how many students, after reading the story of Florence Nightingale, decided to follow in her footsteps. This was a woman that was highly respected throughout the world and rightly so. I began this with {Paris Hilton} as an example because if more people read the story of Florence Nightingale, they might just gain a little insight of what the word courage is all about. This was a girl that was even respected by her enemies. I enjoyed the the trip back in time as well because there were many things that I had not known. The picture that Nick Sims submitted showed the dangerous situations that this woman faced on a daily basis. I am going to voice your opinion as well Luella and say that Shirley did make an excellent selection on her nomination.
GOD BLESS YOU
MIKE
