#13 Three Cups of Tea

I am finally finished with my book!!!! It has taken forever, I know. Some parts were very slow, while others made your heart race, or even cry. Despite the difficulty of getting though it, it was worth the read. It is amazing how much these people have gone through, and how one man's dedication made so much of a difference. Not many people care that only a third of the money promised to help Pakistan after the war made it there. They don't seem to worry about how the teachers need that type of money. They don't know about the five thousand girls trying to hold school in a feild next to the boy's high school.
Greg Mortenson risked his life to provide for these people when he had nothing. And think of us, who have everything. Mortenson is a real hero; a person who does not help others for the money or the glory. He does it only to help the people he has grown to love and give them a better chance at life. He has made over fifty-five schools and impoved chances for all the children, both boys and girls. In life, we have rare opportunintes to change someones life. Mortenson has taken the opportunity given to him and made it into his life. We need more people like him in this world.
