What I Learned

My internship which I am still going to is amazing and will continue to be amazing. I love that I chose MADD, but the sad part is I chose this internship because my sister was killed by a drunk driver and I wanted to do something about that. I am glad that I am able to share my story to many people. I have probably told my story almost 200 times and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I love speaking in front of an audience, many people will come up to me and take pictures or hug me saying I was an inspiration and the hard part is telling the story about how my sister was killed. Do I cry when I do speak sometimes, yes of course its painful to go up there and talk about my sister. Not everybody can do what I am doing, I hear other speakers and they tell me they waited three years to speak which for me I could not do. People tell me all the time that I am crazy for speaking so soon or how do you do it? I learned many things from this internship.
      MADD taught me many things one was being able to give me courage to speak, they helped through my speaking process. I also learned more about what MADD does and what they are working on in the future and its going to be a successful future for MADD I can already see it. I mention this before I saved well over 1000 lives or even there might have been people that drink less or got rid of alcohol after they heard me speak. I am doing the best I can. MADD is helping me every step of the way. I believe I did meet my goals. I am leader, I am life-saver, a change maker, a motivator, and I am community activists. I do feel I need to do more in the community activists though, but that does take time. I have several more speakings this upcoming week and I cannot wait to go, these are my last speakings for this year so I got to give it my all. I do want to be a motivational speaker, but this all comes with time. I do hope I can go schools and not only talk about drunk driving, but motivate the students about their education and life choices. I am doing this all for my sister MALAK whom I miss dearly every second, every minute, every hour I think of her, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU RIP.
