Greenpeace

tonight, i am going to ramble. and here's why. tonight, i fufilled a dream that i never thought would happen. i met the one person in this world i wanted to meet above any other. jane goodall. my hero. the woman i want to be, the person i hope to become, the goals i wish to achieve. jane goodall. representing everything true, honest, heartfelt, hard-working, compassionate, peaceful, and GOOD in this world. and i met her. i drove for 4 hours today to see her. 3 days before my 21st birthday. it was the most amazing time of my life. it was all i could do to hold back tears through out the night. she just means so much to me. listening to her tonight, i couldnt take my eyes off of her, i couldn't stop wanting to be this woman standing before me. i just wanted to tell her how much she has helped me discover who i am. and when i met her... everything i always wanted to say, everything i wished i could explain to her... it only came out as "that's me" when she asked who amanda was. she looked into my eyes and i looked back and i saw the world in her. i saw everything i have every wanted to do with this life, with my time on earth, i saw it happening all in her eyes. she tells a story just by glancing at you. her presence and her way are undeniable. and she looked right at me and said "thanks so much for joining us." you see i joined roots and shoots tonight, the youth organization set up by jane goodall to change the world. and thats what i want to do and thats what i will do in order to be happy in this life. jane goodall. perpetuating my days, as always.
