Marc Keilburger's journey to join the Me to We philosophy of life was different from his younger brother's Craig because Marc had always dreamed of a job with the Canadian government making a lot of money. Though while in first year university Marc was a page, fetching water when one man stopped him and asked him if he would like to go to Thailand. At first Marc declined the man's offer as he wanted to stay in school focused on making his dream career happen, though over time he gave in and soon was in an AIDS hospital helping those with the disease feel comfortable until they died. This changed Marc's outlook on life and he found that he wanted to help people. Marc returned to Canada, never forgetting the friends that he'd made and continued on with his schooling. Once the time of graduation came around, Marc faced the decision of what job offer to chose. In the end Marc chose to turn down all of the job offers and join his brother and the Free the Children organization. Marc's story is close to Craig's as they both realized how much poverty there actually is in the world by travelling to other countries. I don't think that either story is more 'impressive' than the other as they are both making a positive change in the world, working towards a common goal. Even though they got to where they are now from different paths, they are still making a change in the world that will help many people.
