I found Tim's Story to show the truth about many peoples' point of view on life. Many people that we walk past every day are very self-absorbed and are only worried about how they look or how others think of them. I think that it is important to realize that we, that live in North America, are very lucky to have the life that we do. Though there are some people in Canada suffering from mental or physical disabilities that are pushed aside because able-bodied people believe that they are better. This is absolutely wrong. All these people want its to be noticed and treat like adults instead of children their whole lives. Tim was able to see past their disability and in the end he found his true calling in life and led a happier life because of it.

The rain in Kenya is the most incredible thing. When you are little, you run out in the rain and just love the feeling of the rain on your skin. Though now people worry about their hair, make-up, clothes, etc. We let the media get in the way of our innocence and freedom to run in the rain like when we are children. North Americans need to gain back their freedom and stop dwelling about what others think. The people of Kenya live life to the fullest even though they have much less in material things than we do. They believe that one day their life will improve, though along the way they don't sulk about the things they do have, they celebrate what they do have. Sometimes we all need to drop anything that we are doing to just run in the rain. 

The man that escaped North America as he was tired of living in the game of Survivor was a very moving story. He realized how cut - throat North America really was. People in North America are always trying get ahead of one another and think about themselves before they think of others. This is a sad way of living, but because of all of the competitions that we have in our society, we are all raised to try to get a head of of each other instead of getting along with our neighbours.
