At lass Summer must end

I was lucky to have been in Iran in such an amazing time, I got to witness and personally experience what most of you watched from the news.  It has been a life changing experience.
I can’t help but think how much I take for granted and the lack of appreciation I have for the bounty of resources at my disposal. I cannot sit back in life and hope that others will create the changes that I seek, I AM the one responsible for my future and thus I must be active in my quest.
The last few days here have been sheer pandemonium; there is a sense of fear, anger, and disappointment in everyone’s face. I find it mind boggling, shocking and so incredibly encouraging that no matter how much violence is used to barricade this movement, the people refuse to stay silent. They continue to protest, walk in the street, hunk in their cars and wear green.  I am moved by their bravery!
Most of us can’t even begin to comprehend what this nation is aching of.  Years of bottled up anger, oppression, stolen rights, forced silence and violence has exploded in the street of Tehran.
