Angelina Jolie is an Ambassador to Refugees through the UN. She is working hard and making news around the world. What I would give to work alongside her and among those she has been sent to by the United Nations.
I've always wanted to be an ambassador like those I've read about for so many years.
I remember in the very early 80's there was a young girl, about 10 maybe, who had written a letter to Soviet president Yuri Andropov about wanting peace on earth to the people of his country and the world.
This letter got wind and she instantly was granted as a Young Ambassador to the Soviet Union.
I remember thinking how wonderful and brave she was to have dared to write such a letter to such a big leader of the day.
Only 10 and shaking things up...what a hero.
I envied her and yet she unfortunately died a year or two later. Cause of death was a plane crash with she and her father.
Here name was Samantha Smith. I do remember the impact she had made on the world and in my life.
It's people like her who dare to dream and dare to make a difference in the only way they know how...through their voice.
I've learned a lot and have admired this child then and still in death.
A legacy she has left this world and to me also.
Where ever you may be...know that you truly made an incredible and brave impact on a world that was and is still at war with others.
May the peace you had dreamed about one day come true and be realized before the world comes to its end.
