TW: American Politics and Current Events
When I was a young teenager I read a news story about a woman who was stopped at a stop sign and saw a man beating a little boy. She got out of her car and ran over to stop him and he killed her. The story made a huge impression on me because I realized for the first time that doing the right thing isn't always safe and doesn't guarantee a happy ending. Her story fell out of the news pretty quickly, but I never forgot her. She was brave and she made me want to be like her. What the perpetrators of violence don't realize is we remember those who stand up and we will end up stronger because of it.
