Inspiration

One Monday afternoon, I was sluggishly walking home after a tiresome day of school, when all of the sudden, I saw these two girls patiently standing behind a table with a plethora of pamphlets, all relating to Islam. I being naturally curious, approached them, and asked if I could have a Qu'ran.

Though looking exhausted and drained from standing outside for what seemed like hours in 80 degree weather, they received me with eagerness and welcoming hospitality. One of the girls told me that they were driven to do this because of all the stereotypes by the media of Muslims and of the Islamic religion. I was so amazed at the commitment these two girls made in taking time out of their day to educate the public about Islam that I took a picture. Though my conversation with them was brief, nevertheless, it altered my mood for the entire day. It is incredibly virtuous for these two young people to take time out of their day to do something they're passionate about and take an active stance in their community. More young people should do something like this.

Flashback Friday: Prospect Park Picnic

'Twas a lovely, but oh-so-hot, summer day at Prospect Park.

Hello Key Clubbers!
Hope you've not forgotten about your commitments this past month! If you are part of our Facebook group, you'll see that we reguarly post pictures and occasionally videos for our events. But from now on, all I will now be posting some pictures either I or members have taken at the events on this blog.

In case you've missed it: Our first event of July was the Prospect Park Picnic. It was a lot of fun, and members from Edward R. Murrow, Abraham Lincoln, and Brooklyn Tech Key Club attended as well. (We highly encourage inviting members from other key clubs to participate in our events!) After devouring hoards of junk food, we then proceeded to playing numerous games, including "never have I ever," which was G-rated at its inception, but naturally, became PG-13.

Here are some pictures/videos of the lovely Grand Army Plaza:
