Social Change Starts Here!

Social change starts from within. And it starts with one person and then creates a chain reaction.

Put your faith in what you most believe in. Two worlds, one family. Trust your heart. Let fate decide. To guide these lives we see.

A paradise untouched by man. Within this world blessed with love. A simple life, they live in peace.

Softly tread the sand below your feet now. Two worlds, one family. Trust your heart. Let fate decide. To guide these lives we see.

Beneath the shelter of the trees. Only love can enter here. A simple life, they live in peace.

Raise your head up. Lift high the load. Take strength from those that need you. Build high the walls. Build strong the beams. A new life is waiting. But danger’s no stranger here.

No words describe a mother’s tears. No words can heal a broken heart. A dream is gone, but where there’s hope.

Somewhere something is calling for you. Two worlds, one family. Trust your heart. Let fate decide. To guide these lives we see.

Everything matches with change: jewelry and clothing that does great change. Even though I already have quite a few of them, I still plan on going on one of those Me To We trips in Kenya (or Haiti, if possible) to help build schools, etc)! As well as other charity work like volunteering at all kinds of places, I’m still quite young, I’ve got lots of time still!

Give Peace a Chance” opens with Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital’s chief of surgery, Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) implementing a new computerized surgical scheduling system, which is disliked by many of the hospital’s staff. Thereafter, Isaac (Faran Tahir), a hospital lab technician, brings Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) a scan of his tumor, which has been declared inoperable by several other physicians due to its complexity.

Isaac asks Shepherd to remove it. Shepherd agrees, but Webber refuses permission for the procedure because of the high risk involved. Shepherd ignores the chief’s directions and schedules the surgery. The interns and residents all want the chance to assist due to the rarity of such a tumor, so Shepherd hosts a competition in which the winner gets to join him in the operating room.

After seeing Dr. Steve Mostow (Mark Saul) make a mistake, Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) is confident that she will win the competition, but loses to Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams).

Dr. Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) is not invited to compete because Shepherd wants her to be his caregiver in what would be a long surgery.

Knowing that she will not be able to use the bathroom for the entire procedure, Lexie decides to wear a diaper into the operating room; her courage and dedication impresses Yang.

Dr. Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) is scheduled for an interleukin 2 (IL-2) treatment but is absent from the hospital. Dr. Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) calls her, but she does not answer or come, so Karev cries to fellow resident Dr. Reed Adamson (Nora Zehetner).

Shepherd spends ten hours in the operating room contemplating what to do about the tumor, with the motivational support of fellow surgeons Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane), Dr. Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), and Dr. Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez).

Webber orders Shepherd to end the surgery because he is wasting hospital resources. Shortly thereafter, Isaac awakens to Shepherd explaining that the surgery would not have been possible without paralyzing him. Isaac convinces Shepherd to operate again in secret the next day, and the latter maps out a diagram of the surgery on his bedroom wall while discussing it with his wife Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), who is home on bed rest after donating part of her liver to her father in the episode “Tainted Obligation”.

Backed by his fellow attendings, Shepherd obtains Webber’s permission to cut the chord but tells Avery and Lexie that they were not cutting the chord and playing by ear instead. He removes all but a tiny section of the tumor. Webber discovers that Shepherd is operating and is about to put an end to it, but Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) tells him to go away. Shepherd has to cut a nerve to remove the rest of the tumor, but does not know which will result in paralysis.

He decides with a game of “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe”, ultimately cutting the correct nerve and eliminating the entirety of the tumor.

Despite the successful surgery, Webber is enraged and verbally fires Shepherd. Shepherd dismisses this in a light tone and goes home to drink champagne with his wife.

I can’t decide if I should buy all five of them online or when I go to the We Store at the Toronto Eaton Centre. What do u think? Anyway, I’ve become a huge fan since I discovered Free The Children and We Day in Grade 10, have had my life purpose similar to Craig’s since May 2010!

I plan on doing more than just buying these products! But anyway, I not only believe in these things, I believe in the “impossible”. Nothing is impossible. Some people think and believe something like a tumor of some kind is inoperable, but I don’t have any belief of that at all.

The patient Mr. Shepherd worked on with the inoperable tumor in episode 7 of season 6, I’ve been on his side for most surgeries and decisions. And his patients inspiring speech, proud and so inspiring and also so encouraging! And little Grey’s speech to the other doctor on the surgery, well said, Grey!

That’s one thing I’ll admit with no shame at all! More to come this year like this!
