(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/multiculturalism/march21/index.asp) You never know when we'll reach this goal. With your help, we can slowly make a difference, if you read the story below- you will see that there is such thing as something small but inside, you know it is bigger. If only things could be faster (I wish I had a fairy godmother.) 
Lucky Cinderella, others wish that they don't have to be mistreated anymore, others want the discrimination to stop- don't worry, be happy! Look at the positive side of life, if you are a negative thinker, you will attract negative attention, anyways; there are so many things in life that we should all be happy for, like for example: Take the time to appreciate yourself, and your abilities! Simple things can make a difference!!! Like this, are you reading my blog? You have the ability to read! Be thankful, that you can, others can't you know! 
Personally, I am grateful that I have food on the table every day, I want to help others who can't! Here is a short story:The Starfish Story
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."

Asides from that, I am also grateful that I can wake up each morning hoping that somewhere in the world, someone is reading my blog and that I am slowly raising awareness throughout the world about Racism and Discrimination. I also am grateful that you are all taking the time to read this and taking that moment to realize what you are grateful for in life. Smile, because there are many things to smile for.
