March 4, 2009, Iraq- Mohammed Rasoul, a fourteen year old, grew up on Falluja, a war-zone like city. In October 13, 2006, he and his cousin were sitting right next to a car bomb. Before he knew what happened, the bomb exploded, destroying his right leg and obliterated his cousin. When the Global Medical Relief Fund, a charity that supports children in war-torn homes internationally, found out about him, they helped him. The charity brought them living in the United States, which made them changed their thoughts about the country. His mother initially believed that America was only saw her dark and inhumane side. After living in America, she found out that America was a really friendly society and there was sympathy. With the charity’s donations, the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania installed a prosthetic limb for Mohammed. When they returned back to Iraq, they spread the news of the good of America. However, after Mohammed lived in United States, where it was completely different from Iraq, he is now much more tensed about another attack. He feared that he might be ambushed again as he was regarded as a traitor after going to the United States. In the end, Mohammed returned back to the United States, thanks to the Global Medical Relief Fund. He will be replaced with a new prosthetic, as the old one does not fit him anymore.
This is a second chance. Everyone needs a second chance. Our God gave us a second chance to repent, which will help us turn into a better human being. My history teacher gave me a second chance to improve my mark, which boosted my mark up incredibly. The Global Medical Relief Fund gave Mohammed a second chance was to the United States, to have a new life. I am really happy for this boy. I hope that he will not waste his chance in the United States to do something foolish but the help the society in the future. Now, after reading this article, I would want to do more Community Service work; ready to help the needy. I hope that more Iraq and war-tarred citizens will be rescued by these kind of charity operations. This will provide the poor victims of their own society a second chance. I hope the citizens in Iraq would change their view about the United States, so this could help the two nations to create peace. Thus, will give the United States her second chance. In conclusions, a second chance is not only the essence of bringing a better society but to maintain hope for humanity also.
