Yesterday and today were incredible days. Not only was yesterday taco day (a very special treat for us), but it was also a day where everyone on Semester at Sea was blessed to hear the honorable Archbishop Desmond Tutu speak. When I think back about what he said I feel as if it is almost impossible to explain the impact of his words on myself and I am sure upon everyone else who heard him speak. He is simply inspirational. He believes that we, as young people, can truly make a difference. I do not want to sit here and try and type out his lectures or even attempt to give you a sense of what was said, because that would do no justification. However, what I will leave you with are a few quotes from Father.
“If we are going to get it right at all, it is because you say it must be different.”
-Archbishop Desmond Tutu
“The only way we can be human is together.
The only way we can be free is together.
The only way we can ever be secure…together.
The only way we can be free…together.”
-Archbishop Desmond Tutu
