God Grew Tired of Us
So this post doesn't really go with my blog topic, but I still think it is
beneficial to talk about. I just watched a documentary on Hulu called God Grew
Tired of Us. This documentary shows the life of three lost boys from Sudan in
Africa. These boys were a lucky few from their camp of lost boys that were
given the opportunity to come to America. They experience new and different
things in America, such as electricity, Christmas decorations, and apartment
buildings. They find various jobs so they can support themselves, and when
possible, send money home to their families and Sudan brothers and
sisters. Even though the jobs are laborious and often mundane, they continue
to work and do the best with what they have. Near the end of the documentary,
one of the boys is reacquainted with his mother who he has not seen in the last
seventeen years. You can see their pure joy when they meet together again. The
joy of family. All three boys at the end of the movie are going to college, as
well as two boys giving back directly to their community through the creation
of a non-profit organization and other various efforts. The lost boys are an
inspiration of how courage, love and determination can help you live the
fullest life possible. If you have not seen this documentary I highly suggest
it, especially as it is free on Hulu.
