I would feel scared that people were going to hurt or kill me. I don't know if i would believe in myself as much as Melba to do what she did. I think that i would do that for my race if i had to but i wouldn't have been as courageous as Melba. If i was treated half as badly as her i don't know if i could ever return like she did. I think i would return but i would definatly be scared. I think that Melba is definatly amoung one of my heros that i can look up to, she is among one of the most brave people i have heard of to risk her life for her race, but to help them out even more then they can imagine. I think i definalty will learn something from her and today i'm going to start to stand up for what i believe in and to believe in myself!
