In Christopher’s hand was a note which was addressed: LORD CHARLES ELTON I: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!! To this day, no one knows what the note read.

Bob Geldof was the idea guy in this situation, he wrote alongside Midge Ure Do They Know It’s Christmas? to spread awareness to people that not everyone is lucky enough to…

John Lennon is an inspirational leader of the Beatles, anti-war activist, father, poet, singer/ songwriter, and illustrator of the 1960’s. He leaded peace through catchy tunes and meaningful lyrics that supported a non- violent and peaceful country. Although there was a very wide variety of great leaders that did a very important part in world history, I used a very strict criteria of how to choose a unique leader that people can learn from and admire.

My two friends, both 20-something journalists like me, were visiting me in Houston, and we considered Lakewood Church — the largest house of worship in the country and home to controversial superstar pastor Joel Osteen — a tourist attraction. We parked in a crowded underground garage and…
