Todd Shea

Todd Shea is an American citizen  who is not a typical American that comes to our mind when we think of one. He has the purest of hearts and can't see anyone in pain. So any place that has undergone tragedy like earthquakes and hurricanes and floods he goes to that place to give as much help as he possibly can. He has helped in America after the 9/11, in Haiti, After the Hurricane Katrina, flood in Pakistan in year 2005, the earthquake in Japan and then the floods in Pakistan again in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
   He ended up spending a lot of time in Pakistan and has fallen i love with its culture and the people. He has no fear of being killed by the Taliban or being kidnapped by someone. What i love about this man, and also what i have learned from him is, that we should not judge the people by their stereotypes. Not all Pakistanis are Taliban, not all Muslims are terrorists and not all New yorkers are party freaks. If we have to judge, then we should judge people individually by their behavior and not from what they are or where they are from. Also we should not listen to others when they stop you from going somewhere, because bad people are everywhere. Whether its America, Pakistan or Sri Lanka.  You are in equal danger everywhere so stop getting scared from people and just do what you want to do. Stay happy and let others stay happy as well.
