Dorothy Day

I really enjoyed learning about Dorothy Day because it really showed me that an ordinary person who didn't go through great extremes or visions from God can make a difference. Unlike the other saints Dorothy Day helped those around her including the poor. In 7th grade we learned about Dorothy Day in my religion class and ever since then I have never forgot about her. We also watched a movie about her and I thought that the movie was very true to heart. I love hearing stories about people before my time that go through similar situations as we do in our day. For example, Dorothy Day became pregnant and had to raise her child without the father. It goes to show that nothing in our world really ends and the same world problems still exist. I thought it was also interesting how her newspaper is still sold today for a penny.
