Nothing less
Posted by Ann on April 19, 2007 · Leave a Comment
I just found out about Julia Campbell’s death from Theresa’s blog. She was a Peace Corps volunteer working in the Philippines for the past two years. She was set to go home in June but she went missing last April 8 and was found in a dry creek yesterday morning.
Is it weird and utterly pathetic to cry for a perfect stranger? Cause I did.
Like Theresa, I feel ashamed and angered. At the person/people who did this to her. At the unfairness of it all. A person drops everything she has ever known to help people she doesn’t know in a poor, and dangerous (that is pretty much established, no?) country, and this is what she gets.
She was a martyr.
I don’t know if I can be like her.
Sometimes, I feel guilty for wanting to be anything less.
