Ishmael Beah

Having Ishmael Beah come to Ball State was great. I didn't really know what to expect, but i do know that i was very surprised. He was a great public speaker and had the perfect answers to every question that was asked. It is one thing to read a book and feel the emotions wrote about but another to actually here them from the mouth that lived it. I loved listening to him. He answered many questions i had , like how he was so forgiving and how he had so much hope to make it through. The journey he has been through is ridiculous but his story is amazing. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to have him here and to listen to his message for us.
