This is a subject I mentioned in an earlier post, but I want to go into more detail about it because it is not well known or heard of. Honor killing takes place generally around the Middle East and parts of Asia and Pakistan, even though there have been incidences which have occurred in Britain and America.
On Friday I had my interview for acceptance to the Masters of Social Work program. I was completely caught off guard by a couple of the questions I was asked during this interview and to be honest, I was not quite sure how I was supposed to respond.

"I was in school that day, but we sat and watched the news. When that second tower collapsed every jaw dropped and not a single sound came out. In that moment, the whole nation seemed to have stood still, we were silent. It is this picture that will stay vividly in my mind for the rest of my life. Reading about it the next day in the newspaper was simply not the same. The impact of those live video feeds was monumental."
