Our lives changed after we got to know the MLC. There we met people whose hearts are pure gold. These people were dedicated to helping others. That’s why they deserve the greatest thanks.  It is really hard to express one’s emotions in another language. I know that there will be many inaccuracies and shortcomings in this article. But again I know that some feelings cannot be expressed even in one’s native language.  I believe the MLC changes people’s lives. As in a Loren Eiseley story, the MLC makes a difference in the lives of the people it touches.…“One morning, the old man was walking along the beach after a big storm and found the vast beach littered with starfish. In the distance, he noticed a small boy bending down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean. The old man came closer and asked “What are you doing?” The young boy replied “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they cannot return to the sea by themselves. When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water. The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.” The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled, and said, “It made a difference to that one!”

Thanks to the MLC for making a difference in the lives of grounded people after a storm. These people all have different stories. However, the common feature of all of them is their efforts to build a good future for themselves and their families. For this, they aim to adapt to the society they live in in the best way. They believe that in this way they will contribute to the society they live in.

Some of the most important communication tools for people are talking, writing, and reading. If I want to communicate with people in the United States, I should improve these skills. I am in the United States and English is the spoken language. Therefore, learning English will allow me to communicate with people and will help to make new friends. Also, English is the language used in business, art, science, and technology. Learning English will increase my chances to get a better job. I can reach my dreams and new opportunities with learning English. So, it is very important and necessary. Being able to talk, read, and write frees people.

Thanks to the MLC for helping people freedom. “Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better” (Albert Camus). Thanks to the MLC for giving a chance to be better to people.

The leaf is the most important organ of most plants and it allows the plant to breathe and survive. The leaf is of different color and shape. However, the common feature of all of them is to ensure the survival of the plant. The tree that has many leafs also has more fruit. Thanks to those who support the MLC tree with LEAF.

The ancient Greeks wore crowns on all kinds of special days. This crown was usually made of the leaf. At the great international games, the victors only received a crown of the leaf.
