There are many stellar people in this world, some still with us, some not, who have made a valuable contribution to our world.

An Italian, my Sister, my Friend, a Scientologist
My sister, Amanda, has been an inspiration to me my whole life. She married an Italian and now speaks it fluently. While in Italy she became a member of the Church of Scientology. She told me a story of a friend who had a horrible accident and as the friend came from an Italian family the last rites were being administered.
My sister went to the hospital and she is a Volunteer Minister from the Church of Scientology. She delivered what is called an "Assist" which is a technique created by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology. This procedure enables the spirit, or the person himself to re-orient himself with his environment. The Doctor's can only call it a miracle. Amanda's friend recovered. I decided to check out Scientology myself after this.
Based on the peace and confidence I have as a result of joining this Church I want to thank from my heart my sister for this gift. She is my hero and so is every other Scientologist that I know.
