RIP Nelson Mandela

I know I'm late-coming with this post, but I feel like I have to pay homage to one of the world's greats. Nelson Mandela. The things he did for the freedom of black's from Apartheid, and peace and equality in the world is just extraordinary. He was prepared to die for something he believed passionately about - a lesson we can all learn from him about determination. He left a legacy that cannot be replaced. His defiance against being treated as a slave, as an outsider. He went from prison to President. Among the help of people who had the same vision as him, they battled, they fought, and they won. Finally people began to see South Africa for the disappointment that it was. Finally Mandela was a free man. Finally the fall of Apartheid came around. He made history as the first black leader of South Africa. He is now with the angels, but he hasn't gone without achieving no-one can ever live up to. He was no saint, but he was someone truly inspirational. He is someone truly inspirational.
