We are students, and we are young. We are the generation of tomorrow. The power to make a difference is right at our fingertips, and all it takes is courage. Books like What the Eyes Don’t See show us the reality of that courage and what we as individuals are capable of accomplishing. I would never have thought that a pediatrician could take on the government and win. Well, she did, and her name is Mona Hanna-Attisha. She shows us in this book that if one strongly believes in something, then he or she can accomplish it. College students need to read more books like What the Eyes Don’t See because these types of books show past the smoke and mirrors of what we believe and show us the hard truth. These types of books remind us that the government we are supposed to trust is not always in the right. It is we the people who are capable of making the necessary changes if the government chooses to lie and hide behind the protection of power. Discussing, reading, and writing about books like What the Eyes Don’t See gives students a new perspective and challenges their beliefs of what they thought was true. Books like these show us college students the true power one human can have. We are young, yet we have the power to change the world.
