On June 25th, 2009, Michael Joe Jackson died. After doing my own research on why this one man's death made the world stop turning, I realized that I never felt so connected to anyone in my life. For the whole summer I studied about Michael and cried over his passing. To this day, the song, "Leave Me Alone" still makes something deep inside of me ache. One of the most important examples that his life has shown us is that you have to stand up for what's right, even if you're standing alone. One of those things is making the world a better place and being fearless in our love for each other as human beings.
