The first one I read was called "Experiential Learning: The Day of Silence" This one was about an experience that someone found deeply rewarding. Anthony Chivetta had participated in the GLSEN’s Day of Silence. Anthony started participating last minute and on a whim two years ago when Anthony was offered a “Day of Silence Participant” button by a member of Anthony's school’s Gay-Straight Alliance. The stated purpose of the day is to call attention to hate speech and its silencing effects on GLBT students. In this sense, the day is an activist event. For Anthony, this is a noble cause taking the admirable form of self-sacrifice. Even if this was the only reason to participate, Anthony would gladly do so. http://students2oh.org/
