Hey!

I have just two quick things to say:

1. Today is 9/11.. Why is the minute of silence not done anymore? In my four years of high school we didn’t do it and it wasn’t done in my class today either. We are STILL AT WAR.. It’s a sign of respect for those still overseas. I can see not doing it after the war has ended and our troops are back home. However, with our men and women still overseas, we should be honoring them on the day this war started.
2. Yesterday was National Suicide Prevention Awareness Day. I supported it by wearing the color yellow, which is the color symbolizing suicide, and writing the word “love” on my wrist. That may not be much, but those who are considering suicide and see it may rethink their plans because they can physically see that someone cares.

Supporting suicide awareness

I seem to have found my voice since coming to college and now and have no issue stating my beliefs and standing up for what I believe in!

🙂
