I’ve been blogging almost two semesters now and I’ve got the basic concept of it. I feel, with my voice being heard every week through out this website, I’m pretty excited and impressed. I never thought my own opinions and perspectives will be meaningful to others and not be judgemental. Now that I’m moving forward in my academic life, I feel using my voice more will help me accomplish my goals in life a bit faster and comfortably for me. In my eyes, it mean with my voice being put out there more people will recognize me and know I exist as a person and I have needs and wants as well. With my voice reaching out to individuals I may get noticed for many opportunities life have to offer. Having stated all this can be very useful to anyone who once felt like me…shy and not comfortable with being judged by anyone. But I have build up enough confidence to not care actually. And this may help incoming freshmen when I be a sophomore at Xavier. TO BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR VOICE SERIOUSLY AS AN INDIVIDUAL!!! (Because I never did until I came to college and step into the Beyond Jena Forum. When I found out my voice can play a HUGE part in the soceity today).
My basic advice to them is don’t be shy to speak up and voice your opinions and ideas in the world today. No one can judge you on what you say and how you go about things. Especially your voice. So all I’m saying is let your voice be heardr and don’t look back for wrong doing or what so ever because it doesn’t matter. As long as you comfortable with your voice(of an opinion, idea, or etc). When you accomplish your voice being heard and taken seriously by yourself first, then you can strive toward academic professional/personal success in life!
