Today class was amagzing in freshmen seminar!! My instructor had her friday class come sit in and join her monday (my) class because the author and the direct publisher of the book “What Would The World Be Without Women: Stories From The 9th Ward” were our guest speakers. Yes, that’s right, Waukesha Jackson the author was speaking in our class today about her book and the Neighborhood Story Project publisher director came as well. They gave the insights and encouraging words of wisdom for writing. It was very interesting to hear what she had to say and felt about the book as well. I even got my book sign too. (lol)
But to stay focus on the blog of what I’m orginally suppose to be answering is now that I know my voice can be heard, how can I use it to change the world. That’s a good question being asked honestly. I think of it as the younger generation and mines are the voices of the world. We can change it and be heard even with the little things we do. With Waukesha Jackson it’s a proven fact that what younger people have to say do matter and will be heard in the world some how. If it’s throught music, writing, videos, or what ever; It will be known. Just by saying all this, my voice will be heard, prime example…blogging. There’s not to much more I can say about getting my voice heard in the world right now, except just try my hardest to be heard and notice in the world. And have the mind frame my voice will NEVER be heard, buts that’s not true. I have many people to thank for opening up my eyes that I can make a difference.
peace,
I’m out
