Our freshmen seminar instructor prepared her students for getting our voices heard out in the world. We had people come talk to us from the Beyond Jena Forum, the author and publisher of the current book we just got through from reading “What Would The World Be Without Women: Stories From The 9th Ward”to give us there insight of how to get your voice heard out. Each one of them came with encouragement, confidence,and support for each and everyone of us who attended.
So now it’s bout time to go out in the world to share and give back to the community that I live in and take my time out on March 28, 2009 to attend a Service-learning Project with youth from the Volunteers of America. This gives me the time to make a difference and be a role model to some one who’s way younger than me, who doesn’t really have anyone to give them guideance. So me personally, taking ever thing the guest speakers gave to us I’m going to twist it up and make it more easily understandable to the individual I have. And let them know that it doesn’t matter how old you are, you can make a difference and be seen in the world that we live in.
To give a brief message but important points:
1.)Don’t be someone or something you are not( BE YOUR SELF)
2.) Education (FIRST)
3.)Don’t worry about what others say about you
4.) Enjoy life
5.)Make a difference in the world
Also,You have to remember that with your voice being heard you make a difference, you can be a more than just a somebody, and someday you will have someone look up to like a role model.
