~:[CH11 - Day 291]:~ Voice of Change
When do we use our voice? Often times we can keep things under wrap and deal with it, when in fact it would be more healthy to express our thoughts and opinions and at other times, it may have been better to keep something to ourselves. Knowing when to use your voice is important in life and it's something that I have to encounter daily as I think about what I should say and when. Rolling back into rhythm, I faced a busy day right when I got back with class, the newsletter, practice and Nationals tryouts. As I listed to the students speak, I thought about how much they have grown from freshman year, but also thought about, how do they use their voice? Especially as students, it's easy to use your voice in the wrong way, however, in an academic settings, time after time, I am proud of how many of these students use their voice to speak up for what they believe in or to guide others as leaders. At times, they need to learn how to use their voice and when, but that comes with experience and even then, I don't know if many will ever master that art. In the end, I hope that their voices are used for good as in this world filled with so much hate and divisiveness, I hope they'll use their voices to bring people together and lift those around of them up. We definitely need change in this world and I just hope that these young adults can be the voice of change for this next generation.
