Take chances. Raise your hand. Be heard. Be wise. Stand up for what you believe in. Just because your the only one, doesnt mean its not worth standing up for it. When you feel something deep in your heart(no matter what it is)It is wonderful when you bring out and let the world know what you are thinking. Getting comfortable with yourself and your feelings is great. It really nice when you love yourself and know who you are. When you have atleast a sence of what you stand for and who you are, great things begin to happen. Believing in yourself is the KEY to your MAP. Bleiveing in yourself is the key to your SUCCESS. Without the key the map is just something on paper.

"LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING...
If someone prays for patience, you think GOD gives them patience? Or does he give them the OPPURTUNITY to be patient?
If they prayed for courage, does GOD give them courage? Or does he give them the OPPURTUNITY to be courageous?
If someone prays for the family to be closer, you think GOD zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them OPPURTUNITIES to love eachother?"

This scene is so powerful. What is said means so much to me and really makes you think about it in every way possible. Makes you think if you took advantage in life. If you really tried your hardest in every situation. If you think about if you really do have oppurtunities in life. And we do. We all have oppurtunities to take advantage of.
In life were not given anything really. However were given the oppurtunity to study what we would like. Take the train or bus. Walk or run. Fill out applications or not. Go for what you believe in or sit on your BUTT all day and complain about how you have nothing left.
Make phone calls. Talk to different people. Find out whats going on in your neighborhood. Get involved. Believe in yourself. Fight in a respectful manner and change will form its place. Yestuday The Renaissance Charter School did. [Which is my school]
We were making commitments and taking action, emailing government officials, making fliers/ informations sheets, poster making, making chants, and finally taking action and walking the streets getting our voices heard...
