I used to be that girl who sat in the back of the class comfortably watching and not participating.
I used to be that girl who was ok with not speaking up and having a voice.
I used to be that girl who wished for so much but thought it couldn't be.
I was that girl!
But as time has a way of making changes happen, I no longer wanted to be
" that girl".
I no longer wanted to go unnoticed.
I no longer was willing to not have a voice.
I no longer accepted that things couldn't be for me.
I now am heard by all of you through my words and I've pledged to  make a difference.
Nothing  now is  impossible because you believe in me.
To go through life as a passerby is such a waste of time. Wake up take a stance. Do what is right not what is easy
