The Struggling Power Of Protest
wikipedia

It begins with the initiation of conversation. The power of conversation is undermined so often and yet it defies the phrase, "the sky is the limit". It's power binds all races, genders, faiths into one family consisted of simple humans fighting like superheros through nonviolent resistance. Through such movements, individual minds grasp the world's internal battles through the roaring, the shouting, the clamoring.

Taking initiative for justice is many times stronger than the denial of reality in which we imprison ourselves to silent thoughts and chain our conscience to the steel bars inside the mind. What will it take to abandon ignorance and be more aware and knowledgeable of our nation?

As kids, we educate ourselves to be knowledgeable of our democracy's function in our lives, and with that we're aware of the people's amendments. Even then, we fail to muster our freedom of speech to voice our suffering in the many moments our nation is drowning.

Did you forget that we are our own military?

I don't recall an instance where sympathy booked the next plane to shower it's light among the struggling. I hope, instead of sympathy, you increase your loyalty, your sensibility, your energy. I challenge you to walk a mile in the shoes of an activist and use the forces of rebellions to take the opportunity for action.

Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.
