Calling all LTHS students who want to make a change at school.

If you don't know who I am, my name is Kiley Seivert. I'm a senior at LTHS. I'm the girl who hung all the post-it notes in the bathroom. I know that it made an impact on you students, and staff, and that makes me so incredibly happy.

When I found out all the notes had been removed, I'll be honest with you, I was mad. Incredibly mad, in fact. I wanted to drop out of the school because I was so disappointed in LTHS. Later on I realized how ridiculous that was, and decided on coming back bigger than before.

I didn't know how.

I didn't want to cause damage, I didn't want to make a mess. I didn't want to do something that would make someone's else's (management staff) job harder than it should be.

I also didn't want to get myself, or any of the students who volunteered to help me, in any trouble.

My original project had been based around girls, mostly because not only am I one, but because by age thirteen, 53 percent of American girls are unhappy with their bodies, and by age seventeen, that number is 78 percent.

I had many people come to me wanting to help and giving ideas, but none of them seemed quite right, so I kind of backed off.

Until today, Friday the 20th of January.

I met with the assistant principal today.

He told me that he greatly appreciated my gesture, and he wanted me to know that they weren't removed in negativity. The school doesn't really like to hang things in the bathrooms, and if he had allowed me to keep them hung up unapproved, he would have to allow everything to be hung up unapproved.

I respect that, and I am thankful that he took the time to come to me and talk.

He also told me that if I had any further projects, to come to him and he would approve them.

And so, here I am.

To everyone who was impacted by the project, find me.

It doesn't matter if you are male, female, straight, gay, bi, a freshman, a senior, a quiet sophomore, find me.

If you want to make a difference at LTHS, find me.

Whether you come to me physically or find me through social media, find me.

I told you I'm coming back, and this time it's going to be bigger and better than ever.

Spread it like wildfire.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
