The Importance of us.

In digital design class on the twenty-ninth, we spent around half of our class discussing the events that occurred over the weekend. These event being the Kroger shooting in Louisville, the Synagogue shooting in Pittsburg, and the multiple pipe bombs delivered around the country.

As a class, we all gathered with the other half of the J&C magnet in Mr. Miller's room and had a very frank and open discussion about how we felt. 

I was really happy that as a group, we all came together to talk about the tragic events over the weekend. I like the idea that as a magnet, we can come together when huge events occur and feel safe to share how we feel, and what to do. 

We talked about what fueled these events, and things like, what actions have been taken by our government in recent times.

Something that really stuck with me was what Miss Palmer said about our generation. She talked about how much change we as a group have the potential to bring, and the power that we have. She also displayed to us her disgust for adults that blame us for things that their generation created. But I found it so beautiful that all the while during this talk to us, she seemed pretty emotional about the subject. I felt that in that moment, that I really fit in this magnet.

I find it so important that we as a generation use our power and voice to enact the change we want and wish to see in the world. I obviously then find it so incredibly awesome that our teachers really care and appreciate what we think and have to say. By giving us a platform in their classrooms to share how we feel, I really believe that it makes our class so much more interesting and very much more appealing and informative.
