yo firecracker: no. nothing.
yo firecracker: i'm so. pissed. off.
yo firecracker: i can't
yo firecracker: no, i'm not pissed. i'm frustrated
yo firecracker: to the point where i can't make myself focus on the fact that i am a senior, that i am going to graduate eventually, that i am in a decent school.
So I'm frustrated. I can't help it. And I don't know what to do about it. I know there are a million things I could do, but to be perfectly honest, there's no way I could get up at a board meeting and speak. There's no way I could handle that. I'm not mature enough to get up in front of those people and speak in a coherent, mature or calm manner. I'd absolutely explode. This is why I commend all the adults and students who have the power inside them to speak their minds effectively. It's unbelievable, the weakness I feel when I try to stand up for what I feel, or think about doing so. And it hurts. I know we're all hurting from this. I'm just in disbelief at the way our senior year is being ripped apart. Nothing's working.

Angee, I want to make you feel like you can do this. Your words and your feelings are yours, and thus different from mine--and my Lina, that is precisely why you can't simply allow other people to speak for you.
I listen to you and I listen to Jenna. Intelligent, frustrated people, you must be heard. I'd do anything to get either of you up on that lectern--sit in the audience, walk up with you and hold your hands, engage Currie in a rousing rendition of an Austrian polka while you make your respective points.
And if I can't motivate you, let a teacher motivate you. And if (s)he can't motivate you, motivate yourself. Try to look at this with the perspective of futureangee. I think you would regret not speaking up for yourself. And you know I'm always here to speak for you--but someday, will that be enough?
i think you can do it if you really try. Ms.Shelby Sophie K-F spits the truth.
