My tumblr topic has to do with youth activism or getting students involved with some kind of social action. Are students in your school involved in any way in anything like this?
iloveangel2008: Well I do recall this year that our students went with teacher's to rally's in reference to the school budget cuts.
they seemed very involved with making banners and creating speeches

iloveangel2008: I don't think so. I do know that I will be involved in peer mediation with a group of students and thats something that definitely involves confidence.
me: I'm impressed that students helped out with the teacher's rally. I didn't get to go so I don't know if any of our students went.
iloveangel2008: there were many students there in fact.

In my son’s high school, there is a youth group section of Amnesty International (A.I.). There...

Myself:
1. How can I be more satisfied with anything and everything?
2. How can I always say the “right” thing or is that really possible?
3. How can I be more involved with polical groups like Concerned Families of Westchester and WESPAC so that I feel like I’m really contributing something?
4. Should I become more involved with working for the Obama campaign and how...
