Allison’s Anecdotes

I needed to sit and listen to the musical selection today.  ”One voice.”  There’s power in that statement.

 After we all generated our list of problems — and the lists are not complete by any means — it’s easy to become overwhelmed or apathetic or disinterested considering all of the problems that do exist in a given arena.  But then I hear “one voice.”

What if one voice really did have power to effect change?

What if one voice was capable of surmounting obstacles, rejecting the status quo, and refusing to be silent?

All of us have one voice — an individual moment, chance, opportunity to make a difference.  Perhaps by remembering and reawakening our voices, we will gain vision and clarity — the ability to solve not all of the problems, but maybe the ones to which we feel personally called, personally inspired.  

The body is made up of many parts and each part has a specific role that only that part can fill.  If we can recognize our parts, our voices, maybe then the students we teach can follow our example and recognize theirs… and then maybe, our unique voices can come together.
