Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Ben and I live in MPLS, MN, and this seemed like a really cool program, so I wanted to join! Yay!

Why are you interested in Students Speak Out?

Because I get really passionate about issues that face schools today- everything from theft, gay- bashing, minority discrimination, etc., and I want somewhere to direct that energy in a constructive way.

In Memory of Lawrence King

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Check out the posts about milwaukee students. 2 different student groups are meeting with city leaders soon to discuss their ideas. It would be great to get that sort of thing happening in MN
