July 23 Question 1: INVISIBLE
At my highschool and many highschools around the country a organization called Invisible Children brought awareness to us about the happenings in Uganda because no one was aware of the struggles,poverty and their voices were never heard. Does anyone in the class feel like their invisible or that their voice is not able to be heard?

No i feel that everyone pretty much listen and in attentive and is supportive of my ideas and contributions. I feel like i have a really heard voice in the class not just when everyone is quiet.On the other hand i think that some people in the class are really quiet and i would like to hear more contributions from a few of you. I pretty much feel that i have a good view on everyones personality though!
ReplyDeleteI do not feel that I am invisible or not heard. I think I have a voice I just chose when to use it. It's not that I feel like no one will listen I just tend to be shy around new people.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone is heard. No body is invisible because every time someone talks, theres someone to hear them. Some people in class are quiet but thats obviously by choice. I'm quiet when i want to be because english is not my favorite thing in the world by any means. I talk most of the time. Some people sit back and let others contribute to the class. or maybe they are uncomfortable sharing things with the class. who knows.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel invisible in class to like the max, but I do feel some of my other classmates are more vocal than I am. I think because I don't voice my opions a lot, some of them don't know my full potential or my personality I notice also that a lot of my classmates are really quiet and don't say much of anything. I would like to hear more from them because just maybe I have something in common with them and it could build a better bond for us all in the room. But other than that everything seems fine. Did find that their assumption of another classmate was wrong now that we've spent time together?
ReplyDeleteI dont feel like I am invisible and participate when I can. If I feel I need to let my voice be heard I will express my opinion. Sometimes in certain situations annyone wish they were invisible?
ReplyDeletei do not feel invisible but at the same time i know that i kind of dont want to be heard. at times i worry bout offending people and choose not to say anything at all.alot of people are very closeminded.does anyone keep to themself so they wont offend anyone else?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel like i'm not heard. I don't know if it's becasue people don't hear me or it's something else. Then i do get heard sometimes. It's really weird, i just don't know what it is. I think a lot of people feel left out sometimes. What would you do to get heard or noticed?
ReplyDeleteno i do not feel invisible or anything. i feel that we are all getting along fine and we have to respect for each other to listen to one another. BUT!!! if anyone wants to learn more about the Invisible Children project go here:

No, I think I'm pretty noticeable when I want to be. I used to feel that way on high school sometimes but I've come to realize that life is what you make it, so if you want to be noticed then you can get people to notice you. It's not always and some people aren't outgoing like that but it's all good, and if you're not then you should embrace who you are.
ReplyDeleteSometime I feel like that. I think that since I am the type that just likes to coast and go with the flow, that I might have missed out on a lot of opputunities, so I am trying to better myself so that my voice will be heard, whether people like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone in bridge is really supportive. I can admit that I am very quiet, but it's not because im uncomfortable with anyone in class because everyone seems very friendly. I'm just a very reserved person and it takes time for me to open up and get use to a different people. We are all here in essence for the same reason and i know that is always something we can all agree with right??
ReplyDeleteI agree with k.o. sometimes I am afraid that people will take things the wrong way and get offended. I don't want to upset anyone if they are close minded. I would rather just keep my mouth shut then offend someone.
ReplyDeleteNot at all I feel like my voice is heard threw out the land. If people speak up and adress wat they feel is needed to be heard. Then people will hear your point of views even though they might not like them. With that being said I think everyone should have a voice and speak up when they got something important to say.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jen & k.o. because that is why I don't talk as much in class or add my input often because I don't want no one to think I'm evil or attacking them. I never want to make another umcomfortable with something I said or did so I try to hold back somethings.
ReplyDeleteI had problems with my father, because of my major. I have always dreamed of majoring in dance, but he never agreed. In this point of my life i felt frustated, because the least that i expected from him was support. Yet, he didnt listen and I felt like he didn't care. I realized that even if he didn't support me with my dream, I could still achieve it. It would make things harder but not impossible. Have you had trouble with your family bacause of what you want to study?
ReplyDeleteYes Letty I've had trouble with my parents, they didn't want me majoring in music at all, and they didn't want me at columbia and eventually my mom was convinced although my pops doesn't really care for this school at all
ReplyDeletemy parents have always supported me with music. they'd buy me whatever i needed to expand my music. and when i was too young to drive myself to my shows they always took me and hung out in the back of the venue and watched. i think my parents are very proud of my talents. although sometimes i get the feel my dad wants me to do something like be a doctor or something that makes a lot of money haha. he still supports whatever it is that i want to do.
ReplyDeletehows everyone elses parents feeling about their major?
Actually me and my father don't speak as much because he thinks I'm wasting my time on Journalism. He wanted his daughter to be in some medical field or studying law. I don't like either. He said that "it was a children's study and I need to think future". It hurt real bad to know he didn't support me nor think I was good enough to become a Journalist. But I'm doinng my best for me but also to make him see that no matter what I do if I'm doin my best he should be proud!
ReplyDeleteletty...i have the same issue...except with my mom. she loves that im in love with musical theatre and she loves that i made a hobby out of it. but thats all she really wanted me to do with it. was leave it at a hobby. she keeps telling me that i need a stable career where i can make money and make a life for myself. i understand where she's coming from cause she sacrificed her dreams to work and raise a family. but she doesnt understand that musical theatre to me is my life... and im sure dancing is your life. do you think your dad has the same reasonings as my mom?
ReplyDeleteI didn't have any trouble talking about my major. I did it for all my 4 years in high school. The hard thing for me was, i want to major in two things. I had to figure out with one i wanted to do first.
ReplyDeleteYes my parents didn't and don't approve of me coming here. They are convinced that since it is in the city and I'll be living here that i'll be out partying more than being mature. They also don't support what I do because I messed up in highschool so bad, so they are scared I'll mess up here as well. It's annoying that they don't support my decisions but it makes me want to do even better to prove them wrong.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! Me too i wanted to major in cosmetology with makeup and like work with celebrities and travel all around the world. My parents said that i would not make it that far in the business.But i mean i do proms, i o stage makeup, i have a huge make up bag, and i have like urges to do makeup, its my passion. Why wouldnt i make it far but parents will be parents will be parents and here i am now at columbia....GOOD GREEF!
