Krista Ramsey's Speech

Hey guys! So if you're in Mrs.Palmer's class, you know that Krista Ramsey, the columnist, came to the school and talked to a lot of 9th graders about what she does and shared some of the stories she wrote about. I think that one of the stories that I thought was really interesting was one where all of the victims and the witnesses and the accused were all 14. I was interested in it because I can relate to it because that would've been my peers and they were my age. I never really thought people my age were capable of murder like that. When she talked about it, I was so surprised and being the same age, that kind of stuff isn't on my mind.

A lot of stuff that she said, spoke to me. One of the quotes that I really liked was "We spend a lot of valuable time on awful people" I like this quote because it's the truth! We spend our time on people who aren't worth it. People who treat us like we're nothing are the ones we value the most and the ones we want to be with and around.It doesn't make sense but it's the total truth. Another quote that really kind of got my attention was "You have to develop your voice" I think that this quote is talking to everyone that has ever been shushed or put out. Find your voice!  I don't mean to be a cliché machine and sit here lecturing you on life lessons and all but I speak the truth. That's all I've got today. Peace.✌
