Welcome to the list, Becky!
Don't be afraid to speak out, there are quite a few "dumb" high school
students. (I am a dumb university student.) Just because you are young
and have read less than other people doesn't mean you have nothing
worthwhile to say.
C'mon girl, shake the oldies up a bit! It's the only way we're ever
gonna learn to think for ourselves.
Enjoy!
Love, Lucy-Ruth
