So today was THE day, the beggining of our battle to eliminate the budget cuts and to save our schools and education. I woke up this morning planning on simply going to class, going to work and then going to the march and ralley in San Francisco. However, I ended up filling in for Sean therefore I got to be more than just a follower, I was a leader as well as my friends Justin and Hawley.
The 3 of us didn't expect things would turn out the way they did but we are SO happy they did! There were so many supporters, professors and students taking a stand. Marching thru the halls yelling "WALK OUT , SPEAK OUT !", watching the live performances, hearing the speakers and marching to Warren Hall to give our list of demands to the president and not to mention the march to the Civic Center: none of this could've been done without the bravery of everyone who participated. If we keep this is up there is NO way we'll be ignored and change will come. This is not over yet, oh no, this is simply the beggining. On behalf of myself, Justin, Hawley, Sean and Ms. Susan Ingram we'd like to thank you for letting your voice be heard and for helping to fight against these budget cuts. You fought for students, teachers and professors ALL over California, not just yourself! Keep it up!
