The ability to freely express your ideas is a key tool to have when it comes to today's society. If you have an idea, and you keep it in your head, and don't tell anyone, then that idea will essentially die with you. We are so lucky today that the internet allows us to connect, create, and express so easily. My motto in life is, "Never Stop Creating," which is something my favorite teacher told me on my high school graduation day, and is something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. We all have the ability to create, inspire, and change the something, whether it's changing a country, or changing one persons view of that country. No change is too small. There have been so many times in my life where I read something someone else had created that changed how I viewed something, and even if it did not change my opinion, it changed the light in which I saw the topic. The Odyssey is an amazing platform to share ideas, and I would love to create conversations, and share my viewpoints, while looking at others as well.
