I love the idea of writing for the Odyssey because it allows people an outlet for their ideas an opinions. I'm a fairly introverted person, so sometimes I feel like it is difficult to share my opinions with the world and the Odyssey gives me a space to do so. I am in love the Austin College Community and want to learn more about its people through writing and reading. By writing for the Odyssey, I want to make people think outside of their own little worlds and realize that there is an entire world full of billions of other people around us. Closed-mindedness is still a problem (even though it is the 21st century) and my hope is that through The Odyssey, together we can create a safe, open environment for people to share their thoughts.
