The DU Odyssey Community is a wonderful place full of creativity, opinion and talent. This community has been an incredible opportunity for a flourishing group of writers including myself. The commitment to write holds all of us accountable and assures me that this writing platform is a force to be reckoned with. Voices from all around the country can be heard, no matter the opinion or style.

Our University of Denver community has produced articles in the form of lists https://www.theodysseyonline.com/10-reasons-denver... , articles about life changing experiences https://www.theodysseyonline.com/cultural-stigma-t... articles inspiring personal acceptance https://www.theodysseyonline.com/no-makeup-march, articles in the form of letters https://www.theodysseyonline.com/aletter-to-my-you... and many many more, all of which were totally inspired by a self-driven dedication to this publication.

As a content creator you have the ability to write just about anything. You can share your political views, or report on a tragedy across the pond. You can bring creative writing skills into play with short stories or even a collection of poems. Odyssey is always searching for creators who wish for their voices to be heard in a open platform of expression.

Being a part of the Odyssey at DU has been an incredible experience. I have learned so much about myself and am continuing to do so. I have the ability to share what I wish with my readers which include family, friends and even strangers who happened to stumble upon my page.

I never thought I could be a part of something that has become so big and influential, but I was able to get involved in a big way in just a few months. The community I write with is strong and is creating change on a, quite frankly, national basis.

Odyssey is free speech at it's finest and I am proud to be a part of a diverse group of people from my school to produce great creations.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I love being part of the Odyssey community. It's like I've finally found a home for my writing.
