Alright so this week I am having an open forum on diffrent cultures and relgions, I believe it is a great opportunity to get people together and to actualy have a conversation on diversity, however Today at lunch as i was trying to spread the world a 'friend' of mine Matt leroux told me how it was a waist of my time and that even though I tried I could not make a diffrence, and what he has said really brought me down because I do believe I can make a diffrence and its alright for him to think that but for him to be telling me I cant make a diffrence and my open forum will not have an impact really hurt me. anyways I just wanted to share this with you all and to let you know that it does make a diffrence and dont let people change your mind of bring you down as long as you believe in it, it will help people and let them open up to new things.

Re: Upset Re: open forum this week
Linds, you are already making a difference. By hosting an open forum about Diversity and Different cultures -you've identified a need in your community and you are taking action on something you believe in --that my friend IS making a difference!

People are going to say and do things that you may not agree with and they might try to take you off of your game -but you are stronger than that -hang in there and have an awesome time at your open forum this week-I look forward to hearing updates on my northern ontario neighbour Timmins.

I'm proud of you for holding and open forum on Different Cultures, Religions and Diversity!!

If it helps any - Bono, the lead singer of U2 and a great humanitarian is also one of the people most cut up for trying to help.

People like that guy tell people that they can't make a difference, not because they believe it doesn't matter but because they are afraid to put themselves out there or are just lazy. The only way for them to justify their fear and inaction is for them to say that it doesn't make a difference.

What you do does matter, you do make a difference and your open forum is going to go great!

I agree with the comments already made. YOU know you're making a difference. The fact that someone else was talking about cultural differences and your forum (even if he was speaking negatively about it) shows people are thinking about it. Have to recognize that it's an issue before it can be delt with...

Good luck with the forum! Blog about it! I want to hear how it goes.

Go grrrl!
Hi Lindsay,

It's admirable that you're 17 and so fresh-minded and willing to be a leader and a mediator. It means you've got a vision and a voice and believe in yourself. Keep doing what you're doing and others will eventually believe, too. Good luck with your forum, let us know how it goes!
