Red Cardinal's blog: "Me "

Sometimes I feel like a one woman crusade - I fight for people with special needs,  for ending rape culture, for the working poor,  for teachers/firefighters/police/paramedics,  for LGBT rights, and for the innocent children in the classrooms who are afraid to go to school - in the only way I know how - by educating people. That is my calling - as an educator. I can no longer do it in the classroom, but that does not mean I can no longer do it. It feels, though, like I am fighting a losing battle. I will not stop, for if those of us who fight, stop fighting for those who have no voices, then who will fight for them?

Change is not easy and does not happen unless we voice our opinions and educate others on the reason for the need for change. I am ok with educating others - I just wish people would at least be mindful of other people's rights and feelings. Those are the main issues I fight for. I fight for a better society - one that can live in harmony. A peaceful society - It seems counterintuitive to have to "fight" for peace, but that seems to be the norm throughout history. As much as it gets me uptight and frustrated, I guess I have not choice. I know my place in this world is to try to make a difference by making it a better place to live - so fight I will.
