Saturday, January 5, 2019 Vanessa Harvey, a Family Focus Dream Team Writer, won the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence Student Voices Contest for Poetry in her age group. The awards ceremony was held at Catalyst Ranch in downtown Chicago.
This is her poem:
I think the media plays a big role in gun violence saying bad things about people and cyber bullying. There’s a lot of school shootings There’s a lot of people going into schools and shooting people, even the teachers. When people hear about things that inspires people to start doing it, shooting in special places like a school, bank or a mall. Maybe people think it’s a sport or like it’s fun But maybe we can help, so try to stop it. Talk to people about it, because putting them in jail for a while doesn’t help. To stop it, put the gun down. by, Vanessa Udumbara Board President, Beth Jacobs is the Writing Facilitator Introduction to Meditation Are you interested in meditation?
