Engagement Day

On the first day when we met the ACLU and Professor Lopez I was very eager and excited. I felt as if I were in a classroom with people who for the first time were all passionate about something I was extremely passionate about. I knew I had signed up for the right class when the opening song was "Get Up Stand Up" by Bob Marley. I have been a huge reggae fan my entire life and there are many bands and artists who deliver political statements in their music that are very empowering. The ACLU discussed many issues that I am passionate about and even gave a number of resources to be involved and to raise awareness. I also had felt a connection to Professor Lopez because I felt we were brought up the same way and had simialr views.
