Why I’m Here

I am the Street Team '08 rep for Kentucky!  I cover political and social issues around the state.  I am here because social awareness is so important and I believe that the youth of America can truly make a difference in the way our nation works. 

 

"Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up."  -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
