A collection of Justine's artwork
Expression is essential to everyone. It allows one to be who
she really is and vent when necessary. It can be difficult to find your voice
with so many opinions pressing on you and the thought of people judging you at
every moment. At Notre Dame Academy however, teachers allow for free thought
and encourage students to express themselves, whether it‘s through writing or
art, or just speaking and participating in class. Some students take it upon
themselves and reach outside the classroom to a broader audience. So, where do
you find your voice?
Junior Justine uses art as a way to express herself. “I love being able to work in the art studio every day. My art really expresses my personality and who I am.” The accessibility of the art studio and willingness of Mr. B and Mr. F to accommodate any student make expression easier for those who find their niche in artwork.
Junior Katherine uses anonymous blogging on Tumblr to speak her mind. “If you want to know about my angst-filled teen years, look at my blog.” One can be expressive and vent her feelings without being judged.
Junior Jacqueline participates in heated debates and discussions in theology classes. She not only informs classmates about world issues, but encourages others to challenge her and express their own opinions. “I find that I am able to express my opinion and have my voice heard without judgment in theology class where we explore important issues with an open mind. While engaging in passionate discussions about women‘s rights and issues, the classroom becomes a more exciting learning environment.

I tend to keep things inside of myself, however I wish I had an outlet where I could express my feelings like the girls mentioned in the article did.
