To Be Heard

If you are looking for inspiration as you define your future, then make a point to watch To Be Heard, the story of three teens from the South Bronx struggling to change their lives through writing and performing poetry, using this creativity to change their circumstances.

The film opens with the quote:

"If you don't learn to write your own life story, someone else will write it for you."
This is the truth. We are each responsible for our own destiny. We have the power to make changes and if we choose not to make these changes, we at least have the power to control how we react to our circumstances. I found parallels to my own life while watching this film - it applies to all of us.
