What's bothering me the most is that instead of "being the change you want to see" and showing some perseverance in being change agents within their organizations, most of the students speaking to the media are just advocating for abolishment. If you want to be a change agent, I'm your champion...I'll teach you what I know, I'll support you when you've latched onto a worthy initiative, and I'll listen to your frustrations. If you want to be a "quitter" after a few weeks or a couple years in a GLO, then I'm afraid I have to say there are a lot of older sisters and brothers who have seen and experienced a lot more than you have, who know much more about our histories, and there's much more to be gained by sticking around, listening, engaging, and lending your voice than there is by casting aspersions and walking out the door.
