When people are in grief, making something like this is the last thing on their minds.

They are no more distracting to drivers than talking on a cell phone, reading street signs or eating.

This is something that many families feel is needed when a loved one dies like that. It's part of the grieving process for them.

Whatever you do, don’t feel sorry for me. I know it’s the best you can do. Life hasn’t hit you in your perfect little bubble yet. Please don’t try to understand. Nobody can. No one knows what it’s like to be me, except others like me. You’re making me pissed. You’re making me feel bad. Stop reminding me that I have no life. I don’t care about your prom. Yes, I know I haven’t talked to you in a while. NO, I’m not ignoring you, but it’s not exactly like you’ve been calling me either. I just haven’t been feeling well lately. I’m tired and my body is aching all over. It’s hurting all the time. I can barely move when it rains, and some days I just don’t want to do anything. SHUT UP.

When you're marching, people see how many are there. And those who may not have joined in lose their fear and the march grows as it goes.

Not many people in the arts get this scholarship so I feel extremely blessed to have been given this opportunity.
