When I was younger people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and when I told them I was already working on my dream, they'd laugh and tell me to wait till I grew up. I had already decided what I wanted to be: The voice of those who havent been heard. I had a very clear reason: Watching children in my country, Colombia, leave pencils and dreams to fight a war they didnt understand. I started writing when I was 4 and now that I am 19 I realize, I have proved those people wrong.

VOCAL is a student-run organization that advocates for and empowers those who are often considered voiceless. We work with the cooperation, knowledge and experience of these people to provide the logistical and financial resources necessary to improve their quality of life.
Our current project is to improve the quality of life for the residents of Waltham, a city that has become a second home to many students.

The Poetry Club at Hayfield Secondary School is meant to strengthen and nourish the understanding, passion, and confidence in the current young poets who attend. We create a way for teenagers in our proup to express themselves in a unique and constructive way. "Poetry Club" means only to create a way for the young community to find an outlet that they may not be able to obtain anywhere else. We do performances, sessions, and not to mention free food for ALL members.
