The last thing is pay attention to whats going on in the community. When you know whats going on. Then you can make a rational and sound judgment.

Just as I stated in the lasted section. I am important to pay attention to whats going on so that you can get involved and make a difference. Don’t feel as though your voice doesn’t matter or you won’t be heard. It is important to speak out on what you feel wrong or right. The last thing that I can see that important is to be your own voice.
