English teacher Ms. Hederian believes that the key to feeling empowered is expressing oneself. “It all comes down to voice. Voice, voice, voice. You have to recognize that your perspective is a unique one and it has a right to be heard. It may not be that you stand completely alone because I remember in high school somebody told me, ‘You should voice your opinion because until you do, you don’t know if there are ten other people in the room who agree with you.’ I think that having some confidence in your own perspective and speaking it more often and validating your own voice is really empowering. Too often we feel shut down or silenced, so being empowered means you respectfully voice your opinions about things.”
