My first victory and my first campaign against age discrimination. My first chance at being on TV and they never mentioned me! But… I only have myself to blame. It was a gorgeous spring day, and I had less than a month of school left in my senior year and… I wasn’t there when the […]
This was my first action as a youth rights advocate way back during my senior year in high school. This was April 21, 1999 (yes, one day after Columbine). Look at my pony tail, ah! I was speaking out against age discrimination at three local businesses in my hometown of Holland, Michigan who had policies […]

Demonstrating some skill, or knowing some fact, to make yourself look better. Finding activities or conversation topics that make yourself […]
Sad and funny at the same time.
Call it the “War on Christmas” or call it political correctness run amok, or perhaps assume that this reletively minor holiday next week just slipped their mind, but this is absolutely ridiculous.
