Lost Cause?

I'll start this off with a little bit of very vague background information.

The main point of the situation is three-fold:
1) A decision was made.
2) This decision has an effect on myself and my peers.
3) I have written a petition with the hope of reversing said decision.

Is it a lost cause? Perhaps. But who knows what will happen unless one TRIES? When I walk across that stage, whether it be in December (if things happen to work out) or in June next year (if things don't happen to work out), I WILL know this:

I stood up for my beliefs and TRIED to do something about it. 

Back in October, I wrote about "trying" (in regard to a different situation) and I can say that I'm glad that I have taken my own advice. (Click here to read the post!) In the past, I tended be on the slightly quieter end of the spectrum. Because of this, I have been working on being assertive, holding my ground, and speaking up for myself--so to me, this is a pretty big step that took a considerable amount of thought and courage. 

I know there are people out there who may not agree with me--and I truly respect their opinion. I understand that this whole attempt has a chance of failing--and if that happens, I will accept that. I know that there are people out there who agree with me--and I truly appreciate their support. I understand that there is a chance of success--and if that happens, I will be one happy camper...although in some sense, putting the petition out there is a success in and of itself!

In any case, here's to hoping for the best! :)


Peace. Love. Happiness.
