"May River helped me realize I could pursue my dream career in art, my final I painted in my art 2 class got put in a art gallery. That made me feel like a real artist, and made me realize my five years of practicing was worth something."- DR

The Scary Truth of Democracy

The power of even one vote can sway the decision of all, half of the people will always be unsatisfied that is what terrifies me. Morality that respects democracy shatters then they the go against the fold with anger and rage.

This student is one of many that love to wear there favorite sweatshirt to school. With cold mornings and chilly classrooms there is nothing like wearing your best sweater to keep you toasty while in class.

This is a picture of me in Denver, Colorado on 1/22/21. This picture shows a feeling of being free and the background represents my future and all I have to still see and look forward to.

My view on democracy.

Our Democracy

In my post I talked about what I feel like democracy illustrates as in the picture I picked out on as an example.

Our Democracy

Some may ask how this picture signifies democracy. To me its very clear. democracy to me is the freedom to choose what to do with my life and time. If I want to game and eat chips that is what I will do, and because of democracy I can do that.

Jess- I’m connected through the school and friends. I’ve been a part of the community since late summer.The community has many different people, it’s large and some people are rowdy, but many are nice. I’m proud of facing changes.

"I have been a part of the community since I was born, I've watched as it has rapidly grown throughout the years". With that "I would like to be remembered for supporting those in the community who feel they don't have a voice in our community."

Democracy to Me

Have it your way. This picture was taken in 8903 South Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28273 in August 7, 2015. Democracy to me is how free we are, to go different paths and able to think differently, begin able to get a set limit only if we limit ourselves.

As some may stand for the pledge and others may just sit down. And few might even support, but still not get up, why? One’s opinions should not affect us, but how come we feel offended if one person doesn't share the same faith as we do.

For the Humans of May River project I interviewed my classmate John B. He has been a student here for three years now and has shared with me his views on life as a student here. He has shared his likes and dislikes and how he sees the community.

Democracy to me

This picture was taken in downtown San Luis Potosi Mexico in late July. Democracy to me is seeing how different we all really are and how we are all free to live completely different lives and go in very different life directions.

I am a tough cookie.

With her daughter going to May River, a good school that can teach you proper education, she has realized she is giving her the life she's never had. She is proud of what “she created”, and what the community influences is helping raise her daughter.

Our Democracy

True democracy is a great goal, of course everyone wants to have an equal say, but in practice there is still injustice. Not everyone has the same size straw, and some don't even have a drink, so to say.

Democracy to Me

This photo is a picture of my friend working at school. This represents our right to an education. Our right to an education represents democracy and it's meaning. Published: November 17,2021

I took this at a show last year. I feel like this image accurately represents democracy because we have the opportunity to still do things that make us happy and enjoy the company of our friends while still maintaining the safety of those around us.

What is Democracy?

For this post I am using my rings to represent the freedom of self-expression. I use these rings to add emphasis to my hands and to express myself. This also helps to keep my individuality. Freedom of expression is very important to me and my life.
