Humans of May River

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.

By Dakota G. from May River High School in South Carolina

John B is a junior here at May River and plans to become a mechanic when he grows up.  His favorite school memory includes going to football games and supporting our May River football team. Although one thing he is not the biggest fan about for this school is how strict some rules and people can be. This community is a little to quite and boring for him but he loves just going and driving in his new car named Benedict. Also  he has been able to meet his favorite people in the world Dakota and Kaelyn.

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.

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

Volunteering in your community has to do a lot with democracy. When you volunteer you vote a lot for your community and how you want to live your everyday life.

"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

"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."

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.

Liberty and Justice for all

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.

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.

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.

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.

Democracy

These May River students are voting on who has to buy Starbucks for the group next. “All in favor of John raise your hand” Because of this vote, John has to buy Starbucks next. Although John is not in favor of himself, the majority wins the vote.
