Hey Friends!

Well, the Texas heat is something fierce! But the Burleson MYC is working hard. We are currently switching over to the new year with 8 new council members. We are very excited to be starting a new year with fresh faces and ideas. Our first project as a group will be identifying the major key issue facing teens in our city and what we can do to help eliminate it. Previously, we visited the state capitol to talk with state representatives and congressmen. It was a very educational experience and we definitely felt more connected to how the state works with individual cities, as well as regions. They respected our opinions and listened very closely to what we had to say. This gave us courage to keep pressing onward because our voices will be heard! One person can make the difference. You just have to keep talking until someone listens. Never forget: EVERY OPINION COUNTS. 

So what do YOU think? Do adults really listen to the youth? 

Peace.Love.Caitlan.
