Have a great and productive week! Office Hours: 4: 05 -4: 35 If I have a voice, everyone will hear what I have to say. If I have a voice, I would be treated with more respect. Silent though I seem; I ask you to open your eyes. Look, look again at the expression on my face. Look, and look again. My expression says, I am human, I have rights. Treat me with respect, show me love, listen tome. Let the joys of my heart flow naturally.
