The office i work at on campus was apart of the Metro State Homecoming Decorating Completion 2009...we turned our office into a "homecoming dance". one of my favorite memories from Metro State is working hard with my office to decorate...which in turn caused us to win the 1st place in the decorating contest (a pizza pa...rty)....this picture below is of me and my friend (we both headed up the decorating committee) and a Rowdy cardboard cut-out we hand made in the office...we ALL worked VERY hard to make that life size Rowdy come alive and he still in our office today.

I had never heard of postsecret.com until Metro Student Activities hosted Frank Warren, who started this social experiment of anonymous secrets on postcards. I was very taken
by the idea & rushed home to see more of them. I found one that was pink with white polka dots & had black lettering saying: Instead of cutting my wrists I made this postcard. It haunted me & as a result I wrote a poem called "Cut." A young girl of 17
wrote on my poetry website that because of my poem she no longer cut on herself. I cried. Because Metro hosted this event & inspired my poem, a young woman found hope & strength to stop hurting herself. I have had other Metro students who have tearfully thanked me for this poem. I can think of no greater story than this to give credit to Metro's history!

Namaste'
