Theme: White Noise

White Noise: a noise containing many frequencies with equal intensities.
As youth we are often unheard, often ignored, often kept in the background. We as a generation have our differences defining us. We each have our frequency, we each share the intense desire to be heard.
Many times, we see certain established ideas dividing us, classifying us in certain groups. This kind of thinking is not something that will help us keep up with this ever-expanding world of ours-- with technology bustling, research blooming, and social reforms bursting forth.
Let us be heard. Allow our fresh frequencies to collide; allow young individual minds to clash with one another and create a noise-- a voice.
Let us transcend the traditional and bring this white noise to the main stage. This wave will not disappoint.
