![]() In ISM, nothing amazing happened this week. Currently, I am preparing for my Original Work presentation that will be showcased next week. As a result, I postponed my future meeting with a team of engineers for later. However, I was given a great opportunity to be the voice of our school’s minority in a news story done by KERA. I met with Stella and Laura, a journalist and photographer for KERA. They were covering a story regarding diversity in public schools. Stacey wanted to get an opinion from officers of the Muslim Student Association (MSA). I am currently the coordinator of the organization, and I explained how muslims are welcomed every Friday to conglomerate into a classroom at 2:00 P.M. for a service. One of the most important facts I wanted to drive was that these students are given a privilege given to them by Principle Warstler, and it is those students’ responsibility to catch up with their own school work. I mentioned a previous ISM student’s final product from last year: Let’s Talk. This event was an hour long discussion on religion in the school auditorium, organized by Jay Schlaegel. The point of the event was to facilitate conversation amongst the MSA’s former president (and another ISM alumni, Shahir Ahmed), the Hindu Student Association’s president (Roshni Parikh), and the LHS Bible Study’s president (Jay Schlaegel). I wanted to promote events like this in hopes that healthy communication is always preserved among increasingly diverse cultures. Overall, it was a great interview and I hope great results come from that story. The art of communication is the language of leadership - James Humes
