The Little Voice

Women have been struggling for rights and a voice in the community for hundreds of years. Even today women are often not seen on the same level as men.

I understood that many of the kids at my high school wouldn't completely understand until they experienced. But I hoped my voice would at least get them thinking about the things they said.

their car was sideswiped by a semi-trailer, that little girl’s perfect puzzle was shaken upside down, with her the only survivor. A train covered in graffiti, approached the station with a loud squeal as it stopped, passengers aboard the train with squeaks in every movement.

The train filled with the sound of occasional voices and noises from the outside but nothing more.The

Instead, his eyes drifted towards the ground. A cold voice echoed from the side of the warm voice, "I'll make it easier for you to remember.

Okay Eleanor?” I was wondering how this, voice, knew my name. I never even mentioned my name around him, let alone anyone. “Okay...voice, but in the future what can I call you?” I couldn’t believe I wanted to give a stupid voice that controls me a name. “Me? You want to give me a name?” The voice told me with a surprised tone. “Yes...I know it’s
