This line is meaningful to me because it gives me hope that this world will soon be better than what it is now and to let everyone know that nothing, not even the world itself, is perfect but it has a purpose.

This line is meaningful to me because you can be staying quiet, and still be dying to tell someone what's on your mind.

This is very meaningful to me because some people could have a lot on their mind and if they spoke up and told someone they could resolve a problem or could make them feel way better about themselves when they finally speak out. Speaking up to anyone could change the situation drastically.

These lines spoke to me because of the fact that especially in these times, we need to learn to accept one another despite the differences. We are all human, we are all the same, and we should all be treated with equality. 2020 has been a year of trying to find equality for all and I think having this line in the poem sets off the message of that.

I think this line really spoke to me because it relates to so many things that have been going on in the world, and she doesn’t specify exactly what event shes talking about, and so you can relate it to so many things that have been happening in the world.

I liked this because it says that we have gone through the worst and also that just because you be quiet about something that does not make it go away.

This line spoke to me that sharing your opinion to others can help some bigger problems than if you keep your problems to your self.

The reason why this is meaningful to me is because, when I think of America I do not think of 1 or 2 races I think of all races coming together.

"For while we have our eyes on the future; history has its eyes on us"

This line is meaningful to me because I feel like this line is a very true statement. This is a true statement in my opinion because current events like the massive outbreak on police brutality and Covid 19 are being watched and will be documented into history books sometime during our existence on Earth.

this one speaks to me because if you don't speak out for others no one will speak out for you.

"We have learned that quite isn't always peace..."

This line is so meaningful because quite isn't always peace, because people can be hurt silently. Even though it is quiet, people could still be suffering.
This connects to life, because just because everyone are quite doesn't mean bad feelings aren't brewing.

This is important to me that we should not be afraid to do anything but the classes that we have to respond quickly instead of concealing our fears.

I think it got to me because this divided country is speaking though acts of violence instead of using diplomacy

This means to me that sometimes the best thing you can do is speak up. It means that sometimes being quiet won't fix anything or it may make thing worse.

"We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside"

# data[].attributes.body
This quote is meaningful to me because it tells me we should put our future first so we can change our wrongs from the past. By looking at this quote, I think Amanda thinks there are many wrongs that have happened in our country and that we should focus on the future to make a change. I also think it develops a theme in the poem, that we should focus on the future to make a change.

"...if only we’re brave enough to see it, If only we’re brave enough to be it..."

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is important because a lot of people when they see/hear bad things their mind goes to a place that says no that can't be happening. No that's not possible therefore it's not there. But if we are brave enough to see it and hear it. And if we are able to accept that it is there and it is happening then we will be able to act upon it and act towards it. We will be brave enough to be the best us we are able to be.

This line is meaningful to me because my family came to America and looked forward to the future almost 17 years ago and I came not shorty after. Even though we are long gone from my country (Macedonia) we still speak the language and "history has its eyes on us" even though we are looking to the future.
