in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys! I'm Emma, the new Youth Participation Officer at The Mix. I'll be working to organise different opportunities for young people as well as monitoring the boards and chat. I'm not new to The Mix though, I've been part of the Youth Voice Panel for a couple of years, making sure young people are heard within the charity and society. I aim to continue advocating this while in this role. 

I'm pretty new to the boards and chats so bare with me whilst I explore it all! Keep an eye out for some new threads I'll be putting out, popping up over the next few weeks. 

You'll see me around more, don't be shy to say hi! If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask! =)

    hi,
    I am Eddie, an internet freak and introvert dude with the least knowledge. I am quiet but have thunder laughs in my mind. I hope this community will accept me the way I am!

    Heya @Emma_ welcome!
    Hope you’re enjoying it!
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley
