Theme Writing
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the end of the world.
Psalm 19:3-4
We got our theme at leadership camp in 7th grade. We each got into groups of about 6-10 and we searched the bible for a good verse, then we came back and voted on one and then once we each had one the whole grade got together and we voted on one of the group’s themes and we ended up choosing Shout Silently. As an 8th grader I can use our theme when I am at school and when I’m not at school.
When I’m at school I can talk to younger kids and and make them feel like we think they’re cool. I could give them a high five, I could encourage others during certain events, or I could do something that no one told me to do even though I don’t have to and those are just some of the things.
When I’m not at school and out in the world, some ways I can shout silently is putting others before me. I can hold the door open. I can be nice. (I know its cheesy but its like rule #1.) And when I’m playing sports, even if my team is winning I should still respect the other team and not look down on them. As an 8th grader I can use our theme when I am at school and when I’m not at school.
As an 8th grader I can use our theme when I am at school and when I’m not at school. I really like our theme. Before I didn’t really like it but now I’m starting to like it more. It challenges us to act right not just say things right. Before I didn’t really like it but now I’m starting to like it more.
