  Kate,
 
  I agree with Amy, I hope their are more young people like yourself out there. Your story was quite touching. I've got you by about five years your senior, and I know I've only sang in unison with men once, and that wasn't a happy time. It was 'Taps', for a fallen buddy.
 
  'Taps, Taps, may peace and tranquility remain among the soldiers of the Regiment."
 
  They used to say that every night before firewatch.
 
    Anyway, I digress, I wanted you to know that I think it is great that you've found a group of friends and have some people to turn to. By singing that song, you don't realize it, but you've sent an arrow into the heavens and have honoured your friend. He appreciates that, and he knows that you have 'lent your voices only to the sound of freedom.'
 
  God bless you.
 
    "TAPS"
 
        Ole Jonesy

Kate,
Your post made me teary-eyed. Thanks!

Call me young or naive (aren't they the same thing?),

No, they arent. They do tend to go together but
certainly are not the same thing. 

Kate wrote "And if you really want change, sometimes
that someone has to be you. Human beings tend to spend
far too  much time complaining about the state of the
world and not enough time fighting  for it. Apathy is
our disease and our escape. Day by day, moment by
moment, nothing ever changes. We just assume that we
can't save the world because that's  what we've been
taught. We hate the monotony of our lives and yet we
do nothing  to escape it. But.. we can. One person can
change the world, one voice can make the difference."
 
"... I guess that  everyone needs a dream. And out of
all the dreams in the world, I think that  
believing that sometimes, if someone fights hard
enough, they can overcome the  darkness of the world
and salvage a little bit of light. I mean... isn't
that  
what the song is about?"

You are why I want to teach High School. 

I discovered Jewel about your age and she tapped the
same feelings in me- it's in part why I decided to
become a teacher. To change the world.
