“The past can hurt. But you either learn run from it, or learn from it.” – Rafiki, Lion King
What college student doesn’t love old Disney movies? These movies transported us to faraway lands, showing us worlds which were strange yet fascinating. Lion King showed us what the African savannah was like, while making us wish we were talking animals so we could be best friends with Simba or talk to Rafiki about our future.
For the past month, you have probably stopped to admire many of the colorful drawings which have decorated the floors of Chardon and the areas around it. But have you really thought about what was the message behind such colors? They weren’t there because a group of students grew bored of their drawing pads and decided to color on the floor. Students from the Department of Arts have united to send a message to the community. Even though these students are studying the Arts, their classes and their career is just as tough and demanding as a career in the Sciences or the Humanities. We possess a talent, it is just a matter of how we express it.
