i can choose my own capital letter

Last night I had the privilege to hear human rights activist Jen Marlowe speak.

She is awesome. I mean, anybody who just does exactly what they want to do is awesome.

This is her passion.

She was even deported from Bahrain last July.

I want to be deported!

I loved everything she said, but my very favorite thought of the night was that people often talk about

"refugees with a capital R, and victims with a capital V,"

but that can't be right.

Humankind has been victimized, but no one is Victim.

We must remember that people are a whole, and while life can suck rocks, we are so many things! 

So, I'm going to choose my own capital letter.

Because I am not Lazy,

I am not Failing College Student, 

and I am not Victim.

I am Erin.
