As for approaching kuips, his response will be the most interesting i think, because he above all else can change any of this. the question is, will he, and more importantly, will his superiors let him, i can only wonder what the administration is doing with this, its weird to think of meetings called over this email, but its very possible. this has been ignored for so long. as much as i hate standing on the sidelines it feels like i am, if you need any help in this you know where to turn. esspecially when you talk to kuips, id like to be there for that. This time, I'll Fight. this has gone on long enough, as chapel has become what seems like A creation born of ignorance We just need to keep searching where behind the darkness = the door to the light. but one question still remains, this administration, this giant we face, where to begin, tihs is a good start, but when it comes to teachers and staff can we do it? against that? and when we arrive, then what. Is this the answer you've been looking for will it be a question we must ask when we have truly "solved" this "problem" no matter what, we're not alone, and we musnt forget that, there are others who know of this and are with us, weather they make their presence known or not. We'll go together Thinking of you, wherever you are we pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts to blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it's already begun. there are many worlds, but they share the same sky- one sky, one destiny from what i hear of pegmen from people, which is nothing positive, his response doesnt surprise me.

this has gone on long enough, as chapel has become what seems like
A creation born of ignorance
We just need to keep searching where
behind the darkness = the door to the light.
but one question still remains, this administration, this giant we face, where to begin, tihs is a good start, but when it comes to teachers and staff
can we do it? against that?
and when we arrive, then what.
Is this the answer you’ve been looking for
will it be a question we must ask when we have truly “solved” this “problem”
no matter what, we’re not alone, and we musnt forget that, there are others who know of this and are with us, weather they make their presence known or not.
We’ll go together

Thinking of you, wherever you are
we pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts to blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it’s already begun.
there are many worlds, but they share the same sky-
one sky, one destiny
