Women’s Issues is a group of about 15 women who get together every week on Tuesday to just talk. We can talk about anything from our problems to the good things in the week. I personally am very glad for this time. Very rarely are you able to get in a group of women and talk without feeling like everything you say will be tomorrow’s news. But in issues we have a strict confidentiality rule. If anyone is caught telling anyone anything (outside of group) the group decide whether she has to leave group or if she can stay.
The women in Issues are:
Kim Colway
Kristi Dahl
Maya Diedrich
Marcelle Dorenkamp
Sara Goudy
Elissa Johnson
Lacey Landt
Molly Latterner
Clare Meyer
Tami Olson
Emily Richards
Tanya Schierman
Carrie Tiggas (me)
Nicole Tiggas (my big sister)
Issues is important to me because you see the people side of the teachers. It makes me respect them and try to understand if they’re having a bad day. They do the same to us students. So I’d just like to say Thanks Ramona and Pauline. I look forward to issues every week. Since I’m new in Mini I needed to feel like I belong. Like the third week I was in issues I felt like I had been in a long time. The women in Issues make you feel welcome. So in closing, Thank you to all the girls in issues. Thanks for listening.
