Recently masks were mandated in Illinois for schools. Our school board had already stated they were optional except for buses. Because they're public transportation, they were required. Tonight, they had an emergency meeting. I revised plan was released earlier today. It stated "strongly recommended" for school property AND on the buses! It was passed unanimously.
Most other local schools are not requiring it as well. I feel like the mandate is a test to see if they still have power over us and they clearly do not. I'm ridiculously introverted so it took a lot for me to get up there today. But I did it! I not only got applause after my speech, but during it as well! I'm so proud of myself, our community and our school board!
Bravo, 👏👏👏👍 God bless you, I too have introverted leanings also stage fright so it's difficult for me to speak in a group setting, I almost become speechless and can't get my words out, hate it. Way to go though, I am very proud of you sister.
Oh my Lord yes. I was literally shaking and stumbled over my words a couple times. But I had my speech written and I waffle stomped the anxiety down the drain and did it! I'm still riding high on the personal win!
