Today our hall is getting ready for something the Northwestern Community knows as
"Knuha Day". This event promotes eight different organizations that help to better this world.
Each hall chooses an organization that they want to represent, then decorates their hall and creates a dance or human video that is later presented to an audience. The hall that puts on the best total presentation gets money to donate to that specific charity/organization of their choice.

Our hall chose "To write love on her arms" as our hall charity/organization. For time reasons, i won't go into crazy details about this organization, but to give you an overall view, it's focus is helping teenagers and young adults battle depression, cutting, and suicide.

Every one of us has had rough points in our lives. Some more dramatic than others. But much of the time, it doesn't matter the "degree" of the situation. When something difficult in life comes up, it's often hard to see that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, where you feel like you are in a dark cave, and can't feel your way to the exit.

Often, when we're hurting, we feel that in order to be the best employees, the best friends, and the best family members, we have to be positive, upbeat, and happy. We walk around with a smile on our face and a chunk missing in our hearts.

"To write love on her arms" helps battle this. It gives the opportunity for everyone battling with depression and pain to feel love, knowing others know their pain and are there to help them find the exit.

In a little over two weeks, I, along with about 20 other women, will be performing a dance/human video that promotes what "to write love on her arms" is doing.
It's difficult to describe my "excitement" (if you can call it that) to use dance to show others the love and hope we can help give to those who need it.

That day will be a powerful one, and I can only hope that the love we pour into this project will empower us and others to show the love and hope others can have.
