Reactions to the Postsecret Lecture

We actually had a representative from Postsecret come speak at our highschool and it was probably one of the most memorable expereinces I have from that chapter in my life. Our school had invited this representative because our school was having issues with being too catty and not respecting other people's privacy. So when she came we had to participate in an activity where we all wrote a secret on a peice of paper place it in a box and then one by one we would choose a secret fromt he box and say it out loud in front of the entire school. This excerise truly changed the perespective any of us had about our highschool and the people who attended. I honestly had never expected any girl to have have any of the secrets that were spoken about to be possible. some girls had secrets about being abused or coming to the high school on scholarship and I guess a lot of these possibilities never crossed my mind that people could have been going through. By having our school call someone like this to our school to hold an activity like this where we did not know whose secret we were listneing to but knew it was one of hte girls in our school created a bond that was unable to be broken. It created a kind of sisterhood that brought all of us so close to each other that breaking that bond would be impossible. The effects of this guest elcture could be seen withing minutes when girls began to cry over a few of the secrets being said even though they had no idea whose secret they were listneing too. They felt a bond with that girl and same goes for that girl as well as she saw everyone around her feel her pain when her secret was read out. This happened during my junior year of highschool and after that my experience at highschool changed completley. It went from attending any sort of school to attending a sisterhood and now I am tied to these girls forever and its a bond that will never be broken.
