For three days this week I did not have a voice. I was forced to sit in class and just listen. When I hung out with my friends and roommates all I could do was listen.
I learned something vital about myself through all of this. I am not that great at listening nor do I enjoy not being able to give my feedback to others. It was a humbling experience not being able to talk about myself or how I was feeling. I realized how much I really do talk and that it can actually be more beneficial to just listen to others sometimes. I am going to practice this more, even when I do have a voice.

Ten Cent Heroes are college students connected by common purpose, location, and time. Our purpose is to look at our environment, how we move from place to place, and our actions within the framework of alcohol use or nonuse. Our location is Iowa and the time is now 2010.
Ten cents may not buy much anymore, but the choice is there to take what we have, and what we know, and save the day. The challenge is not just to survive, but thrive!
