English Honor Society members aspire to narrate Flower Mound’s story through a service project called Voice for the Voiceless.

EHS members have joined together to tell the lost stories of individuals who have been long-time members of the community. They will interview a wide range of people such as teachers, elders, and classmates.

This project is for members to better their communication skills and make someone feel special. EHS president Susie Kim feels strongly that Voice for the Voiceless will benefit the community and school.

“It gives the unheard a chance to speak, and teaches us as students to listen carefully to people,” Kim said. “Everyone has a story.”

The project consists of students interviewing a community member about his or her personal life story, whether it is a war story, love story, life changing experience, or a special memory. The students will then translate the story into a video, poem, narrative, or piece of artwork.

“I will interview my diving club coach,” senior social media officer Sam Nelson said. “He has taught me so much, and is a great influence to me and my teammates.”

EHS sponsors Mrs. Greenlaw, Mrs. McMichael, and Mrs. Massey want to combine all of the stories into one book. The published book will feature pictures and quotes of the voiceless.

“I hope the finished product opens the eyes of students,” junior member Laura Parisi said. “We really need to see what is going on outside our own lives.”

In addition to having the opportunity to share a story, rewards will be given to commendable writers. Seventy-five dollars will be awarded to the first place winner, and fifty dollars to second place.
