If you’re a parent, ask yourself; when was the last time, opinion of your peer was deemed so worthy that you implemented that advice in your life?
If you’re a student, ask yourself; when was the last time, your own opinion was so strong that it overcame all odds and that you decided to implement it.
An underrated wave of change in the times our students live in is the triumph of their opinion.

These newspapers involve sections such as opinion pieces, puzzles and various symposiums extracts that help students to know their community and be inspired. We often overlook the components that shape our minds and subconsciously our community does too.
