I always listen to 95.5 The Fish on the radio. This morning I heard a song by Mikeschair called "Keep Changing the World." It was the first time I heard the song and have been captivated by it's lyrics. It is everything I believe in and encompasses what I am trying to do by changing the law to extend the age of emancipation. Please read the lyrics. Take action! Like us on facebook, send me an email at ohioschildren@gmail.com, and get involved! Let's make a difference before we leave this world! Together we can do it!
Something here is wrong
There are children without homes
But we just move along to take care of our own
There's so much suffering just outside our door
A cry so deafening
We just can't ignore
To all the people who are fighting for the broken
All the people who keep holding on to love
All the people who are reaching for the lonely
Keep changing the world
Take a look around
Before the sun goes out
What's lost can still be found
It's not too late now
It only takes one spark to make the fire burn
So reach inside your heart and let this be the start
I know you see this suffering
How they gonna recover when
People just look over like,
Like they don't even notice it
Everyone who's focused in,
On ending all this hopelessness
You can change the world
By changing Who the world is focused on.
I see the sun coming up
It's a brighter day
Let's show the world that love is a better way
So lend a hand join the fight'Cause time is ticking away
Keep changing the world

I support the emancipation age to be later since the youth I work with as a child mental health social worker are ill-prepared to be adults. Due to abuse and neglect histories, the children in our foster care systems are not ready to "age out"; they often end up homeless, in jail, substance abuse treatment centers or psychiatric hospitals, or dead. We need more services to support those turning 18 in our foster care system.
