"I voiced my opinion, and there it is on the wall. THe mural I worked on in the Benjamin Franklin High School cafeteria is the most personal to me. It was my first experience putting a full mural together. I got to present my ideas at meetings, and I saw my work, my ideas, incorporated into the mural.Nyamah, age 17 / Charter High School for Architecture and DesignBig Picture Student / Mural Corps Student"
