Even in our more difficult hours, we have an inner strength that we can draw on, whether it is via speaking out against injustice, finding our voice, or finding the courage within ourselves to fight back and emerge from despair. Athena has given the world an anthem of resilience: an uplifting song that resonates down the corridors, encouraging us all to battle our problems and triumph.
