But, this week, he introduced us to our new best friend, **Tre Kirton**, a 9th grade student at Charlotte Lab Upper School, which just opened its new campus a few months ago.  Tre is a contributor to “Rise Up,” a November virtual performance series featuring original performances from students inspired by their desire to uplift themselves and the community around them. [Click the image above to hear Tre’s spoken word poem](https://charlotteiscreative.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=eb260e498bc77cd24d72c505c&id=c3da921eb6&e=5fa5d88371), “Your Choice.” Tre wants us to think about using our imagination and hope in order to visualize and realize our future.
