As junior Jamie Jamison approaches the school campus, the sun radiates throughout her car. Tracing its beams are the shapes of words painted on the window, but these are not just any words. They have a far greater meaning than anyone driving past Jamison could fathom.

The words on Jamison’s window are, “Here’s to you and here’s to anyone who’s ever felt invisible. Those words cut deep, but they don’t mean you’re all alone.”

“Anyone who likes country music probably knows the song ‘Invisible’ by Hunter Hayes,” Jamison said.

Jamison knew the song was written in dedication to those suffering from world hunger. However, she never knew the song would become her anthem for a far different reason.

“After the thing that happened with Ethan Miller, I thought about that song and it suddenly just hit home,” Jamison said.

Jamison identifies with the lyrics of this song.

“I personally did not know Ethan, but I know a lot of people who feel alone. It breaks my heart that people feel like suicide is the answer to solving problems,” Jamison said.

Jamison knows exactly why she put paint to the window of her vehicle.

“I put those quotes on there because I feel like everyone should know that they’re not alone,” Jamison said. “They should know that they’re not invisible and that they do matter.”

Jamison hopes that the marks on her window will change someone’s outlook.

“So, I figured if I wrote those on there, more people would see it. If they felt bad or felt like giving up, they would understand and know that someone truly cares about them,” Jamison said.

With the stroke of her wrist, Jamison leaves white paint on her windows. Suddenly, her actions go from paint on a window to purpose in a life.

“I just try to be motivational for people. Personally, I have not lost anyone to suicide. I wouldn’t know how to react if that were to ever happen,” Jamison said. “My heart goes out to the ones who have, and I have immense respect for them being able to stay so strong.”
