Oh gosh, where do I start? These young people make me want to be better: whether that means being a better person, a better leader, a better friend… whatever! I’m not just talking about the kids who have done loads for social causes, but also the kids who’ve shown the world nothing but love. I’m talking about the type of people who have this contagious compassion and attitude about life that everyone gets engulfed by to create this chain reaction of giggly bubbly joy! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a major plus for a world that’s becoming so full of pain and suffering of late.
We tend to overlook the people who have this amazing ability to turn depression into love. WE NEED MORE OF THEM! And then there are the people who take compassion and a sense of duty to create change out of pure devotion… WOW.

We all have times where we’re pessimistic about the world and where we’re headed but its people like the amazing youth I see today who keep me wanting try harder when I see how optimistic and strong they are. It’s this undying commitment and dedication that they carry that makes me so proud and honoured to help them. So, basically what I mean to say is: for the change-makers out there, don’t let people tell you that you’re naive for what you’re doing. At least you’re making a change; whether that’s means inspiring other kids like me, or whether it’s fighting poverty like the Power Rangers against Lord Zedd.

Thank you.

You have all of my respect,
