I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Whoever is happy will make others happy too. No one has ever become poor by giving. I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out. Who would ever think that so much went on in the soul of a young girl?
