We are the youth, I just want you to think about that as I speak, just those four words, we are the youth.
Now it is clear that we do not live in a perfect world, it is clear that there are problems and most likely there will for ever be problems. But I have a question, why? Why do we have to fit into the confines of those problems? Those problems were set by those before, they were not created by us. We should not have to be forced into a world of issues that we never asked for. Yes we have a foundation, a foundation that we should not and can not take for granted. But these are our lives, why should we sit back and watch our parents fight a war that determines our future? Are we not able? We are a generation of the broken, we have all been through something no matter what that may be. When odds looked grim then we didn't back down, so why are we now? There is a way to make a future, a future the way we see it needs to be. At the start of this I asked for you to remember one thing, we are the youth. We are the ones who are going to be the leaders next. Will we follow in our parents foot steps? Leaving pain and regret for both domestic and foreign people? I also asked you why, I now will put those two things together in a way that I ponder every night. Why don't we do something, we are the youth of the world and we sit and do nothing. We have been granted the gifts of technology, the gifts of knowledge of all different types of cultures, we are the prime ones for the world, let's use what we have been blessed with and let's stand up, let's stand up and take what is ours. Let's take the world, because if we don't, it may just fall apart behind us.
