Why do you wake up in the morning?
Why do you get out of bed?
Why do you choose to keep living?
Why do you go to school and sit in class?
Why do you go to work?
Are you happy?

These are a lot of questions. A lot of big questions. Let us focus on just one, in my opinion, the most important one? Are you happy? I am in the middle of my day right now. This morning I had my favorite class, American Philosophy. It's my favorite class because of the teacher. Because he cares, and he simply hopes that you will come to his class with the belief that it could change your life. He WANTS it to. I have 3 other classes right now. I can't say I feel any of them are going to change my life, nor can I say that I care about them a lot.
Dear children, America is taking advantage of you. They are taking money from you that you have not yet earned, they are promoting the new trends that they expect you to buy into simply because they are trends. It has taken me a lot time to stop complaining and to finally say it, but I'm ready to: WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS!
We can do great things. We can change the world. We can learn to create ourselves instead of giving into the expectations that others have for us. I hope to eventually create a non-profit which encourages people to do just that. To learn to be ourselves, to love without fear, to feel free. These are ideas. I want to sit outside on this beautiful day and let my dreams flow through my fingers onto paper. I feel alive right now. I'm thankful for the things in my life that allow me to feel this. For the great teacher I have, for the awesome friends I talk with, for the support and love of my family, and for the non-profits that I'm connected with. Life is good right now.

Let's make a difference.
