issues firsts can-do
The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed.
miracle youth bigs
The point of my work is to make it clear that all youth can make 'big miracles' happen.
writing ideas flow
With writing, I can express myself, really, and share my ideas and just let my thoughts flow out.
entrepreneur pursued ifs
If you pursued something that you felt strongly about, then I call that success.
girl rights looks
Success on the front of women's rights will look like a world not only with obvious advances - where no girl is denied access to education, for instance - but also one with more subtle changes in how we regard gender and gender stereotypes.
drama school dancing
Prom has all the elements of a popular story. It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama. It has romance. Pretty dresses. Dancing. Limos. High school. Coming of age.
causes adults problem
Let's abolish the term 'childish' because adults normally cause the largest problems.
meaningful encouragement growing-up
Young people are often asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where's the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?
motivational young-entrepreneurs world
There's no committee that says, 'This is the type of person who can change the world - and you can't.' Realizing that anyone can do it is the first step. The next step is figuring out how you're going to do it.
negative-words adults way
A lot of negative words adults call the young, like 'naive,' 'impulsive' and 'way too connected online,' are all things we can turn into strengths to help us.
entrepreneur brain world
All that you need to become an entrepreneur and change the world is a working brain - and pretty much nothing else.
leaders-of-tomorrow today ears
You must lend an ear today, because we are the leaders of tomorrow
kids reality littles
Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it.
voice age world
Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.
