In this very moment, we are living in a world where there is a lot of chaos and a lot of unanswered questions.
 

But, we are also living in world that is full of potential, justice, and great opportunities. It is with this belief that I hope we can start really aiming to use our lives to change the world.
 

Now more than ever is the time for our generation to take hold of issues that are hindering our nation and our futures. Instead of talking about the changes that we hope to make and instead of criticizing the problems that seem to only continue, we must begin to take action by writing to our leaders, our government representatives, and others who are in the position to speak up and create change.
 

I know that it seems like bringing change into the world is an impossible situation. But it’s not. On the contrary, it is very possible when we actually try.
 

Look at the Civil Rights Movement; look at the protests that sparked across the country focused on the Trayvon Martin case; and look at the protests that are happening right now across the country that are focused on the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases.
 

We have the power to change the world and the current situation that it’s in.
 

You have the power to use your life to change the world.
 

You simply have to believe that you can and then encourage others to join with you.
 

All it takes is you to start generating change. But together with others, you are a much stronger force that can greatly and positively change the world.
 

Now, go out there and be the change that you wish to see.
