Letter from the Editor So many people think that giving back to people is all about money, but for me personally it really has very little to do with money. Yes, we all need money to survive, but we don't always need money to make a difference. Giving back can be as simple as giving a hug to someone that looks lonely, or a smile to brighten a person's day. This is one of the many reasons why I started BoldlyU and the BoldlyUs Committees. Just by telling our experi- ences and stories, we can make a huge difference in people's lives. Sometimes we get lost in this broken world and think that difficult things only happen to us, but in all reality, they happen to everyone. Some things might not seem as bad as what we are going through, but I can guarantee that by sharing your story you can help someone going through something very similar. By being a part of a BoldlyUs Comm- ittee, you can make sure your voice is heard, and you can start making a difference in people's lives by giving back. Our committees have every different kind of kid involved, and that is what we love! To get to the real heart of what is going on in our world today nobody has a bigger, brighter, more powerful thought pro- cess than our tweens. I know, I know, as par- ents we have trouble see- ing that but if you really dig into their lives and truly listen to their stories I will guarantee you that you will be just as ama- zed as I was. That is why BoldlyU and our BoldlyUs Committee's are giving back something much grea- ter than money; they are giving help and awareness to help other kids to see that they are not alone in this journey called life.
