WE-BE POWERFUL!
WEAs we grow from children to teens our dreams either flourish or disappear. We
wait for life to start but really it already has. We may think the decisions we
make now are pointless but the truth is some of them affect the rest of our lives,
and can change the lives of others.
We're young and full of energy. We can do anything we put our minds to, and
the time passes whether we do it or we don't. No one ever really knows their
own strength and power until they achieve what they never thought they
could. We can change so many things, from making a person’s day brighter by
giving them a genuine smile, to giving them courage to stand up for themselves,
to saving someone’s life! You never know what someone’s going through.
There are many organizations nowadays putting all their efforts into changing
the world and helping to make it a better place. One that helps youth to do that
is global youth service day http://www.gysd.org/. From April 26-28 youth pledge
to celebrate and share their belief in youth power by completing small acts of
kindness throughout their community. Throughout the rest of the year anyone
can help by creating their own project or joining others. It is the largest service
event in the world and helps over 100 countries each year. You can pledge to
change the world one small act at a time!
This is what many youth today are doing; using their energy to achieve their
dreams and help others live fuller lives too. When we see how significant we are
at helping others, it builds our confidence to stand up and continue to make
change for ourselves and others when it is necessary. Being the change we wish
to see, we’re influencing everyone around us. We don't have to change the world
all at once – we can just start by changing the world, by helping one person at a
time.
If you are looking to join a dynamic team of
creative young adults who are making a difference in the world and having fun at the same
time, then come join the WE-BE Magazine
