Heart Confession to My Generation

Dear people who care and who don't. This is my letter to you. We are the youth of our country. Asset of our nations. Leaders of our own generation and generations to come. There is so much we can do now as young citizens to contribute to our country and to prepare ourselves for the future. As young and carefree as we are, we do carry a burden, much bigger than some of us might think. The prosperity or downfall of our country is in our hands not just in the mere future but from now too.

 "Open Up your eyes, look around, Homie can you see how it's going down, Brothers locked up, sisters knocked up"

 Chris Rene's lyrics asks us to look at status quo. Look around, we have juvenile delinquents increasing in numbers. We have pregnant teens in rehabilitation schools. All from our generation. We should not be wasting our youth! Wake up! Help others to wake up. Other countries are striving. Where are we? Do we conquer the international arena in multiple fields? Have we created a name for our generation in the country? The least we can do as young citizens is to not get caught up in social stigma. Let people look up to us, not down on us! We have to do this together!! Not only one or ten of us, but the millions that we are. The power of youth is amazing when you think about it. The future in our palms to draw and to write. The future is a blank paper where we write and paint our own history to be passed down. Let us take a look, we create new paths as we grow. We are different from the generation before us we have a hold on the future. What becomes of the future is in our hands.

We might not see it now but each and everyone of us is important to our generation. Losing yourself to unhealthy social activities means a generation losing some of its power. If you are strong then you give strength to a generation.

Lastly, just because people do not see that you are a diamond yet, don't hide away, don't self destruct because one day that shine that people see will be the one that the next generation might really, really need.

Sincerely,

Someone who wants you to care.
