I look back at my life, especially when I was a youth and realise how so many people helped me. They helped me understand courage a very important thing for me.

I believe we are all here to share, what we have been taught and what we have learned from our mistakes in the past. We need to share it with our generation.

We need to speak out on what we are going through. We need to speak out so that those who are going through the same things like we did can learn from us.

We can do this by starting today to write journals of our lives .We commit to talking to each other about what we are facing. You can write a song and sing it out to people or just write a newspaper article and share your experiences.

Sharing about your life does not mean that you are perfect or that you have it all together. It just means you are willing to learn and teach others with what you have.

There are so many opportunities in the media whether in the newspapers, radio or TV, all waiting for young people to stand up and take charge of their problems.

Together we can advocate for our rights and speak against the vices our generation is facing. In order to defeat the things that affect all of us we must be willing to go forward and to do more than keeping silent.

Someone once told me that no one should ever die with information that they only know. This means that that information will never be made of any use since it was never shared.

We must learn to embrace and utilize the resources that are there for us. We need to rise up and take up responsibility for information we hold because it’s a time to learn and educate each other through all avenues that are open for us.
