Brief Excerpt

What Do You Care About?
When Working for change the most important thing is what matters to you. It is not about what your friends think, what your parents want you to do, or what your teachers say is important. Choose something that you care about. . .
Everyone has different passions. That is one of the things that makes people unique and it is why we have to work on things that matter to us. Think about it: What if we all decided to work on saving whales because it seemed cool? No one would be left to care about tigers or elephants or eagles! And the people who didn't really care too much in the first place would get bored and burned out. Take time to figure out what really matters to you because whatever you decide to do is going to take some energy. You're definitely going to need passion.
