Editor's Letter
Who do you want to be?
I’m not talking about switching places with some
mega-rich celeb or athlete — although that could be
fun for a few days (okay maybe years) — I’m talking
about what KIND of person do you want to be?
Too often we get settled in our skin. We get used to
the way things are and before you know it, another
school year is over and we really haven’t ACCOMPLISHED a
thing. If you think about it, part of the problem is
that we haven’t clearly stated what it is we want to
accomplish! We start school every year just wanting it
to be OVER, and when it is nothing much has changed.
So, who do you want to be? Really think about it —
and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! You’ve got to DO or
nothing changes. If you FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT AN ISSUE
like animal rights (see Speaking For Those Who
Can’t, pg. 18), then pick up the phone and volunteer
your time. Be that person who is MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
If you’re tired of all the alienating cliques in school
then change things starting with yourself — get to
know someone outside of your standard group of
friends, open yourself up to people with NEW INTERESTS,
GOALS AND VALUES (see Black Eyed Peas, pg.20) and
become the open-minded, cosmopolitan person
you’ve always wanted to be.
Maybe you see yourself
as some kind of super-something; celeb, athlete or
musician? Then DO something EVERY DAY that gets
you closer to your goal. Do you think Madonna,
Michael Jordan and Bill Gates are just lucky people?
Maybe. But for sure they’re people who had A DREAM,
A GOAL, A MISSION and then they went for it! With
every passing day they did something that got them
closer to becoming who they wanted to be.
Set your sights on what it is you want and make it
happen. Starting today.
Good
reading!
