Your future shines bright - find your purpose and go for it. Starting tomorrow, you can change the world.

We know that silence equals consent when atrocities are committed against innocent men, women and children. We know that indifference equals complicity when bigotry, hatred and intolerance are allowed to take root.

I am still fighting to make the world a better place and you can, too.
