(Barbwire) — As a young activist, I face constantly the question of what difference I can make in a political world so big, so complicated, and so filled with people more powerful than myself.
Yet, for all the doubts that young activists face, we have no choice. American liberty can only be passed from one generation to the next when another generation rises to work alongside their mentors and learn with them what it really means to preserve freedom.
For that to happen, we need young people who care, who see the American dream as an opportunity instead of a burden, and who are willing to engage the fight. Young people have incredible opportunities to make a difference for good, yet we often pass them by. Our culture often underestimates the potential of youth, but does this have to be the case?
