Saturday was our first meeting/orientation for our youth group. I found it pretty interesting and beneficial. I know this program can help me get more involved in making changes around my community. This program seems very cool to me because it shows that youth in America are the future leaders because we are the most effective when it comes to making a change. We may not have all the power in the world but we do have enough to make changes in our community. If we want to see change we "the youth" have to be the first to take on some action, like a wise man once said "i am a product of my environment". This quote is as true as it gets because our environment is a reflection of us. If it isnt a good environment it shows our lack of caring to make a difference.

My dad used to always tell me that we are influenced by our environments, but we equally influence/create/shape our environments too! Good luck in the program!!!

Salaams! Thanks for the reminder that our environment is a reflection of us. I totally agree. We can whine, mope and groan and worst--ignore it, or we can work to change some aspects of it.
