The world on my shoulders?
As a member of the youth of the nation, I apologize. I have not lived up to what you expect me to be. I can not fix the mistakes our nation and world has made. I know i am suppose to be a leader of tomorrow but all the pressure of tomorrow is ruining my today. We as a combined people of America are in quite a fix. Our world seems to be physically deteriorating before our eyes and everything we once knew is starting to disappear. We are in a state of economic turmoil. The rest of the world does not like America as country too much but in their times of need they still turn to us for an answer. In the past people my age have always fought for what is/was right. They have always found the answers. I am not so sure we as "a youth" have the passion for any one cause to push for the same change, search for the answers. I know it is not but it feels like the world has been placed on my shoulders more and more everyday and I do not know where to put it. Everyday theres another speaker at my college telling me to stand up for what I believe in. I am not as sure as I used to be what that is. I wish I knew. I am trying to find out, but everyday it seems like the things I was so passionate about were one sided. I want to find the answers. I just do not know where or how. I just hope I will or someone will before its to late.

i am right there with you. i feel like the things i used to care about are nothing compared to the problems that our generation faces today. i want so badly to do something, make a change, but there is so much to do, i have no idea where to start.
