Dear Ella, Imogen, Isabel, Mara, Saef, and Valerie:
Your essays touched my heart. The struggles of each person, and their strength and bravery, shows through in your writing.
When you stand up for what you believe, sometimes it is hard. Sometimes you look around and think you are the only one standing. Then you turn your head and see the many people standing with you across the world.
I ask each of you, that if you believe in something that touches your heart, then stand up and make life better for the next generation. I pray that each of you does this to change the world.
Stand up. Pray hard.
