In class Discussions
Today in class, we discussed in groups the topic of Youth. We debated if youth can make an impact to society and and if they can help to solve the problems of society. In my opinion, the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. I think that the youth are more willing to step up to the challenge of helping to fix society because they have nothing to lose and aren't afraid of failing. Overall, the youth of today are fantastic leaders and together, a change for the better can occur. -
