For years, I've been questioning myself: who am I? What will I do with my life? Where am I supposed to be? I've been circling around with opportunities and future careers and colleges and it just made my head spin.
But Monday night, I had a revelation: I'm going to do big things with my life. The world's pretty messed up if you think about it. Somebody's gotta fix it.
And I read something once, a protestor holding up a sign that said, I used to always say that somebody should do something to fix things, but then I realized I am somebody.
And that sign has been given meaning in my eyes. I think we are so often struck by the paralysis of enormity, that there are seven billion people in this world, what difference can one person make?
Well, I think that can't let us down.
Gandhi was one person.
Albert Einstein was one person.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one person.
Beethoven was one person.
Marie Curie was one person.
Mother Teresa was one person.
If you say that none of those six individuals made a difference in the world, either you know nothing about world history or you're simply not right.
I had a revelation that night: I'm going to do big things.
