What I Learned About Myself When I Created My Own News Outlet For Young People
For much of my life, two words defined me: painfully shy. And, perhaps, socially anxious. I had trouble talking to people, even close friends. My heart would pound ahead of social interaction, and I often lay awake at night over an upcoming social event. Years would go by when I would hardly see my friends outside of school for fear of that simple social interaction. But those weren’t the only words that defined me. I was also incredibly passionate about the world. I desperately wanted to help people, a desire that only grew as I got older and learned more about the issues facing society. I...

Civil Disobedience
There is a strenuous debate over whether civil disobedience is an effective way of bringing about change or not. The general assumption is that civil disobedience effectively brings change to the society. However, it is my point of view that civil disobedience is not an effective way. To exemplify this, climate change is one of the most urgent, difficult, and side-lined issue in modern U.S. history. Government is our leader who needs to balance the economic growth and the climate change. For all the events that news can accommodate, unfortunately, climate change has been side-lined. When the...
The freedom of choice – an illusion?
I would
“I would” If you had the power to change something, what would it be? Walking in a cold night, looking at the incredible moon as white as a jasmine flower, I was thinking about this deep question, but suddenly a red Chevrolet distracted me, it was a Malibu 1981 identical to my grandfather's. It passed quickly on the narrow street, flashbacks started passing through my mind, followed by a smile. I 've heard quite a lot of people that tell me: "I would definitely change poverty" and someone else tells me, “I would definitely change injustice," and another person tells me "I would totally change...
Youth: Agents of Change
Given the issues we face today, almost everybody wants to make a change; everybody wants to be that change. However, the only thing constant in this world is change. It is only particular parts of society that refuses to accept that.

Changes
Of closed doors, and tears streaming down my face. When the heart was torn, and my mind was in dismay. Little did I know, that it was all about finding grace. And learning to accept, come what may. Understanding requires time, while accepting requires patience. The future is unseen, no road maps or navigation. Gathering strength through prayers in silence. As we find our way, like the stars in a constellation. Through the highs and lows, we learn to grow. A roller coaster ride, in this life that we know. We stumble and fall, as we reap what we sow. We pick ourselves up, that much to ourselves...

What would you say at your own funeral?
It's the opposite approach to life - the most unintuitive, eccentric, or perhaps grim way. It's a practice I'd say you should at least try once, maybe several times if you're up for the challenge. But remember, the goal of this exercise isn't to take a stroll in your journal and have a nice little chit-chat with your ego. It's to dig deep into your roots, and ask yourself: how do I want to die? Or rather, how do I want to be remembered and what do I want to be forgotten by everyone, and swiftly wiped out of history as I draw my last breath? It's a way to find yourself. Discover your goals and...
Stepping towards life...
Hello boys and girls , I am back, and first of all I wanted to apologize myself for this inactivity period. Due to my different engagements in the sport community, associative work ad of course studies, it seems pretty difficult to juggle between interacting with other youth voices and heading upward my current life. Without further talks, take a sit and settle in because my calves and I are about to flow out the pain and wounds lived together, during this athletic life paramount step. Nowadays we are surrounded by aspects affecting our daily life that we don’t necessarily notice. We introduce...

SHE
When I was a kid I had many friends. Boys and girls. We lived in the same neighbourhood. There was nothing I loved more than playing outside with them. But unless there were other girls with us too, I could not go outside with only the boys. Back then I did not understand how wrong that was. People would say that it was some rule that protected my "reputation", whatever that meant. I really hoped someday something would change. To this day, I think the mistreat of women has not gone away, it has only changed shape. We sometimes fail to comprehend the incredible creation that is women. We are...

The comfort of being uncomfortable
The world wants us to leave it better than we found it, it wants us to be the change, by speaking up and being the first domino. For a line of dominos to fall, one domino has to fall first, which leaves no choice for the others but to fall. For me, being a domino means doing the hardest things, especially when they are needed with the hope that others will follow soon. But let’s put the light on a very important topic, which is fear. Some will say “We are fearless!”, but none of them is unfraid of the consequences of their fall, and few of them are truly willing to be the next domino. Fear has...
