Global action through passion


I just received a first draft of a magazine (published in 100 countries) article written about my work the past few years. What this article doesn't talk about is my recent struggle. I understand and advocate the importance of pursuing higher education, but I am no longer as passionate, and in fact quite miserable being in an academic environment. What this article has reminded me of, however, was
 that burning passion I once used to have, and how I used to wake up everyday with that fuel. As I had stated: "I am neither a scientist nor a politician, I am a young person. Discovering, fuelling, and excelling in my passion has given me confidence and made me realize my potential in making a global impact in the the work that I have done with my friends and colleagues, we have mobilized youth from all over the world and played a part in inspiring global action."

I hope that you find your passion, and if you already have it, that you are doing all that you can to develop and nurture it. Heartfelt thanks to Jeff and Mark for giving me the opportunity to tell my story. Although, my first thought receiving this draft was: "A 3-page spread about my life/work? How boring."
