I have lived long enough to realize
that influential people have become endangered.
Today’s world is full of people making bad choices,
but we rarely see those making a difference for the better.

I believe our generation
holds the power to change lives.
We all suffer obstacles in life
but that is what makes a good role model.
Someone who has to fight
to get where they want in life
is a true inspiration.


The generation before us
has shown very little to look up to.
I’ve grown up watching people
make bad decisions and choices
that they will forever regret.

I’m not saying I’m perfect
because I to make mistakes,
but to know people
put their faith in me
I will never throw it away.
