Passion

What is passion? Who defines what your passions are? Are they innate, woven into the cloth of our being before we are born? Or are they influenced by your parents? Maybe the world has some bearing on our passions?

I believe a combination of all these things influence our passions. There are time when people will tell you that your concerns are not vaild, or your cause is not worthy. Fight for it anyway. I will never stop fighting for a better world for my children. I intend to leave my little slice of Earth better than I found it. That means more than just choosing paper over plastic and limiting consumption. It means fighting for my views and ensuring that my voice is heard regarding the welfare of the children in my community. I will love all people; I will make people take notice of the fact that I am different. As a young person in Tennessee, I often find that my views differ from people older than me and from different backgrounds. That's ok; I respect their views. It is just so hard to listen and not interject when you are passionate about something. Why should you? If you truly believe something is right, should you not spread your passion?

School starts for me on Monday, and I go back to the old grind! I will try to update as much as possible... Go on out and conquer the world!
