Change

"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." - Gandhi

Change. We all want it to happen, but we are all afraid of it. Almost everyone in college, including myself, can't wait to be done, yet I know we are all so scared of the "real world." Some of us may have no idea what we want to do once we graduate, others may have everything planned out, and yet we all have that small amount of fear in us. What we have to be able to do is bury that small voice telling us to hold back and be afraid, and we must change the world around us to be what we want it to be. We can all do it in small ways every day, every hour, every minute, but there will be the few of us who are able to do something great. I know that I hope that by the time I die I will have changed at least one person's life in a significant way, and I hope that everyone has that same goal. I want to put forth a challenge today to anyone who reads this; think about your life and how you hope to change the world, think of a small thing you can do on a daily basis to change the world around you, now do that small thing every day.
