This morning I had the pleasure of having breakfast with 10 Jr. High and High School students. I have breakfast with these guys every week and I must say it is the highlight of my week, every week. They are in a group called the Youth Leadership Project and they are my heroes. They are living, walking, talking proof that there is more to teens today than cell phones and video games. They come together each week to talk about how to make a difference...at home, at school, in the community. Then, they go out and make a difference. Gotta love that! Do you dream of making a difference in the world? Good. Young people have always been difference makers and world shakers! In the coming weeks, check out your BellaOnline Teen Newsletter for ideas about how you can make a difference in your world!
