As Christians, we can't hide a way. I see that teenagers don't value education. In America, I don't think we have raised to value discipline- and that's what the education system in America needs, discipline and also initiative in all schools and all students. New laws won't necessary change things. Kids have to WANT an education, we can't be doing what we are currently doing now, and forcing it on teens. I don't know much yet, but I do know I want to lead a movement in education and social change. I only started thinking this in the past year. I feel I am late to it, and there is so much I have to learn before I can teach, which is what I want to do- I feel we can make the most change in our world changing the way we interact with young teenagers, getting them to see things perhaps.

God our master breaks the brick wall inside our head, keeping us from him. Also the the mother elephant reminds me of or sinful acts and life when we leave it(her) And the twine reminds me of that small part of satan we have kept in our heart. Thank you for reading my thoughts Remi John 3:16 Christians are like the elephant we are trapped by the things of this world and we despratley try and break free,but we fail. God our master breaks the brick wall inside our head, keeping us from him. Also the the mother elephant reminds me of or sinful acts and life when we leave it(her) And the twine reminds me of that small part of satan we have kept in our heart.

Thank you for reading my thoughts

You are right, society has told us we can't do certain things. But we can, and we should. We can do anything God has called us to, no matter what the world tells us. We can rise above low expectations and surprise everyone around us. We are the next generation, and if we don't stand up for our beliefs, who will? We need to be an example to the people around us, and prove we aren't bound by today's society. Thank you so much for this website. I just recently found it, but it's already an awesome experience.

Since mass, run-of-the-mill education has been introduced, we have gotten run-of-the-mill young people. Everyone gets the same education with emphasis on the same subjects, regardless of where their talents lie. As you have said in some other posts, we need to be more responsib;e for our education and not leave it to people who don't have anything to lose if we do badly. We need to begin developing our gifts and talents now, without leaving it till we are expected to. I know you've probably said a lot of this in not so many words, btu I just wanted to write this for myself and others. Thankyou guys for all that you are doing. I have only recebtly dicovered the Rebelution, and it's given me a lot to think about and a lot of ideas for doing things. Many of my relatives and teachers consider me 'extraordinary' already, but I realize now that I've started to be proud of that and do things for my glory rather then the Lords. Although I do more with my life than most of my friends and cousins, it's still a lot less than what I could be doing and I am definately not living up to my potential. Thank-you for helping me realise this. I will be praying for you and your work. Have you noticed how few exceptional men and women we have had in the last century or so?
