Now..did you ever did anything that was able to have impact on many people in a good way? Being able to actually make a difference, rather than just saying so? Especially during high school? WELL... I know a bunch of teenagers that was able to do so.
Today, I went to watch TEDx Youth Waterloo, a TED talk ran by youth for youth sort of thing. So as I was watching through the guest speakers talk, one group of guest speaker stood out for some reason.That was a group of 3 guys in grade 11 that established this group called H.E.L.P (homelessness everywhere lacking publicity) that shed light on the issue of homelessness.
So, these 3 guys (Brad Golding, Tibor Kovacs and Teodor Nikolov) started of by being challenged by their civics teacher to make a difference... and from there they began as a 3 people group making care packages for the homeless in the streets and community...and 6 months later, they became a even bigger group with almost their whole school supporting them..
I think it is amazing how 3 local town boys are able to make a difference and not giving up and keeping at it and also how they are able to share with everyone else at TEDx youth their story and showing us the "Gorilla" in our life. Hope they keep doing a good job :)
