"When I hear your podcast, I hear articulate and self aware students. When I hear your podcast, I feel a sense of nostalgia and hope because this is how I felt when I was in high school. When I hear your podcast, I project loving thoughts on these teens because I know that despite the current feeling of shame, despair, fear, loneliness and need, I realize that these are the feeling that will motivate these young people to great deeds of which we will never see and heroic stands of which we will never hear. When you listen to these podcasts, please listen to them within the context of your own life. Remember envisioning power beyond your power, hopes unnamed and how you wanted to impact the world. Please remember adults, we began as children and it is within our power to take a life examined and move toward our hopes, dreams and goals. All it takes is courage, resolve and the continued capacity to dream. And please thank a teenager for allowing you to look back on your own life and to reconnect with that teenager who lives in every one of us."
