Use your voice.

You have a voice right? You have opinions? Why not put them together and vocalize them. I'm not telling you to be an obnoxious fanny and think your opinion is the only one that matters, cause that's not the case. I'm sure though that none of you would be like this. What I am saying though is that if there is an injustice being done at your school/work or whatever, you might just be able to change it.
If you can change one thing about your life by using your voice. Imagine what could happen if everyone used their voices for a good reason. Imagine what humanity could do if we joined together for a common cause. Whatever your opinion is, please vocalise it, but also, listen to others opinions too. Thanks.

Don't apologise because you're passionate about something.

So many times, I have seen people get all excited and start talking really quickly and get all worked up about something they are passionate about and in the next breath... they apolpgise. It breaks my heart, because you can tell that some person that they highly respect has, at some point told them to "shut up" because "nobody cares".
This statement is not true. People do care about the way you get excited.  There will be someone out there who finds it absolutely adorable, no matter how annoying a thing it is. Whether it's a tv program, a book series, film series, idea, or whatever, do not apologise... because passion is how we change the world.  Passion is the fire in your belly, and the leaves to our tree. It can be the reason you get out of bed,  and the reason you don't want to.
We need to be passionate about something. Or else, we are uninteresting. It is the way that you get excited over something that makes you you.

Your grades aren't everything.

So many people stress out about the littlest of tests, the tests that don't even really matter that much. And yes, I know having good grades helps you get into university (if that's what you want to do) and will also help you get a job... but they're definitely not the be all and end all. I want everyone to realise, that while getting an education is extremely important, there are things that you cannot learn in a class. There are subjects that school's frown upon.
You might be awful at school subjects, but have a passion for building robots. Or you might suck at maths but be extremely creative. Everyone has something they're good at. Everyone has stuff they're bad at, but the subjects you're bad at at school shouldn't make you feel bad, or stress you out. If you have to take that subject then ask for help. And know that even if your parents desperately want you to be a doctor, but you want to be an actor or whatever, then don't be a doctor to make your parents happy. Be an actor, because it's your life, and you get to decide what your career will be.
