"Dream BIG and make it real."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Larissa N., Age 13 --- Indonesia
As people grow older, they seem to be more realistic sometimes even too realistic. They base everything on what is possible to happen not seeing the possibility in impossible things. As a teen we should dream big, dream things that seem impossible, but withGod anything is possible. Start dreaming.

"If someone breaks your heart, don't mourn over them like they're dead. It's stupid. Instead look at it as an opportunity to become something better than a boyfriend or girlfriend. Become their friend. Friends last longer, have more memories, and have more trust. What more could you ask for?"
