In an article about a young Pinay girl that wrote to Obama, and she got a response back, he writes her some of his ideals of creating a better world.
“Creating change and making the world better is not always easy, and you will probably find in your life that it is more comfortable to ignore injustices that don’t affect you directly. Don’t take that comfortable road. Challenge yourself to make a difference,” Obama wrote.
“If you don’t already know what it means, I want you to look up the word ‘empathy’ in the dictionary. I believe we don’t have enough empathy in our world today, and it is up to your generation to change that.”
“I hope you will always be an active participant in the world around you, and that you will seize every opportunity to make the world better,” he added.
“Seeing young people like you who care about making things better inspires me and gives me great hope about the future of our country.”
The Extra Mile Adventure is really about this philosophy; going out and doing someting and make a difference. When I was reading the article, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities and concepts of what TEMA is trying to put into practice. I truly believe America is in good hands with a leader that understands it’s about connecting to people and working at making things change. And hopefully more people take these ideals to heart. Go out like The Extra Mile Adventure and do what you can, every bit helps…
