I started this blog to show teens what is happening in The Cafe and for their parents who what to know more about what their teens are doing. I also wanted this website to look into the lives of teenagers in today's culture, and to encourage teenagers to be different. Different meaning to make a difference. History is now and we can and will make a difference. I am proud of those who have signed up by voulunteering their time and am hoping for more to make a stand. To the teens of The Cafe don't be like your friends who stay in their house and do nothing, but step out and start a revolution of change. Be an example to your parents and elders by making and difference. Every little bit helps! By serving others we are serving Christ.
-take note of Generation We, the "Millennials," those born between 1978 and 2000:
"The Millennials are a special generation, potentially the greatest generation ever. They are not pessimistic or vengeful. Rather, they are sober in their view of the world. They believe in technology and know they can innovate themselves out of the mess they are inheriting. They believe in entrepreneurship and collective action, and that each person can make a difference. They are about plenitude, and they reject cruelty. They are spiritual, responsible, tolerant, and in many ways more mature than their predecessor generations. They reject punditry and bickering, because they are post-partisan, post-ideological, and post-political. Most important, they believe in the greater good and are ready to dedicate themselves to achieving it."
From the book "Generation We: How Millennial Youth are Taking Over America and Changing Our World Forever" by Erich Greenberg. You can download a free copy the book here http://www.gen-we.com/sites/default/files/GenWe_EntireBook3.pdf. It's definitely worth a read. Let us know what you think.
