inconvenient truths

the pen is mightier than the sword, but the youth are mightier than both

the mission

"nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."
-maria robinson

The future is filled with changes; that's inevitable. The news, government, and educational institutions paint a dark picture of negative changes to come. But today's youth are filled with ideas that make these changes positive. It's just a matter of encouraging these ideas in their infancy, and the world's inconvenient truths can soon be dealt with effectively.

I'm a student in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a strong interest in Environmental and Energy Policy and Law. I'm also passionate about a wide range of other subjects, from education and gender issues to media influences and the performing arts. While my thoughts on these topics are still developing, I hope expressing them in a public space will make them a little more developed and accessible.
