In Their Own Words
In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to the people around me, yet who am I and what have I to offer?
I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.

The Question of Our Time
What would Anne Frank say about young people using social media and the internet to speak out?
I believe I would find hope in it. Young voices deserve to be heard, and if you have something true and important to say, you must say it—I learned that in my hiding place. But I would also warn you: write with honesty about what you truly feel, not what others expect. The power is in authenticity and courage, not in how many see your words. And remember always to look for the goodness in people, even those who disagree with you, because that goodness is still there.
