Our 20s are a lot of things, sometimes unbelievably incredible, sometimes they are messy, sometimes they are full of fun and adventure, sometimes they are the most difficult times of our lives, sometimes they are enlightening. But one thing is for sure… they are not always easy.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
