4(The government want young people sacrifice their lives in order to help the country recover. However how we can help our motherland recover if we’re being robbed of achieving our full potential. The government have identified and chosen us as the weak links in society who can’t fight or stand for what they believe in and what benefits their lives. They say we’re the leaders for tomorrow but do their really mean it or are we just slaves to be used and forgotten in history.
5(As are young person I want my mark on earth to be felt long after I’ve died. I would hope you have the same view. But as I look around our future seems to be controlled and played around like a game of chess. Now I have to ask you does the future promise anything for us as are generation if we sit back and let the government continue to destroy our lives. We must, we can and we will fight back against these crimes begin committed by those in power. Saying no and standing back isn’t an option. We must fight. This is our war and no one except you is prepared to fight for us if we can’t stand up in large numbers and fight this situation ourselves. I want us as young people to stand up and show we have the backbone to fight. Yes we are the under dogs but we‘re fighting for the right purpose at the right time for the correct people. You. I can’t guarantee that you will be victorious but I promise when you look back on your life this will be a moment of self-proudness and great respect. You will not find are greater cause to stand up for in society that benefits you like this particular one.
6(I recently met are young person who had experienced the ups and lows of being are young person in society at the moment. Daniel Yon whose 18 years olds explained to me how no jobs are available to young people and attending university is like robbing are bank being forced to pay back for the rest of your life. Daniel and I had are very emotional and deep conversation of how he found himself clueless about his future and at are stand still in life. We exchanged words about two phone calls which determined his future.
7(He looked into my eyes. He told me “one day you’ll be in my position”. I asked what position is that. He responded with 3 words. Young gifted and scrapped. What he went on to tell me for the next 5 minutes changed the way I viewed the world and influenced my speech for today massively. Daniel Yon (whose 18 years old and just completed his A levels) – described to me how his future dreams and aspirations that he’d worked for his whole life were snatched away from him in a matter of weeks. Daniel managed to achieve the required grades in order to go university however he never got the chance to make his dream become reality. Mr yon felt his life was is race against the odds and he was always destined to fail. Daniel talked to me about the two phone calls that took place during in the weeks leading up to his disappointment.
8 (The first call came from imperial college university. The university called to confirm that Daniel had been offered are place to study there. This marked the start of his dream to become are doctor. The second phone call had even more significance. It came from the same university and this time the call confirmed that he would not be able to attend the university due to his in ability to march the harsh tuition fees. He describe it as almost being toyed around by a bunch of men in power who only had interest in gaining more power and destroying dreams of those who were one going to replace them.
9(We are in a war. But funnily enough this isn’t any type of war. You are trapped in were our future is at risk. This is a war were no one cares but you and therefore we must fight for us. This war won’t produce dead bodies but it will destroy your childhood dreams and leave you with regret for the rest of your life. You must join our cause, you must fight hand in hand with other young people and together we’ll take our future back. We must all be prepared to sit back and sacrifice out future or stand up for our future. We must set an example for the rest of our generation to follow. You only live once, you’re only young once and you only have real chance to pursue your dreams and that time is now. What are you prepared to do about it?
10(Am going to leave you with are quote from my favourite poem (FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIOLISTS)
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
I want to you to remember that your only speaking and taking action for your selves but for also the generation after us (younger siblings)/
