"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example..."
— 1 Timothy 4:12
Dear Teenager,
Over the last eleven years, I've had the privilege of meeting hundreds of you.
Some of you were full of confidence.
Some of you hid behind your smiles.
Some of you believed in yourselves.
Others had already concluded that your dreams were too big, your background too small, or your mistakes too many.
I've listened to your fears, your questions, your struggles, and your dreams.
I've watched you discover purpose, uncover hidden talents, and begin to see yourselves through a different lens.
And every single time, I've been reminded of one truth:
God created YOU for a PURPOSE. There is greatness within YOU. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to believe in them before they learn to believe in themselves.
That is why this vision continues.
Not because every challenge has been solved, but because there are still teenagers waiting for someone to remind them that they matter, that they are capable, and that their future is worth fighting for.
If you are one of the many young people I've had the privilege of meeting over the years, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey.
You have inspired me far more than you'll ever know.
And if we've never met, I hope our paths cross someday.
Because I believe in you.
Even before you fully believe in yourself.
With Hope,
Christabel Ebhonu
