"There's a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path."

I really don't think I've ever been anywhere that had SO many youth present, that had SUCH a passion to make a difference.  I mean seriously, the atmosphere there was electrofying to say the very least.

Quick rundown on what We Day actually is.  It's been going on since 2007 encouraging youth to rise up and be the change we want to see.  It's put on by Free the Children (which was founded back in 1995 by Craig Kielburger when he was only 12 years old.  That man definirely practiced what he preaches).  Just this year was it announced that We Day will be going international starting next year!!

There was seriously so much going on, and SO many AMAZING people speaking that it's nearly impossible to pick a favourite moment.  I'd have to say mine was the interview with former Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev.  I mean, the guy brought down the Berlin Wall for crying out loud! 

"Preserve peace: our first priority. Stay united. Don't let people divide and exploit you" - Mikhail Gorbachev

I wanted to know what everyone's favourite part of We Day was.  Here's what Nelson had to say:

"Greatest part of We Day for me was the variety of speakers. One gentleman who has no legs "climbed" by hand to the top of a mountain. Another girl who was blind and on crutches was taken to the middle of woods by girls and they broke her crutches and left her for dead. She now speaks out against bullying.

Through these incredible challenges, these Individuals have been able to share their stories of overcoming. They encourage and inspire others rather than complain about their situations. They make a difference.
