"Don't let anyone tell you that you are too young."

I listened this morning to the BYU devotional speech that Elaine Dalton gave on January 15, 2013.  Even though she was speaking in religious terms and her examples were from the scriptures, I feel the following quote has important implications for our Esperanza scholars: 
"Don't let anyone tell you that you are too young."

We can start helping our young Esperanza learners understand how they can make a difference in the world, even when they are young--through their character and their service learning. 

This is an example of a young person making a difference in our day:
