Everyday I am seeing more and more amazing achievements by generation Y. Growing up there was always debates, saying how our generation was ungrateful, lazy and lacking work ethic. I call bullshit.
Let's first look at social media. A distraction and ruining social interaction (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it) it was not going to have any prospect to help us grow. Disclaimer: ALWAYS use your brains with social media, don't put all your info up, don't meet people you don't know and don't live every single day of your life through a screen.
Youtubers, Bloggers, Vloggers, Online Stores. They are all here because of the internet and social media. Zoella, Alfie Deyes, Sprinkleofglitter, It's Grace, Tyler Oakley, Casper Lee, Tanya Burr, ThatcherJoe. Should I keep going? So much of this is taken up by Gen Y. As a hobby and a career gen Y is doing what they are interested in and enjoy. That makes me proud.
Emma Watson made a speech in front of the United Nations about the #heforshe campaign which I support 100%. Never say a young person can not make a difference. She is smart, well spoken, caring, selfless and has an amazing work ethic. At 24 she got the world talking about an issue she is so passionate about. That is amazing.
I know people volunteering overseas. I know single mothers.I know people studying to become doctors.I know people travelling and growing and following their dreams.
That is what I am most proud about gen y. We follow our dreams and be happy and live life to the fullest.
The world is our oyster.
