I have been worrying about the future quite a bit lately. I’m coming to the end of my education, and it’s time to find something else to do. Yesterday, however, Katie suggested something which sounds about right.

I’ve often thought it would be good to make something like the Onevoice role model group more permanent. While it does great work, it only reaches a handful of people two or three times a year. But Katie suggested forming some kind of organisation or company where we would go into schools and empower kids.

I like empowering people, as long as it doesn’t stray into full-blown politicisation, as in telling kids what to think. It’s so rewarding. Back at school, I had no idea of life’s possibilities – that I could one day go to university, do a master’s, go on crazy trips to Newquay or Paris with friends, etc. Life once scared me, but now it stretches ahead like a vast landscape ready to explore.

I would love to show others this landscape – to enable them to see life’s boundless potential. This is why I’m so excited about this idea. Whether it will pan out remains to be seen, but, for now at least, the possibilities are endless.
