HILLARY CLINTON: HERE'S WHAT MILLENNIALS HAVE TAUGHT ME
https://mic.com/articles/154407/hillary-clinton-here-s-what-millennials-have-taught-me#.TkE7lAlfoNote to Mods & those who don't like all caps. This was a copy-and-paste and that's what I got.
This is also a great read.
We hear a lot of things about the millennial generation. But too often, the people who are busy trying to define you are the ones who have spent the least time listening to you.
Here's what I have learned: Your generation is the most open, diverse and entrepreneurial generation in our country's history. And if we work together to take on the barriers that are holding you back and unleash your full potential, that won't just improve your lives — it'll make our entire country stronger.
From the first days of this campaign, you have shared the problems that keep you up at night and the hopes that get you up in the morning. You've reached for the opportunities that come with a college education at the highest rates of any generation in history — but faced ballooning tuition costs and crushing student debt like never before. Many of you entered the workforce during the worst recession since the Great Depression. And you've come of age during two deadly, costly wars in the Middle East.
And yet, despite all these challenges, you've never given up. Not even close.
