In reality, we achieved something.  And while that something remains either ambiguous or personal, the something we achieved was worth every minute.  Our march to the capital building, however tiresome, was pivotal for the children who participated.  With so many political actions and hardships today, it could not have been a better time to encourage the children that change is up to the people and their actions, which is all too often forgotten by the adults.  Change is something we must never classify as a dream or a place in the future.

The Children’s Defense Fund encourages our children to place that change in our way, in order to facilitate and promote change.  It is unanimously agreed upon that change is needed, yet we wait for the world to change.  But reality will remain until it is altered by those who reside within.  We have the power for change and it was enlightening and humbling to demonstrate that the ability to make change belongs to all, big and small.
