I came across Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus on the internet (click here http://www.getalyric.com/listen/0INu00DmYGM/handel_messiah_hallelujah). But before I listened to this timeless masterpiece I thought I was going to write something about “how to be effectively proactive in tacking issues you and your peers face in today’s world” or “ways you could maximize your holiday season.”
As I listened to the music, I came up with the idea to help you experience the holiday season on a “higher note” (pun sort of intended) and bring you something more inspiring versus the cloak of negativity we hear in the news and in our daily lives.
So I have created a list of some of my own favorite links I feel represent the courage, wisdom, intelligence, and GREATNESS of youth in America. Click. Enjoy. Believe!
