A young person, or someone who's writing in a different way - in some ways you could say, eventually someone will find them. Eventually someone will hear them.

I very much believe in teaching young people about philanthropy, and to give back.

There's a reason why start-ups, especially disruptive start-ups - like Google or Amazon or Uber - are full of young people. That's because young people are not as wedded to the old fashioned ways of doing things.
As young people, you want to see people who in some way look like you to some degree, because it makes it a little easier for you to aspire to take on the qualities of those people.

I realized my calling was to use the arts and ministry to help young people.
