Sage advice from Jane Goodall for young people today:
“What upsets me is that if you don’t get a degree of some sort in some university you’re useless—that’s rubbish! It really depends on what a young person wants to do, to be really determined in what they want to do. My mother used to say to me when I had this crazy dream: “If you really want this you have to work extremely hard, and take advantage of all opportunities but DON’T GIVE UP !!!!” If you want to feel hopeful this holiday season and beyond, please visit https://www.rootsandshoots.org/ – empowering young people to be the change in their communities. Many blessings for this holiday season!
