Poetic Youth

Thursday, August 6, 2009 by CI Staff

As International Youth Day begins to wrap up, here's an opportunity to meet LaToya, Children International's youth representative from the United States.

Our Youth Council talks a lot about being an Agent of Change, so I wrote this poem about becoming an agent of change:

“My Path”
My path is my path paved just for me.
No one can pave it for me.
Not even God.
He can only show me how to pave it.
If I pave my path with anything or something thrown together,
What kind of path would that be?
A path that’s not for me.
My path is paved with success,
So successful that when I walk down it,
You can see success in me and my face, left and right,
And when it’s all over, my God will take me home
Because the path that I paved was the life that I was living.
 

LaToya is one of Children International's Youth Delegates to the United Nations
