We live in an age of amazing interconnectedness. How does a severe drought or a war in some far-off land affect you? Why is it worthwhile to keep up with politics? What difference does it make who’s on the Supreme Court? You can transition into adulthood as one of the many uninformed and uninvolved citizens, or you can make the effort to open up your eyes to the world around us. Growing up in a time like no other requires a stronger understanding of interconnectedness than ever before. I suggest you start becoming informed sooner rather than later because it will be tied directly to your success in life.
