" "I have always considered myself a revolutionary, even though I am not one yet—I have always wanted to be one. I’ve always aspired to be at the forefront of change that shapes this world. Maybe it’s because I’m selfish, or maybe it’s because what I see in this world deeply convinces me that change is needed. I want to join the Millennium Fellowship to meet and collaborate with like-minded revolutionaries who are committed to making a difference and to learn how I can bring about change more effectively within a systematic environment."
