João Paulo de Mello Speaks Out
From João Paulo de Mello Connolly
I am only sixteen years old. I have no outstanding list of vocations and skills to boast. I mow the lawn, wash dishes and scrub toilets. I am still quite inexperienced, busy learning, wondering and growing. I guess everything seems so huge when you’re growing, so long, frustrating, and yet, ironically, so small, so short. You want to be understood and heard, accepted for what you are.
I am only growing up. There are no great answers I can give. No dissertations I would write. The Family International has given me something more priceless than any high education or career: love. I’m proud to see my older friends and peers standing for what they believe. They have learned to fight and sacrifice, and I can only admire them for what they’ve already given. “We cannot all be great,” it was once said, “but we can attach ourselves to a great cause.”
