[email protected] August 2014 WHAT’S ON MY MIND... Susan MacDonald, Editor This weekend, lakes and campground areas resonated with the sound of chil- dren’s laughter and it was amusing to sit and listen to their squeals of glee while they enjoyed these last few carefree days of summer. In less than a month, they will be back to following the structured regimen that comes hand-in-hand with the return to school. Good heavens, summer is nearly over! Who are these younger members of our society; what are their expectations in life and what does the future hold for them? Often receiving a bad rap, and being labeled the “Me Generation” (this term could easily be applied to each generation by the way), over the course of the past year, there have been several individual and collective youth initia- tives that have openly challenged that misnomer. If this is the true “Me Genera- tion,” then the definition has definitely been revised. Each month, Yaneka McFarland, our youngest journalist who writes the Youthful Perspective column in Main Street, challenges her peer-group to stand up and make a difference.
