A Rendezvous With Destiny, Karishma Mohan

This quote by Franklin D Roosevelt is very consistent with the idea that each generation becomes more aware and involved in their communities as time progresses. More expectations are always put on newer generations as they attempt to solve problems left from past generations. Each generation can be looked at as either over-privileged and therefore not expected to produce feats, or as the generation that will create waves and change the world. However, it is all about perspective; some believe that the generation I am a part of has been given endless privileges and advancements such as new technologies and creative ways of thinking and solving problems. Yet, with the growing tensions around the world, one could easily argue that if we are not the generation to solve the overflow of problems, our world will be at jeopardy. The newest generation is the fresh face the world is in a dire need of. That being said, the purpose of a generation only becomes clear after their time in the limelight has come to an end. Meaning, currently, we do not know if this generation will create change or will be labeled as the generation who had too many resources and not enough creativity and organization to plan long-term goals. Only time will tell, as she always does. However, our generation has a rendezvous with destiny and world can only hope we don’t show up late.
