Dear Elsie & Evelyn,
You  have so much opportunity ahead of you
and I want you to go out and grab it.
The world will change before your eyes, and 
become better for it, in many ways.
But if there is one thing you must hold
on to through you adulthood – it is
your work ethic and your proactiveness.
More and more, our society will want
to automate things – to make it easier –
to minimize thought.  But that doesn’t
take away the need for you to follow through
when you have made a commitment.
(consciously make a decision & act 
on it or)  And it makes it even more 
imperative for you to step forward to
help a neighbor – to volunteer – to speak
out when you see something that isn’t
right.  Those Girl Scout badges and
high school jobs and long hours
