Tiffany: What is the biggest misconception about your generation?
Jireh: Adults have this common misconception about teenagers being too laidback. They tend to think we don't take enough initiative to prepare ourselves for the future. This is not true in most cases. Many teenagers I know go that extra mile to achieve things they are determined to achieve. Of course, as teenagers, we like to enjoy our free time by going out or doing things we like. That does not mean we aren't serious about what we put our mind to. Every National Queen has worked so hard to achieve their goals which proves my point.
Encouraging future leaders!
