If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

I am a 17 year old girl hoping to make a change for younger girls. With my free time, I play soccer, and I am one of the leaders of an international girl group known as Girl Talk, in which one was started up in my area about 5 to 6 months ago. Since then, I've had the courage to tell these young girls my own stories, how I've conquered what girls are forced to go through during middle and high school. I just hope my poetry can do the same for them.
