Is age really just a number?

As the late R&B singer, Aaliyah, once said, "age ain't nothing but a number."  Do you agree or disagree with this quote in relation to Patria marrying Pedrito at the young age of seventeen in IBF?  Patria is the same age of a junior in high school (YOU).  If you found true love, would you marry someone at the age of seventeen?  Why or why not?  What are 3-4 important factors that you would heavily consider before making this choice?  If you even talked about getting married now,what would be the reaction of your family, friends, etc and why?

Dreams & Goals Make Futures

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -Eleanor Roosevelt

What are some of your dreams and aspirations (hopes) in life? What do you want for yourself? What do you want for others? What would help make those dreams a reality? Step outside the box on this one; don't just write the usual stuff about wanting millions of dollars, being a celebrity, or things like that. What are some of the accomplishments you could strive for that would make a major mark, or even inspire future generations of young people?
