When a local says something snarky about my language skills
To avoid going insane, one had to learn to stop caring // Barbara Demick.
On January 19th, I met a young man on the street named Vidal, and I asked him to tell me about the person who had influenced him the most in his life. He told me about his principal, Ms. Lopez, and he explained how she had taught him that he mattered. Over the next two weeks, I learned the story of Ms. Lopez and her school, Mott Hall Bridges Academy. By hearing the stories of MHBA students and educators, my eyes were opened to the unique challenges facing a school in an under-served community. Ms. Lopez taught me that before a student is ready for academic training, they must be made to understand that they deserve success. And that can be the hardest battle in education. Ms. Lopez always said that there was no place her students did not belong. Recently we received an invitation that proved just that.

Youth are the innovators, creators, builders and leaders of the future. But we must let them thrive. Hundreds of millions of young people confront social, economic & other obstacles to their well-being. Governments, communities and families all have a role to play in tearing down these barriers.

Then she wished more rationally, that she could love him without needing him. Need gave him power without his trying. Need was the choicelessness she often felt around him // Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
In Vienna on Monday, Ban Ki-moon met Conchita Wurst, the Austrian winner of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, to highlight the importance of mutual respect and tolerance, and to raise awareness about the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) community.
“Conchita is promoting respect for diversity. This is a core value of the UN Charter, along with our commitment to tolerance,” said the Secretary-General.
