If you had the chance, what would you tell a younger version of yourself?

YouTube launched the #DearMe campaign, mentioned in Jessica Maldonado’s guest opinion piece, back in March in honor of International Women’s Day. The effort was meant to inspire and empower young girls everywhere who may be struggling with similar issues.

Though YouTube solicited participation in the form of GIFs, we here at Lift IOWA are big fans of the written word. If you could write a note to your 16-year-old self, what would you tell her? Be less afraid? Take more chances? Share those with us, and we will publish a few in next week’s edition of Lift.
