Throughout the skimming of this module, I have learned a lot more things and became much more aware with the things around me and how they impact my day-to-day life. Reading through the entirety of this was such a wonderful experience and admittedly, I have been very-well educated about Peace and its concepts thanks to this lecture, as well as the mentors who paid the effort to teach us these important ideas that we have yet to learn more about of.

Thank you for this, YPA!

To the future peacebuilders,

I am proud to share that being a fellow peacebuilder made me realize that it is significant to have empathy and mindfulness towards the people and things around me. Before being a peacebuilder, I thought that knowing my own goals and dreams is enough for me to live harmoniously; however, I learned that it is truly better to have awareness about what’s happening in my environment as this also affects my personal living. As a peacebuilder, I experienced growth and maturity to have the urge of solving conflicts, creating oneness, and building peace within many people. Therefore, to my fellow peacebuilders out there, I am happy to know that you have a true interest when it comes to addressing certain issues and causing a change, having the sincere goal of making a peaceful and harmonious community.

Your fellow peacebuilder,

Angel Fernandez

dear future self,
I hope we've grown as a person, I hope we've achieved peace in ourselves and others. It doesn't take much to become a good person, and help others while helping yourself too.

# data[].attributes.body
In separating ways we part, can't believe we've come this far.
Throughout the lessons you've achieved, something beyond my belief.
A harmony in tact, for it is packed.
Peace resides, on the other side.
A journey behold, a future long to unfold.
For 'tis where the journey ends, until our ties meet again.

Future fellow peacebuilders,

Like you, I'm also on a journey to build, keep, and maintain peace within my community as well as many other communities. Building peace is not just an external affair, but it's an internal one, too. You will have to improve your own character before thinking of improving communities around you. It won't be easy, but the end goal is worth it, isn't it? Not everyone is as privileged to be in the position of a peacebuilder like you are; so, take the title 'peacebuilder' and show your competency and pride to be in such a position.

Torio, 10-R, GH

Just know that it doesn't take a lot to be a good person. Even if you think that what you are doing is very minuscule, it still is helping. Peace has to start somewhere, and even if what you are doing now isn't as big as the peace projects that we have seen at least you still are trying which is more than what a lot of people are doing right now. Don't be scared, because the idea of Peace without an action is simply imagination.

Hello to the future peacebuilders, I know you are doing your best to be able to be good peacebuilders and you are doing your best to be able to take care of many conflicts. I know reality is really harsh at times but just remember to never give up and focus on your goals, like one person once said: "never back down, never give up."

To the Aspiring Peacebuilder,

When I started this course, I didn't know what to expect. We were assigned to do each course as a weekly assignment, and I thought that that was it. However, I was proven wrong.

When I went through this course, and answered all the assessments, I learned a lot of things. Peace was in a sense, fluid in all aspects. There were pillars, concepts, and definitions that were unfamiliar. But they were something I was eager to learn. It was enriching to see that my ideas as a young person were not placed down, but encouraged and enriched to further be defined. I learnt that peace is not entirely impossible, and that it can be attainable through certain actions and steps. The youth can carve a future worth living in. And I'm sure that once you go through this course, you can too.

I wish you the best of luck. Godspeed.

Sincerest regards,
Chelsea Patiu

Not sure if i'm alive when i'm reading this but if i am how is the future. Is the future peaceful where the youths and adults finally understand each other thus destroying expectation for kids. Or is it the opposite where kids and adults still don't understand each other due to being born into different decades. Did i live a happy fulfilling life where i became a writer/author on books or i become a data analyst and became unhappy because my parents forced me into it.

Hello future peacebuilders!
The world is definitely not all sunshine and rainbows right now and it never really was, but I hope you continue spreading peace and positivity to make it a little bit better. These lessons have taught me a few things and I hope it has taught you too. As long as you have the passion to do what you put your mind to, I believe you can achieve it. Goodluck to you!

Hello!! I hope you will be able to achieve, if not all, then most of your dreams. If not, that's okay! As long as whatever you are doing now, you are happy and satisfied. I hope that you are much happier and healthier than you are right now. Always make sure to eat on time, stay hydrated, and get proper rest!! Life is a bumpy road, there will be sad and happy moments and bad and good days. But one bad day, is not a bad life. Look forward to tomorrow and always stay positive!

You may have not existed during my time, or maybe you could've. Perhaps you're from the Alpha Generation. However, I digress...

If we have failed you, I am sorry on everyone's behalf. If you didn't survive, I am sorry. If you have limited resources, I am sincerely sorry. I wish we could've preserved more for you, to raise you with the right amount of resources.

If you're feeling troubled, don't be afraid to reach out. Right now, you guys might be little kids, but that doesn't mean you don't know. You all need the respect you deserve, you all deserve to be nurtured and cared for, and I'm sorry if no one manages to help you meet these needs.

I just hope you all grow up to become our future.

Hello there! I'm happy that you were able to make it this far. As far as I know, most of you will probably just skim through this, and that's okay; we all have important things to do in our lives after this module. And if you happen to read this, that's also okay! Honestly, I just want to say that I hope you take the time to imagine what good you can do now or in the future, and to do it with passion. No rush of course, we all need to work on ourselves if we need to. In the future, I hope you love what you're doing now, and know that your simple actions and words can mean a whole lot to so many people. Life is unfair, yes. Life is weird but it's nice too. This course may just be another homework and you may forget this the next time, but I hope that no matter what in the future you will be: you too can build peace.

At an early age, I have many goals in life that I want to achieve. In a world like ours, it's inevitable to want to put yourself first, but it shouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. If you can focus on yourself first, you'll be able to give out so much more in the future. Continuously think of yourself as a watering can – if there's no water in the can, you can't water a plant. If you have nothing, you can't give anything to anyone else. So, to my future self, continue working on yourself not only for yourself, but for others as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I am hopping that one day I would feel different and see it differently on how I tend to see the people around me and that's being shown in a different light. What I hope with this I would see something that would like me to help these people and merge it into one light perhaps in a way that I made up for myself who knows?

When you want change don't sit around and complain and wait for others to make change because those people that you are waiting for are a delusion you yourself must take action upon it you yourself must make the change and be the change. Never assume anything assumptions are not facts assuming things will never get you anywhere you must know what is fact and sure that it is true always see every single point of view in a problem or situation and to be considerate and open minded, always do whats right, always be strong, always love, always have faith, and always never give up in fighting for life and justice! -Naomi Espiritu 10 Ruby

Don't think of this module as just another school requirement. It is much more than that, you will learn a lot about peacebuilding and how peacebuilding can help change the world. I know that this module may seem so long but you can do it, you will learn and discover a lot of ideas, concepts, opinions, and more from this module. I assure you that this will be a fulfilling journey to witness all of the peacebuilders' efforts in peacebuilding in different parts of the world. You are not alone in this peacebuilding journey always remember that the other peacebuilders will also be with you by your side. Don't lose hope, you may think that you are too young to become a peacebuilder but that is not true. Completing this module and learning from this and by promoting positive peace in your community can already make you a certified peacebuilder. All of the peacebuilders want to make a change for the better through peacebuilding and you should join these peacebuilders too.

Dear future Peacebuilders

Though it may seem a lot to take in, you can be reassured that me and many other peacebuilders will help you along the way. The different concepts, different ideas, new approaches to things, it is a lot to take all at once. Which is why we must take these one step at a time, just like the Peacebuilder Foundation. Apply the methods and other structures for peace in your daily life step by step. Soon enough, you will find yourself doing the things described in this course everyday.

From a fellow Peacebuilder, Matthew Remigio.

The world is stressful and complicated, but you're not alone in it. Everyone is trying to get by in their own ways so its important for us to remain patient, kind, and positive. Whatever you plan to do and however you plan to do it, i just know that you're doing a good job and trying your best. Sometimes thats all we can do, and its enough. Don't stress yourself too much out there guys, lifes meant to lived, and your shortcomings don't define you or your value.

the world is very stressful sometimes and simple things can be made complicated easily if we're not in the right headspace. I just want you to remember that whatever you're stressing about right, however you you deal, you can do it. You're not alone, life is a social experience, in a way, no one is truly alone. You're enough and your shortcomings don't define you. Remember to give yourself a break and carry on with the same enthusiasm you started with.

I hope you'd have been able to achieve what I thought I could not before
taking this course. I pray that, by the time you are reading this, the world will have changed for the better and not for worse- if we united under one purpose, then maybe there's hope for humanity after all, no matter how small our steps are at first. Just know that, no matter how big the world gets or how much its problems seem to grow, there's someone out there rooting for you, someone who wishes the very best for your endeavors as a peacebuilder, and as a person.

You won't achieve everything you'd like to within the first day, but I think that's what's fun about being young and an advocate for peace- you get to experiment, you get to try, to fail, to learn what needs improvement and which parts you can perfect. We're all trying to make a better future for ourselves and the people around us, and I will never not be proud of you for taking this first step forward.

All the love,

Hi Future Self! Hope your doing better now. Don't be to hard on yourself. Remember to live your life to the fullest as what we've always wanted. Never give up on your dreams. It's okay to be stressed out and feel like you're being pressured by everyone to be a good role model. Let go of your emotions and be free. We have really caring people around us like our friends, family and teachers even if we sometimes don't feel like it. Lastly, be happy and live a long fulfilled life.

I won't make this long. And let's get straight to the point. We ourselves is the future of our country, to my fellow cadets we are all purposely dedicated to leave a trace on one another for the next generation of our future life builders! Go, explore, and let's spread the word "The world is not selfish for us to share, we seek and thrive to be better but let us not forget to thank one another, as without them our personality will not be sourced".

That would be all. Thank you and Godbless everyone!

Take action! Peacebuilding isn't an easy task but as stated, it gets harder before it gets easier. So, learn how to overcome these challenges. Not only for this activity, but in your life as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, future peacebuilders or cadets!

I hope you'll enjoy this special program! It was a nice opportunity to be part of one and hopefully it is to you. However, it's not really that easy. You need to read a lot chapters and in the end you need to answer an assessment to go though the next chapter but it's all worth it in the end. Remember, what you're learning here will help you be more aware with other conflict happening around and how to maintain peace as a peacebuilder!

That is all.
Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
To future peacebuilders and diplomats who seek peace,

I urge you to pursue peace with all your might. The world is full of pain and suffering, and violence only begets more violence. We must work to break this cycle and build a world where all individuals can thrive without fear of harm.

It won't be easy. The road to peace is often long and winding, and it requires patience, persistence, and a willingness to listen to others. But by incorporating the 7H's concepts - Hello, Hope, Harm, Healing, Heart, Head, Hands - into our efforts, we can make a difference.

Humanity reminds us to treat one another with kindness and empathy, while Honesty encourages us to communicate transparently and authentically. Humility reminds us to approach challenges with an open mind and a willingness to learn, while Helpfulness encourages us to support one another and work collaboratively. Humor reminds us to find joy and levity in difficult situations, while Health reminds us to take care of ourselves and others. And finally, Habits remind us to cultivate positive behaviors and routines that help us stay on track towards our goals.

So I implore you: do not lose hope. Even when the world seems dark and the path to peace seems impossible, keep moving forward. Every small action we take towards peace - every conversation we have, every conflict we resolve - brings us one step closer to a better world.

Let us work together towards a brighter future, one where peace and justice reign supreme.
