But a young adult is not just a child anymore; they are not just students or playmates. Young adults, across the world, are actively participating in various fields as artists, writers, singers, sportspeople, activists, entrepreneurs and leaders, some from the comforts of their homes, while others on the global stage. Yes, they still dream of a world where fairies, witches, wizards, dragons, pokemons, their favourite cartoon characters and superheroes are real. But they also envision a world with genuine love, truth, peace, happiness and equality; not just for human beings, but for all beings and nature. Young adults are indeed the father of the man, aren't they? “The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation.” - Pearl S. Buck, American writer and novelist. "The youth need to be enabled to become job generators from job seekers." - Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Former President of India.

Download or read book Sand Castles written by Antoinette Stockenberg and published by Antoinette Stockenberg. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNING A LOTTERY ... who hasn't dreamed of it? Wendy Hodene, for one. She has always been one of those people for whom just enough is plenty. She's married to a charmer, has a young son she loves, and lives close to family in a small New England house that her great-grandfather built. True, she'd love to have room for a three-cushion couch (and of course more closet space), but all in all, she's happy with her life. Happy, until her husband Jim goes and wins a lottery, upending every reassuring aspect of Wendy's existence. The man she thought she was married to for a decade turns out to be someone else entirely; the house she thought she wanted renovated turns into a stress-inducing pile of dust and demolition; the son who once desired nothing more than a new video game now wants a big new house on the beach; and the mysterious contractor who shows up among the crew on a fine June morning turns out to be a man who's both able and willing to destroy all that Wendy holds dear. Zack Tompkins has better things to do than to knock down walls and put in floor joists, but his fragile and heartbroken sister Zina is convinced that the lottery winner whose photo she's seen in a newspaper is the man who once married and then abandoned her. It doesn't take long after he's signed on as crew in the Hodene renovation for Zack to see that Zina was right. His choice then becomes all too clear: wound his sister, or tear apart a family. As dreams and schemes are washed away like sand castles from an incoming tide, one truth remains: some hearts, not fully broken, can mend and still be whole again.
