This message is very true. At first I was not agreeing with any of it but, once she started to read it backwards it all made sense. I put it all together and this is very true. This was a very powerful message for only being 1:44 long. I ecourage more people to watch this short message.
I would like to be able to say that i have accomplished all of those things, but to be honest how can all of that be achieved? It seems highly un-logical. You cant ever reverse something, just improve upon it or start from scratch. If a house catch's on fire, you can't just reverse the fire?
We just need to improve upon the ethical values that we instill in our children. I often wonder at what point in time did our world take a turn for the worst?
I side more with what Cody said. It is like that girl is trying to create a world where all those thing are possible and the world is a happy place. Although, we would all like to believe that is true, it is not always the case. I have been blessed with the life I live, but with people who are less fortunate they might be looking at life that way. One cannot always reverse things and make it better. i do like that she is optimistic and she believes in that. It is hope like that, that helps build the world to e better place.
It is not like we live in the fantasy world she describes. I am not trying to shoot they hope for change down, but come on let's be more realistic and aim for goals that we can actually achieve in life.
When this video first started playing my face dropped. But than at the end when it started to play in reverse it made more sense. To me this message means that we have to make our own happiness and we can not let the statistics of our nation bring us down. I think it is a good message, especially for young adults.
I agree with Krystine. It is not some fantacy world she describes, but the outlook our generation has on the world. If you change that outlook to be negative you will lead the life that is put forward. But changing that outlook to be positive could reverse the way we think about things, our ideals, and how we view our generation and its stereotypes.

When I first started watching this video, i thought this girl was insane. It started to make more sense to me when it played in reverse. You make your own decisions in life. 30 years from now, your life will depend on the decisions/choices you make in life. I agree with Krys, you make your own happiness in life. Don`t pretend. Be who you want to be, not who others want you to be. If you feel like what you are doing is wrong, then don`t do it. Always follow your dreams, don`t do what others are doing. Do what you want to do.

I love the quote Emily. Thanks for sharing.
