Generation Y: Song of Hope
The Oak tree provides shelter for this family who is preparing to send the next generation
into the world. They have seen hardship and are now looking for change, to become
stronger as a result of the struggles they have endured. Generation Y pertains to individuals
born in the 80s and 90s who are now entering into the work force and it is this generation
that is hit the hardest with the current economic struggle. They come often strapped with
debt from their education into a world where times are difficult and even the most immediate
future seems uncertain. They represent hope for our future and mankind. And so, we sing
the song of hope for Generation Y.
