"There is always tomorrow" is something that I try to remind myself every day. My heavenly father has given me a faith that I rely on daily to make it through the challenges of life. We all have challenges we must face. Many times, the challenges and burdens we face can make me or you feel as if there is no way out. When you look to God and the strength inside yourself, there is always a way through all the storms of life. We all have an inner strength that oftentimes we don't know we have until we need it. Heavenly father never leaves us alone. He is always with you or me. We all have a spirit of a warrior inside us all. Having a warrior spirit does not mean that you will not be hurt or scarred by the trials of life. Usually, the opposite is true if we pray and listen to our hearts and do what God wants us to do. Then we will be able to navigate through the storms of life. God has given us this life and as part of it has given us the tools to make it through the journey we call life. When you feel as if you can't handle one more thing that life can throw at you, remember to look to God and there is always tomorrow. Never give up on life or yourself. There is always a reason to look toward tomorrow. We are all special.

In September 1918, World War I was nearing its end when Marguerite E. Harrison, a thirty-nine-year-old Baltimore socialite, wrote to the head of the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence Division (MID) asking for a job. The director asked for clarification. Did she mean a clerical position? No, she told him. She wanted to be a spy. Harrison, a member of a prominent Baltimore family, usually got her way. She had founded a school for sick children and wangled her way onto the staff of the Baltimore Sun. Fluent in four languages and knowledgeable of Europe, she was confident she could gather information for the U.S. government. The MID director agreed to hire her, and Marguerite Harrison became America’s first female foreign intelligence officer. For the next seven years, she traveled to the world’s most dangerous places—Berlin, Moscow, Siberia, and the Middle East—posing as a writer and filmmaker in order to spy for the U.S. Army and U.S. Department of State. With linguistic skills and knack for subterfuge, Harrison infiltrated Communist networks, foiled a German coup, located American prisoners in Russia, and probably helped American oil companies seeking entry into the Middle East. Along the way, she saved the life of King Kong creator Merian C. Cooper, twice survived imprisonment in Russia, and launched a women’s explorer society whose members included Amelia Earhart and Margaret Mead. As incredible as her life was, Harrison has never been the subject of a published book-length biography. Past articles and chapters about her life relied heavily on her autobiography published in 1935, which omitted and distorted key aspects of her espionage career. Elizabeth Atwood draws on newly discovered documents in the U.S. National Archives, as well as Harrison’s prison files in the archives of the Russian Federal Security Bureau in Moscow, Russia. Although Harrison portrayed herself as a writer who temporarily worked as a spy, this book documents that Harrison’s espionage career was much more extensive and important than she revealed. She was one of America’s most trusted agents in Germany, Russia and the Middle East after World War I when the United States sought to become a world power.

Structure and Agency in Young People’s Lives brings together different takes on the possible combinations of agency and structure in the life course, thus rejecting the notion that young individuals are the single masters of their lives, but also the view that their social destinies are completely out of their hands. ‘How did I get here?’ This is a question young people have always asked themselves and is often asked by youth researchers. There is no easy and single answer. The lives that are told, on one hand, and their interpretation, on the other, may have the underlying idea of 'own doing' or the idea of 'social determinism' or, more accurately and frequently, a combination of the two. This collection constitutes a comprehensive map on how to make sense of youth’s biographies and trajectories, it questions and reshapes the discussion on the role and responsibility of youth studies in the understanding of how people juggle opportunities and constraints, and contributes to escaping what Furlong and Cartmel identified as the "epistemological fallacy of late modernity", in which young people find themselves responsible for collective failures or inevitabilities. It can thus interest students, researchers and professors, youth workers and all of those who work for and with young people.

For Lena, the upcoming year is going to be epic—one of opportunities and chances. Until one choice, one moment, destroys everything. Now Lena isn’t looking forward to tomorrow. Not when friend time may never be the same. Not when college applications feel all but impossible. Not when Sebastian might never forgive her for what happened. For what she let happen. With the guilt growing each day, Lena knows that her only hope is to move on. But how can she move on when her and her friends’ entire existences have been redefined? How can she move on when tomorrow isn’t even guaranteed?

Who am I? What am I doing here? Where do I go from here? We are all plagued with such questions from time to time. But do we have definitive answers for them? Nope.

The mental pilgrimage can help us get closer to the answers … and the Source. For this, we don’t even need an elaborate change of schedule; just a few moments in the day filled with a kind, simple, rooted thought can do the trick. In this book, the author has given a succinct thought for each day of the year. The one on your birthday will be particularly relevant to you. As for the others, they should answer the questions that have been taxing you off and on for a long time. So, read on, draw your own conclusions, discover your purpose and find yourselves.
