There are times in our lives when we wonder if we were meant to follow our passions and live for something greater. “Dear Daniel” is a coming of age story of a young man, John Lee, who is trying to chase his dreams. But to do so, he must face and confront the most important people in his life. In the end, only he can choose the path he wishes to take.
Our goal with Dear Daniel is to empower young people who watch this film to chase their own dreams and live a life of passion. Too often we settle for less because of the many factors that tell us we need to play it safe and take the more conventional route. But this keeps us from actually becoming the person we are meant to be.

In an essay, short story or poem, tell us about your passion and why it’s worth fighting for. Talk about the challenges you face in pursuing your passion or the ways your passion can help those in need. You can focus on anything, really. But we ultimately want to collect your stories, which will be posted on this blog (with your permission) to serve as an inspiration for others.
Submit your essay to us be emailing us at project.jubilee(at)gmail(dot)com by October 8, 2012. Please also submit it with an accompanying photo that depicts your passion, if possible. Your essay can be of any length and form. But be thoughtful and creative. Be open and honest. Your stories are powerful, and they play an important role in encouraging others to chase their dreams as well.
