Dear TIME for Kids,
You often write about young activists. I love it! They inspire me. How can I become an activist?

Dear Carolina, Anyone can become an activist if there is an issue they care about. I speak up about disabilities. I know what it is like to have one. I asked companies to offer dolls that look like me. Some listened. Now there is a Barbie with a prosthetic leg. That is made to replace a missing leg. But you do not need to do big things to make a change. If you help even one person, you have made a difference. —By Jordan Reeves
