I occupy because this is the first time in my lifetime that I have a chance to really make a difference. My generation hasn't had a chance to participate in a social movement. I was always in awe for those who came before us in the 60's. It must have been an exciting time.

Now we have a global movement for social justice and I can't sit at home and watch. It's my duty to participate and I feel honored and humbled to be a part of Occupy.
