Bryell Oettinger: The Teen Who Is Changing the World

Bryell Oettinger, a 16-year-old student from Washington, is a force to be reckoned with. In just a few short years, she has made a name for herself as an activist, organizer, and leader.
Bryell's passion for helping others began at a young age. She was just 10 years old when she started volunteering at a local homeless shelter. There, she saw firsthand the struggles that people facing homelessness faced, and she was determined to make a difference.
"I knew that I had to do something," Bryell said. "I couldn't just sit back and watch people suffer."
Bryell started by collecting food and clothing for the shelter. But she soon realized that she could do even more. She organized a group of her friends to volunteer at the shelter, and she started a fundraising campaign to raise money for a new homeless shelter.
Bryell's hard work and dedication paid off. In 2018, she was awarded the Prudential Spirit of Community Award, the nation's highest youth honor for volunteerism.
"It was an amazing honor," Bryell said. "It showed that I was making a difference."
But Bryell is not content to rest on her laurels. She is continuing to work to help people in need. She is currently working on a project to build a new homeless shelter in her community.
"I know that there is still a lot of work to be done," Bryell said. "But I am determined to make a difference."
Bryell is a shining example of what young people can do to change the world. She is a role model for us all, and she is an inspiration to us to never give up on our dreams.
