2 We Are Defined As… The millennial generation is uniquely defined by the situations in which we were raised. We were brought up by the hard-working baby-boomers who taught us to strive for what we deserve. We are independent and proactive go-getters, and are involved in the community. We were taught to persevere, a trait that was both tested and strengthened by the unique, and sometimes tragic, events that occurred throughout our lives. We are approximately 75 million individuals who were born between 1980 and 2000. We are unique, strong-willed, and diverse. We are the millennial generation.
