“One child, one teacher, and one pen can change the world,” stated by Malala Yousafzai. Us Americans were born into so many privileges, one being school. So it is natural for us to take it for granted, but children in places like Pakistan do not have those privileges, so they see school as a chance.
As Americans, we tend to overlook the prerogative of school. For instance, many kids in my school (including me) really hate school and forget that it is really a huge privilege.We see school as a seven-hour and thirty minute day, starting at eight a.m., and ending at three thirty. We view school as a long dreadful day of unnecessary knowledge. Being an American, we know that we are lucky to have school, but because school is a requirement we tend to overlook the privilege and continue to enmity school.
However, children in underprivileged countries may have a small opportunity for an education, but most don’t so they see it as a prospect. A chance, for a successful future. When you lack education, it’s hard to find higher paying jobs or support a family. With an education, you can be a surgeon or a dentist, unlike kids without education. So, if these kids that wouldn’t normally get an education receive one, they could literally change the world. They could inspire others to learn, so then their country would become more education and there would be more chance for them to have education rights. So for kids who don’t have the privilege of an education, see it as a huge chance.
So as you can see, even me, an average American has overlooked the privilege of school. While others like Malala and others see school as a chance. ” Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world.”
