Don’t get disappointed
Being rejected is an every day part of our lives and it can suck. The reason rejection sucks is that our species depends on being social and interacting with each other, regardless of how anti-social some of us are. I, as an introvert, find being around people often tiring, okay? I think some of you can agree on that. Anyway, despite how smoothly you think your life is going, you are bound to run into rejection the moment you set foot outside your home. I guess when you hear the word "rejection" a lot of us have the idea of romantic rejection in mind. For example, you are at your local cafّe...
OUR generation = OUR rights
In today's world we are not able to recognize our rights anymore. What rights do we have today? What are our limits? Has being insecure destroyed our opportunities in a world, where the biggest dream is to become famous and the worst nightmare is to meet someone who doesn’t use any social media platform? What are the rights that can protect a new born baby or an adult or anyone else just because they’re human? Not because they’re a good person or a bad one? The rights that truly protect us? Human rights is the only truly universal language on this earth, except sadly and perhaps constantly...

Don’t destroy my friends
Expectations upon expectations for my generation. Your community only recognizes a traditional job, as a dancer actor singer just isn’t a job. Your teachers expect you to pass every exam, otherwise you have no chance (at least I get told so). Your government has your life planned out, GCSEs at 16, life decisions at 18, university until 23, then searching for jobs. Will anyone blame them NO! The blame goes straight upon social media. Well done, you're destroying another generation. Its time we learn to change, it’s time to bring around a change, we don’t live in the 70’s or 80’s but 2019...
Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainable development and environmental stewardship in any society would not take place, unless the populace has a keen understanding as to why such is important. We (myself and my brother - former members of the International Youth Council, Mississauga Chapter) believe education and knowledge play a fundamental role in this regard. Therefore, for the past few years, we have been concentrating on key initiatives that would facilitate education and knowledge, and in turn lead to self-empowerment. For example, we have concentrated on reusing personal computers, text books, and eye glasses in...
Necessity of education
Education is a source of hope and the most profitable investment for tomorrow, simply meaning a better future for all. So education is not a luxury, but a basic need in contemporary life, a human right and not a grant. The benefits of education not only affects individuals, but also spills over its to society, such as creating an innovative culture, building peace and attaining prosperity and development. Many political leaders talk about how to carry out an economic development, target rapid growth rates, increase per capita income, adopt a civilized culture and improve social conditions etc...
Self love campaigns
I missed this place so much, and it's been so long since I've written a post, and even though I used to come, read, and comment, this feeling of typing your thoughts in a post is so refreshing. I have been writing a lot lately - drafts, law articles and doing some projects, and also taking this break to recharge a bit. College is back in full swing, and every time we talk about college, or schools, there is this issue called bullying, which sticks to our skins, and accompanies us everywhere. Bullies, labels, bringing other people down, and throwing insecurities on people – it's like a never...
My experience at The Bangalore Mediation Centre
Recently, I had the opportunity of interning at the Bangalore Mediation Centre, an initiative undertaken by the High Court of Karnataka, which aims at facilitating mediation as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism to resolve disputes outside the premises of a Court. Mediation, unlike Court cases, does not foray much into the legal technicalities of a case that is generally difficult for the common person to comprehend. It is a voluntary process in which the parties in dispute can informally discuss and negotiate a matter, before approaching the Court directly, in simple terms, in...

Importance of education
As a student who belongs to a developed country, I am constantly surrounded by people with multiple perspectives to situations. However, a major problem that is very visible to me is the ignorance of the value of education among many students. Generally, when we go to school our first thought is, “This is so boring” or “Can I just go home already?” I think we are so used to just having easy access to things like a good education that we don’t realize what would happen if we didn’t. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are, as we get caught up in the whirlwind of events that occur in our lives...

Reimagining the education system
So often I complain and whine about our education system. You may think, why do I do it? I am going to college despite being a differently able person, so I should be thankful and I shouldn’t be whiny. If that is what you think, you are so wrong. You may think, when the world is facing a real learning crisis and a large number of children cannot even go to school, why am I still concerned about the wrongs of today’s education system? Because that is what I am facing myself and I think that is also a real crisis. When so many others are fighting to make education accessible and inclusive, I am...
UNICEF Youth Advocates make their voices heard during UN General Assembly in New York
Peaceful and safe
Let's take our time to think about the planet we live in, about this generation and the next generation, to figure out what it's like if there's no war, harassment, misery, revenge, violence, and any other such things. At the edge of my thoughts I pondered on how it felt to live in a peaceful and safe place. Safe; is that what we want in our lives? Indeed. Then what if that hope is gone? What's next? My choice is keep going. Keep moving, keep living this life with some great new ideas. Don't be afraid, we have God. More precisely; God has created us. Afterward, my thoughts moved as fast as...
Indonesia, children, UNICEF
I was born in a country that has a beautiful natural wealth, Indonesia. The islands stretch from Sabang to Marauke, united with one another irrespective of differences. We are Bhinneka Tunggal Ika; meaning although different but still one. That is the motto of my country. I learned a lot of things here. Since I was a kid my parents taught me to be a person that respects and helps others. They also taught my sister and I not to cheat in any case, no matter what. I am beyond grateful to be a part of a family that understands the purpose of life. At the age of 11, I was interested to know more...
Towards the teaching of indigenous languages in schools
Aruskipt'asipxañanakasakipunirakispawa is an Aymara word that means "we are compelled to communicate", translated by Aymara teacher Juan de Dios Yapita. As a young Aymara, belonging to this indigenous people, I feel proud of my culture. Unfortunately, I am one of many who with affliction do not know the language of their parents and grandparents. The school offers us education and values, which are usually far from our original culture. Making it difficult to access materials, teachers and the learning of our native language. That is why the teaching of indigenous languages is fundamental...
