Do you know this video about a 12 year old girl's speech? She made a such impressing speech about the fact: "Children should be more respected and plus, adults have something to learn about children." To understand more about my topic, please look at the video and read my own reflective essay about what I felt and how I was sort of "Discriminated" by adults.
Have you ever been thought to be annoying and childish? Have you ever been told words or feeling that you are annoying and not helpful for others in any ways? I think when you were a children you must hae had this experience. As a child, I agree with this great girl, Adora Svitak. Yes, adults have to respect children, and yes, they have to learn the creativity and knowledge of us children, so today I would like to talk about the times when I was called childish and annoying.
We are not childish! We are the world's future!
I felt discriminations between young and old, and I would like to tell the major two stories. I think everybody knows "E-mart". A lot of people find E-mart cheap and friendly, but as a children I never think like that. Dozens of workers in E-mart discriminate adults and child. When I am with my mom so I can buy things, the workers are really kind and they try to help us until we are totally annoyed of them. When a child goes, the scene turns different; the workers just think I'm invisible and when I ask questions they groan and sort of shout at me. Actually, I wanted to buy a cube but couldn't find it. So I asked a kind looking woman: "Where are the cubes placed in?" The woman made a naughty face and growled: "I don't know, it's not my part of business." Can you BELIEVE IT?!?!????? She worked on the exact floor where the cubes were placed in, and she said it was not part of her business! I feel terribly annoyed and feel horrified. The world is a much to harsh and cold place now for children, which are the world's future. I think the world is being much too terrible to us young children; they need to give us hope and happiness.
Terrible yelling workers!!!! Don't discriminate us!! @.@
The second one is about GLPS camp. I know I would be scolded maybe, but I want to tell the truth about some PAs rooms. (I will not reveal the floor, their names, etc.) We can never eat snacks, have to be clean and we should not have one hair in our room or we will get a yellow card; well, that was what at least I was told about. After reading this, take a look at the PA's room; the trashbin has snack wrappers and the rooms have bad hygiene. They pile things up and even dry their clothes inside the room! I think before they tell us do this, do that, yellowcard, redcard, EOP paper..., I think they should give us some examples of clean, non rule breaking rooms, not the rooms they show us now!
IN CONCLUSION, DON'T DISCRIMINATE CHILDREN WITH ADULTS! WE ARE THE SAME HUMAN BEINGS WITH RIGHTS TO BE RESPECTED!
Very good! You do a nice job of transitioning from Adora's ideas to your own, and I like your examples.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though - are your PA and TA's really adults? I don't think so. They are teenagers! And part of the reason they are so hard on you guys is because they experience the same thing as KMLA students. Maybe it is kind of an "escape" for them, and a chance to be at the top of the ladder instead of the bottom. Only during GLPS will they be allowed to be a bit messy, so you have to understand them. Most of them really like you guys, and it is their job to give you "tough love." :)
Nice work!
