The simplest answer is at often times is the best answer. As people grow they tend to split into more groups as they try to find a sense of identity in the world. From the time we are kids until we grow up, so much changes for us. Different schools, jobs, the dynamics of a family can change, and so much happens as we move through life. Sometimes all of this experience gives us a biased and highly sensitive mindset that is supremely subjective. Children are innocent. So many kids are born into the mayhem and terrifying places that exist on Earth, but for children raised in a healthy family environment really have it made. I decided to do some research into humanitarian projects that children have started. Giving success to a child who dreams of making our planet a better place to live is too inspiring to pass up. A young girl named Alexandra opened her first Lemonade stand for children with cancer when she was only 4 years old. Since she opened, her name has travelled to lemonade stands across the country. Shortly after basketball enthusiast Austin turned 9 years old, he saw a video that changed his life. It is a movie about children who have lost their parents to AIDS. Austin started his organization, Hoops of hope the world’s largest free-throw marathon, dedicated to raising money for orphaned children from across the globe and providing them with food, education, and health care. 12 year old Craig perspective was changed forever when he stumbled upon a tragic story of child slavery in the newspaper. He was so motivated to make a change for these children that he gathered his closest school friends to found Free The Children, an organization dedicated to empowering and educating kids all around the world about how to make this planet a better place for everybody. The list goes on and on, and there are articles all over the internet that boast the kind hearts of the children in our population. A society ruled by children may be far fetched, but everyone who has grown up in this world owes it to themselves to think back to when they were kids. If we all remember the time and effort people put in to help us grow up to be big and strong maybe we can return the favor by doing our part to do good, whatever that may uniquely mean for each of us.
