T21: Discrimination

 Though many people may think the opposite, discrimination is still present in our everyday lives. Some may not see because of the people they are surrounded by, but, that is why coming out of your comfort zone and realising that everyone is not as lucky as you are will make you realize the actual truth.

People get discriminated because of many reasons, because of the colour of their skin, their gender, where they are from, what they work on, how much money they have... But not one of these reasons should be a pretext to make someone feel less valid than another just because they are simply different.

Dealing with discrimination is present in our lives since we are kids, we may not recognise it at such a young age, but it is present. For women, it starts when boys would not let them play football, for non-white people when they are not invited to a birthday party, and for people with disabilities when they are taken away from their friends' side because it takes them more time to do what a kid without a disability does.

These are only examples that were present in our childhood but we did not realize but, thinking about I bet you can think of many of these situations still happening but instead of in a school, in an office, in college and in many other places adults frequently visit.

  DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH BRAINSTORMING: What does this picture make me feel? : I feel sad but also angry and furious. Why do I feel like that? : Because I feel like it's not fair that this man has to leave his family because of a war where he has nothing to do. What produces this feeling in me? : The fact that such old things as wars are still going on even though it's proven that they're useless. When watching this image all I can think of is how there are two lives being torn apart right in front of the eyes of the entire world. Wars are often filled with numbers, the number of people that have died, that have survived but when we see them in the flesh that's a different thing, seeing this couple saying what may be their last goodbye is sad and so is the fact that none of them chose to be part of this war. I also feel furious because of the injustice that's happening, thinking that you could lose a family member or a friend to war, to something pointless makes me i...

T17: A good friend

  As someone who has had friends her whole life, I recognise the importance of having someone to count on. There are many types of friends but the hardest one to find is without any doubt, a good friend. As I have already said, there are many types of friends. For instance, there are those that you only salute when you see each other at a party, friends from your childhood whom you do not talk to as often as you would like to but whenever you see them it seems like not a single day has gone by since you last saw them, and then there are good friends. A good friend is someone who is always there, through thick and thin. They always have the best intentions and even though you may not talk to each other every day, it is not necessary because you know that your bond can't ever be broken. I am lucky enough to say that I have many good friends that make my days worthwhile and I am proud of that because what kind of friends you have also says something about yourself.
