Have you ever thought about turning
back time to when you were just a young child, when you were having the time of
your life just being a kid and wanting to relive your experiences as a child? But
of course, many of us would answer yes to this question. It is safe to say that
amazing and fun childhood experiences are important in one’s life. Every one of
us that are at the age that is considered to be passed a child’s age had
childhood experiences, either they were great or not the best experiences in
our lives. Those were the times where most of us had little problems to worry
about, he times where most of us have a “puppies, rainbows” and innocent
mindsets.
The youth are an eventful bunch. To
put it simply, they're all distinctive and creative, but they're also ignorant
and blind to what's going on around them. They are what we refer to as "vulnerable"
to the world's threats. An example of a threat they are very vulnerable to is
the COVID-19, so they need to be protected at all costs from the dangerous
virus. Although, threats and dangers can occasionally be their own family or
anyone they trust. Not all children had or will have a great childhood because
of the neglect and abuse they receive from the one’s that they trust and are
supposed to be the one’s that help and guide young children like them towards
becoming a great person when they grow up. This can be due to an unstable
family, insecurities, or the circumstances they are in. But no matter the
reason/s may be, it is still a duty for guardians and parents to unconditionally
love, support, help, guide, and raise a child well. This is not only for the
good of the child but also for the future of our world. As the national hero of
the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal, said, “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan”
translates to “The youth is the hope of the country.”. The youth is the hope of
the country. The youth is the hope of the world we are living on. So, guidance
and education are essential to a child so that they will be educated and aware
of things in our world. And so, they can become amazing people when they’re older.
Children are very curious, may be
annoying, pure, innocent, cute, creative, carefree little ones who are
oblivious to the world around them. So we must protect, guide, help and educate
them with the knowledge we obtained in our life. Protecting and treating a
child and their rights is needed if we wish for them to be brilliant and have a
great life ahead of them. For they are the hope of the future of earth and
mankind.

Hey there! I love how your article was simple yet everything you wanted to point out is there. I agree that our childhood experiences and memories are important for every individual, for we are only going to be young once, and youth is irreversible.
ReplyDeleteI just admire how you delivered your words. The way you constructed your article is on point as of my observation. Also, I do have to agree that the youth is the hope of our country. It is them whom can make a change for the near future.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I appreciate very much the post on the National Children’s Month Celebration coz’ it really gives important on the rights and privileges of children in the community and their own rights as well in the society.
ReplyDeleteThe youth is the hope of the country indeed. I agree with your point. Without proper protection, guidance, help and education for the next generation, then our future might not be led beneficially.
