Personal Response
Develop an evidence- based personal response, demonstrating self awareness
This project has really opened me up to the horrifying and saddening world of child soldiers. I feel very sympathetic towards the children and I cannot begin to comprehend the horrors they have to live through every day of their life. I am in full support of organizations such as the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, Unicef and the Red Cross as they are doing their very best to end this horrifying idea of children in war.
Over 300,000 children are fighting in war and that is a number that I believe must decrease now. Andy Warhol once said: “They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”. This quote could not be more befitting to what I am trying to promote. We always think that someone else will fix the situation but in truth we have to fix the situation our self. Clearly not enough is done to end the use of child soldiers that is why we, anyone of us, must act out now because one man can make a difference.
I quote Martin Luther King Jr. as I say “I have a dream”. I have a dream that one day sooner rather than later, children from all over the world will live a life every child should live, one with education, shelter, love and nourishment because no child should have to live through the pain and suffering through which child soldiers live through.
