Over time, as we continue to discover more of this world, we come into events that open our eyes. “Eye openers,” as they call them, show the many good and bad in people. These moments help us grow and mature into a person. They contribute to a still growing and learning human being despite age and experience.
It is always a wonder how kind or so far down the moral compass a person can be.
The future of any nation, the children can turn out in many different ways depending on their mentors and environment. Not everyone though lives in a stable home.It is an unfortunate reality that children are affected mentally and physically by outside factors they often had no part in.
Yet, the human heart is not lost and there are people whose hearts are big and devote their time in raising children who are in need of support. They embody love in a world where people often forget about the word or perceive it in a different way.
Everyone deserves a chance to have a go at life. The same goes to young people who grew up in a tough environment. Everyone has the right to be equipped properly before they go out into the world.
The role of raising our children is not solely down to parents but to everyone in the community. Our teachers and mentors in the past, though they did not share our blood, they were kind enough to impart wisdom and help us to be molded in the right way. People around us had a part in who we are today.
We all have a role in raising the next generation. The world is changing and the skillsets needed in surviving the modern world is changing along with it. Young adults perhaps know more about these technology dominated societies than any other. They in turn, are turning into mentors for the next generation.
Sustainability within a nation needs its children to be raised right and properly. Investment to these kids are often not enough. Not all kids get to go to schools and learn. If the future is to be bright then children need the chance to learn and be fed by their own leaders and people around them.
The responsibility falls upon everyone in making sure the next generation is equipped for the challenges they will meet later on. Through donations or initiatives any person can give what they can to support children under foster care, making sure they too have a chance at life.
The hope of a nation is not one to be treated lightly but one as precious as all our diamonds. **
