Importance of Children

Children are always on my mind. I can't stop thinking about them. Whether it is my 2 year old cousin, the children in my community or the kids around the world; they hold a special place in my heart. There is happiness that I receive from their presence. The world seems perfect when I spend time with them. Nothing else matters. My heart yearns to be with kids. It yearns to help them, to teach them and to make them smile. When I give my time to children, I gain so much more. You receive so much when you give. They usually don’t expect much from people. They accept people just as they are. They long for our presence. When we spend time with kids, we show them that communication is important. We show them that interaction is important. Most significantly, we show them that love is important. There are so many children who are neglected and mistreated; many children who are suffering, with no one to care for them. Who do they run to? Who is responsible for them? Are there people who know how to help? Sometimes assistance can hinder people even more. It is important to become aware of the needs of children because they are the future. I think that the disabled and displaced children need a little bit more attention and care. They should be given equal opportunities to grow and learn. How can design aid in offering better opportunities for disabled and displaced children? To me, the two most significant places for children are their homes and their schools- the places where they grow and learn. If physical limitations are eliminated for the disabled or displaced children, they will be given the freedom to grow and learn. If more people are given the opportunities to experience life to the fullest and given the opportunities to be educated, a brighter future will be closer. That is the goal.
