5 Things that we Take for Granted

1. Opportunity to go to school, learn and make friends
2. Having a computer and phone to be able to talk with people even when you're not with them
3. Competing in organized sports
4. Having a pantry full of food to eat
5. Being able to go for jogs without the fear of being attacked on the street

In the news a lot we hear about how people are mistreated and not able to do the same things that I have the opportunity to do. Being apart of Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan has really changed my perspective on some of the things that I take for granted in my life. I have learned form that group that girl and women in Afghanistan don't have the same rights that I do. They aren't permitted to go to school and when they walk alone in the streets they risk having acid thrown in their face by men who don't believe they should have the same rights. Sometimes I think about all of those girl who won't ever get to do the same things that I do everyday. I wish so badly that they could do the same things that I do, but right now I know that it isn't going to happen. However, in the future I hope that all the world will be equal and everyone will be able to experience the things that I experience everyday.
