The World I Want to Live In

 Everyone has their vision of the world they want to live in. I am no different. As I grow and learn more about the world around me, I begin to imagine what is the world that I want to live in. Maybe a world where world peace is not just a dream, maybe a world justice system is not based on how wealthy or powerful an individual is, or just maybe a world without racism and bullying in any sorts of way. In this blog, I will share what the world that I want to live in looks like and why I believe it is something that humanity must strive for.

  In this world, everyone will have their voice heard and respected by others, so no one will be silenced because of their different background, beliefs, or status with society. In my world, no leaders could abuse their power for self-interest, same as police brutality to innocent people. Racial discrimination will not exist, so people come together as friends and understand each other as they encounter one another on the street. Children grow up in their neighbourhood feeling safe, with value and sense of belonging. Laws exist to not only punish the wrongdoings of people, but to also protect and give power to people as well. Nations will resolve differences not through war and violence, but through peaceful negotiation. Justice will not mean rich people will have it, but it is for everyone one else regardless of their status in life.




  I can see how bullying can have a lasting impact on a person from my own experience in primary school. Being isolated and made fun of because of doing things in your own way. This creates emotional burdens that can stick with you for the rest of your life and I understand that feeling all too well myself. This is why the world I dream to live in matters so much to me. It is not just an imaginary world that I want to live in but one I wish I had long ago. Today, we still have larger issues like racism, inequality, and corruption all around the world which might slow us down from changing the world. Meanwhile, injustice also happens every day, and many voices are ignored or covered up by those who have more wealth and power. However, all of these bigger issues will changed if we begin to solve the smaller issues like bullying first. I believe a peaceful, and fair world is not just a dream if we can change the world together.


  So, what is the reason holding us back from making this kind of world real, you may ask. Honestly, a lot of it comes down to how people think and judge. Some folks still judge others without even knowing them. There’s also greed, fear, and systems that have been unfair for way too long. Change isn’t easy, I get that. But it has to start somewhere. Maybe it starts with small actions such as listening more, being kind, speaking up when something’s wrong. Maybe it starts when we try to learn and understand each other better. I  believe in humans that we can make this world a better place if everyone give more attention to all these changes that we had to make. The peaceful and fair world I dream about? It could end up possible if we keep this up and don't back down. We can't give up especially now if we want this world to be better, I know that many started to change, we had come so far. Heads up, look forward, future awaits.

A Day Without Water

You know how some people say, “You never know what you’ve got until it’s gone”. That hits hard when it comes to water. Let’s imagine just one full day without water. I wake up feeling still quite sleepy, go to brush my teeth and where is the water from the tap? Completely dry. No water. Not even a single drop. So there will be no water for shower, clean clothes, and definitely coffee. Mom is in the kitchen looking completely stressed because she can’t boil water for cooking breakfast for the family, and the dirty plates from last night are still piling up in the sink. We all are already running late for work and school, and the day hasn’t even started.    At school, it gets worse, way worse than I think. The toilets are all locked up, yet somehow the stench from the toilet escaped and the smell is disgusting. Everyone in class is uncomfortable, whispering about how the waterless morning affect them from getting a shower or washing their faces in the morning. It is time for sch...

My Invention to Save The Earth

Image
  The Earth is in trouble, whether it is climate change, pollution, and rising temperatures. There are the things we hear about all the time now. The oceans are full of plastic waste, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and animals are dying for nothing because everything comes down to human. Then it got me thinking, what if I could come up with something that actually helps the situation. The answer I pull out is an invention that could fix these problems, even if it only fix a little bit. That’s where I have this idea which comes in a small, smart gadget that could clean the ocean and help save the planet. Picture this, a little floating pods scattered across the ocean, doing their job quietly and efficiently. I call them AquaCure Pods and they’re like ocean cleaners without human controlling them. Each of them having solar panels on top to absorb sunlight because solar powered energy is cost efficient. These cleaners flows across the sea, sucking in water, while filteri...
