Competition is just in the nature of our world. It happens everywhere, especially as a child, whether competing for the top spot at the nearby school, or playing a sport, such as cricket or football/soccer. Children, however, react to competition in different ways. Some rise to the challenge and enjoy the struggle that it takes to reach the top of the podium. Sadly, others cave in from the pressure and stress that occur when pushed to excel, burning them out from the activity they enjoyed previously. 

​Lifelong learning begins as early as your infant years. An infant is taught by their mother on how to crawl, walk, speak, and eat. That’s only the beginning of the infant’s learning path, and this pattern will continue as they gain more mentors in every leap they take. Getting education is a fundamental right of children. On the other hand, teaching itself also cultivates the mind, since you have to explain complicated topics in words that your student will understand. I was able to have an opportunity to teach a class about saxophone for I LIGHT students. The class discussed the parts of the saxophone, the genres of saxophone, and some famous saxophonists as well. Overall, it went close to how I thought it would go, and I was able to get an insight from teaching my short class.

​We are aware of the state of migrant children in India. These kids have little to no access to education. These children leave their homes for another place where they could try to better their lives. Some go alone, and some go with their parents. The reality, unfortunately, has other plans for them, and in most cases, children lose their ability to live like children. The reality forces them to grow up so fast, and they must work in menial jobs to make their ends meet.

The Indian Constitution, which is a progressive document, mentioned education as a free and compulsory right (Under Articles 21-A, 45, and 51A-k). It ensures that the states and private citizens must take part in providing education to children between the age groups of six to fourteen years old. It is quite unfortunate that laws are rules written on paper. India’s laws are not as strong as the West, and in most cases, people tend to ignore the plight of underprivileged children.

Human rights activists always spoke against hanging people to death but hardly spoke about hungry people. Around 8.9% of the world’s population, i.e. 663 million (Food and agriculture organization, UN) people, are undernourished, which implies that their minimum caloric intake is lower than the needed amount.

The World Hunger Index combines three indicators: undernourishment, child underweight, and child mortality. According to the Global Hunger Index in 2021, which was adopted by the International Food Policy Research Institute, Somalia was the most affected country by hunger and malnutrition
