A Glimpse Of Akanksha

Today I had an interesting and amazing experience in Akanksha. The students were really intelligent and brilliant. I enjoyed talking to the students about youth citizenship and one thing they would like to change in this world or their community. I was surprised with their answers because they wanted to change people’s mindset of their perspectives. Most of them talked about gender inequality and discrimination. After talking about youth citizenship and their community, we talked about what they liked to do in their community. I asked one of the students what she likes to do and she told that she likes to go to school. I asked her why and she told me that she likes school because she is able to learn about many things and hang out with her friends. I was surprised of her answer because I thought she would said something else besides school. Another thing that I enjoyed is hearing the teachers talk about their inspiration for education. Their stories were inspiring because they weren’t sure what they wanted to do for their career job. As they had the opportunity to experience and work in Akanksha, they realized that it was their passion to become a teacher or principal. They wanted to support and educated the students as best they could. Many children don’t have the opportunity to go to school and it is very important to them. Learning about the school has taught me that we all have common ideas like changing the gender inequality. We all either experience or saw it happen in our community. We are all different people but we share the same ideas and experiences.
