Looking back from 2040
Celia, Greece, Age 15I hope in a future where colour, gender and belief doesn’t matter
It’s 2040 and it feels like ages since I was in high school. I remember people constantly facing racism, I remember prejudice dominating the world and I remember people fighting for injustice to disappear. Being black, being gay, being a female, where things out of your control that you could be judged for. I remember black people being killed by the police, I remember gay people being isolated from the world, I remember women in many parts of the world being killed for going to school. The funny thing is that the world was believed to be friendly then. It’s 2040 and now I realise that the world was unfriendly and dangerous. Now it’s a different situation. Now the world has taken a step forward causing changes in the legal system, even though people’s mind haven’t been changed.
Feeling
When I think about the future I feel intrigued about the challenges I might face and sometimes anxious that I won’t succeed.
Influence
I think I do have influence on the future, mostly by the actions I am gonna take as future worker and as a part of a social group.
