7 . As a female athlete in 2021, I think about change all the time. I think about how much has changed since I first began skiing, and the boys didn’t think I belonged because I was a girl. Now we ski together and they know I belong.
And I think about how much still needs to change, and how we need to keep pushing the envelope for women athletes to be treated as fairly as the men. And how I can use my voice and my platform to help make that change. I’ve always dreamed big. My mom taught me that from day one. She taught me that the first person to believe in you must be yourself.
The ideas of “good” and “bad”, when it comes to the way you behave or portray yourself, are so subjective (主观的), that if you attempt to conform (顺从) to them, you’ll never fully succeed. I learned that the only way to fit a mold, is to create one for yourself, and that takes courage. And now I want to be a strong female role model for all young girls. To show them what they can accomplish through sport, through skiing. To show them what is possible when you have the courage to dream big, and follow those dreams.
One of my mottos is: “If it were easy, it wouldn’t be a dream.” Adversity (逆境) and possibility of failure are what make life interesting. When I learn a new trick, it’s okay to be scared. It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. It takes courage to be able to fall. But then, you use that courage to your advantage, and you work harder, and practice more, and eventually you land that new trick.

8 . Technology is more than an abstract concept associated with advanced tools and systems. It also shapes the way people behave, grow and develop, both within their own lives and in their relationships with others. While technology has developed over thousands of years, the last century has seen an explosion in technology that has influenced fundamental changes in how humans see the world and interact with others. Specifically, the Internet and mobile devices have completely changed the way people interact with each other. There has been a debate going on whether technology is benefiting human communication or ruining (破坏) it.
Undoubtedly, technology is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills. In business, office employees and managers use technology to send emails to one another, which is considered a communication skill. On social media, just share a few of your images and people start communicating on and about your images according to their viewpoint. With the outbreak of COVID-19, in order to work on the projects, the students use their phones to reach their teachers and classmates.
However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them. With cell phones, most people think that it’s easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person. Lucas Lengacher, an undergraduate from Huntington University, claims in his article that at least 42.91% people respond to messages immediately yet only 2.83% people don’t check their phones in the morning. In his research he found that almost 60 percent of people felt disconnected from others around when they were on their phones.

9 . Hanan Al Hroub, from Bethlehem in the West Bank, was awarded the Global Teacher Prize at a ceremony in Dubai. Hroub accepted the award “as a win for all teachers in general and Palestinian teachers in particular”.
Hroub became a teacher after her children and husband were shot on their way home from school. “It changed my children’s behavior, personalities and studies,” she said in a video. “I felt that I was alone in getting my children through this. No teacher had helped me get my children back on track.”
With no help from the education system, Hroub decided to teach her children on her own. She started inventing games at home and inviting their neighbors’ children to participate. Gradually, her children’s behavior and grades began to improve. Now she teaches by using playing and learning at school to help children fight violence. “Some children may not directly experience violence in our country. However, they see it on the screens and in social media and that still affects them,” Hroub said.
“I tell all the teachers, whether they are Palestinian or from around the world that ‘Our job is humane and its goals are noble. We must teach our children that their only weapon is knowledge.’ Teachers could change the world.”
Pope Francis announced in a video conference that Hroub had won the award. Francis said that a part of education is to teach children how to play in order to learn the joy of life and that teachers are the builders of peace and unity. “I would like to congratulate Hanan Al Hroub for winning this prize due to the importance that she gave to the role of playing in child’s education,” Francis said.
