Freedom - Asmi Patankar

Freedom is a unique feeling. It is felt differently by everyone. I experience freedom when I play with my friends. I enjoy running around without adults supervising me all the time. When I play with my friends, I get exercise also happiness. Honestly, the experiences are too good for words. 

Ultimately, playing in the ground with my great friends is my freedom.

Freedom - Samruddhi Patankar

To me, the meaning of Freedom is:

The power of the right to act, speak or think 

as one wants and the state of not being imprisoned or enslaved

An example of the freedom part came in my life. 

In 2020 there was no freedom because there was a lockdown, and because of the lockdown, there was no possibility to go out and do whatever we wanted, so that time, there was no freedom.

Find Your Calling - Prarthana Rastogi

Your career is what you're paid for, Your calling is what you're made for.

                                            - Steve Harvey

Finding your calling means following your passion and doing what you feel happy about. Everyone has their calling. You may have found it but not know about it or you might have to find it . Your calling says a lot about who you are and what you want to be. We shouldn't push ourselves to do something in which we have no interest; we should follow our dreams, which makes us happy from within. Parents should help their children with their calling and support them whatever their children see their future in. Everyone wants to become successful in the future but what makes them different is how are they successfully portray what are passionate about. When a child wants to do something unique they shouldn't be discouraged. Parents shouldn't put pressure on their children if they don't want to become someone their parents want because it can lead their child to go in depression. Someone wants to become a doctor, engineer, sports person and many more. Like me, I want to become a sports star. I love playing sports. I am passionate about basketball, badminton, skating and cricket. My parents always support me in contributing in their way to become what I want to and I'm really happy and feel lucky about it.
