It was also my cousins 10th birthday |

| I chose to do the most pleasing homework out of the pile |

Last
weekend I had the privilege to travel to Adelaide and attend an UN Youth
Summit, which was held in every capital around Australia at the exact same
time. This year, Australia is lucky enough to hold the G20 Summit, where 20
countries across the globe discuss issues. We are also holding the Y20, which
is the youth equivalent. At this Summit I attended, held by the UN Youth SA, we
discussed local and international issues such as economies, equality, and
refugees. At the end of the day, we broke into three different groups to
discuss one issue each, and our ideas would actually be talked about and
discussed at the G20 and Y20 Summits. I chose to join the group talking about
refugees. I am very passionate about this subject, and in my opinion we should
be welcoming anyone coming to our country, especially when they have no other
choice to flee their home, no matter their use of transport. I feel so privileged
working with other youth in South Australia, and letting politicians know what we
want, and how we would fix issues. I plead you, if you get the chance to do
something even a little bit similar, it is so fun, educational and rewarding!
Take the option up!
