When I was seven years-old, I watched Sesame Street and drew in a coloring book. I also talked to my stuffed animals. (Shelly the technicolor dinosaur puppet was a great conversation partner.)
In India, many seven year-olds are holding down jobs. They’re helping their shopkeeper parents, driving tractors on family farms, or selling magazines on the streets. I recently met a camel driver in Rajasthan who looked seven or eight years-old. He spoke three languages—English, Hindi, and a local dialect—and guided caravans of obstinate camels with ease, lightly tugging at their reigns, transitioning them from trot to run. Pretty amazing. What were you doing at age seven?

ReplyDeleteat seven years old I was easily washing the dishes on chair in the comfort of my home that my mom and dad provided for me. I think it is amazing that across the globe children live the lives of workers when I didn't have to worry about that until 17.

I love your pictures! I haven't left California before, let alone the United States. I love being whisked away through the blogs of others. Such a blessing in my little Californian life :).
