Many a morning we get up and think, “Ugh, why do I have to go to school?” In many poorer countries people can’t go to school and children long for an education.

I asked Sophie about what she thought about this education crisis.

Sophie, do you like school?

“Most of the time, yes.”

What do you want to do when you are older?

“I want to be an anaesthetist.”

How do you feel about the fact that many children can’t go to school and can’t do what they want to when they grow up?

“It’s sad, I feel upset. People don’t get the same opportunities as us and that’s just not right.”

If you had the chance, would you visit one of these countries and help?

“Yes, because I’d love to help change the state of poor countries and help people achieve their dreams.”

Finally, how would you feel if you didn’t go to school?

“Disheartened and I probably wouldn’t have the same ambitions that I do today.”
