We are a group of global citizens , from different regions on our planet earth , we are different from each other , but we try to learn how to integrate each other , by  be a global citizens and this is our story.

Sina was only ten years old, but she was a very curious girl. She loved to read and learn new things. One day she wanted to read one of her father's magazines. She picked up a magazine and started turning the pages.As she was turning the pages, a title caught her attention. It writes 'Global citizens'. She looked at the pictures and began to read the text. This issue was a little complicated for her. But she was trying to read carefully to understand the subject. While she was reading, her father entered in. Seeing her daughter carefully reading something, 'What are you reading, Sina?' he asked. Sina said, 'I'm reading about global citizens, but I can not understand, dad.Do you know this?' 

Her father said, 'Global citizens, well, I know. 'This is a very important issue,' he replied.Her father went on telling ‘a   global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world – and their place in it. They take an active role in their community and work others to make our planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer.’ 

Sina was thinking of her father's explanation but she could not understand exactly. She asked ‘Well,am I a global citizen? How can I become a global citizen?’ Her father smiled at her question and said ‘of course,you can.’ Sina asked ‘what should I do? ‘Her father spoke slowly’ Well to be a citizen of the world,  you must know and have some qualifications.First you should have a great respect for all people   who live in a different country than you and are different from you in every way.You should be respectful to different opinions.’ 

Sina thought for a while about what her father had said.Then she said’ well, I respect my friends and everyone around me, I think I can respect everyone. Yes, I want to be global citizen, I can be a global citizen.Dad, you must help me you must explain everything about global citizen.’ Her father was very pleased with her daughter,he said ’if you want I will explain everything.But now I’m very hungry let’s eat dinner. We will continue later.’

After dinner, Sina sat next to her father, still eager to learn more about the qualities of a global citizen. Her father knew this, so he smiled and completed Sina, dear global citizen, especially the youth, who are the generation closest to the spirit of the age. They possess a cosmic awareness of the fate of the universe and human tampering with its systems, and the negative effects of that tampering on the universe and the environment. The global citizen lives the problem as he seeks to contribute to its solution. Sina put her hand on her face and thought then said 

“Yes, Dad. I participated with my school friends in the environmental committee, where the teacher asked us to carry out a campaign toclean the school yards and plant ornamental plants in the school basins.

We also put trash cans in a large way on all areas of the school in order to increase One of the beauty of our school environment, as well as the other students’ type, is the need to adhere to the school’s regulations. Sina's father: Well done Sina, you did a very good job and took a new step on the path to global citizenship. Sina, yes, Dad, I will continue to do so. I achieved two points, my father, from the qualities of a global citizen. Would you please complete the rest of the points for me. Sina's father smiled and said to her: Well done, my dear daughter, I will continue for you tomorrow. Now go to sleep, for tomorrow you have school. Sina okay dad and thank you for your trap good night. Sina's father:Goodnight, see you soon

Sina had many friends; they were from different countries from all over the world. They went to the same school and did everything together.

One day , Sina and her friends were playing in the public garden. They sat down and chatted with each other, and then they started to play. 

A strange boy whose color was black came and asked them if he could play with them. 

They looked strangely at him because of his skin color.

They all refused and continued to play. The boy left and started to play alone. He was sad because he didn't know why they wouldn't let him play. Sina felt sorry for him because she remembered her fathers' speech. She started to say to her friends what does it mean to be good citizens. She highlighted the importance of equality and diversity. He said '' We need diversity of thought from different people in the world to face the new challenges.''

She said it doesn't matter what our skin color is, in this life we are all the same. Diversity completes us. We shouldn't distinguish people based on color or gender. 

Everyone looked at each other and all said in one voice '' you are right''. Also, she said What we have to do… is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities. They called for that boy and played all together. They knew that he is in the same school where they are. In the end, Sina invited him to her house to introduce him to her parents.

When Sina went to school the next day, he saw his friend Alex and went to see him and they started talking. Sina's friends were looking at them strangely and one of them came forward and called him to Sinai. Sinai told them to wait. Alex was very upset about this situation and said it was not important, he said see you later.

Realizing the situation, Sina, remembered what she had read in the magazine about  global citizens last day, turned to her friends and said, "White, yellow, black. Here are the three colors of people! The colors of the world reflect on people, people, people, colors and continents. Asian yellow, European white and African black. ..the ancient tricolors of the world." It reflects human biodiversity. Diversity and equality make us better. We must have a never-ending hope for an equal world, and we will do it."At that moment the bell rang.

Sina's speech impressed his friends so much that several of his friends came to Sina's side and said that what he told was very interesting and that they wanted to learn and research the subject. Sinai was surprised and happy. Later, Alexde came to them and said, "Even though our religion, language, race, color, customs and traditions are different, we are all human. Bullying each other does not change this fact. We will go to them eventually. Stay human .. Again." The foundations of friendship that would last for many years were laid that day.

Sina and her father left the house with the coat, jacket, pattan, food and hot tea and walked to the children. The children looked at Sina and her father with anxious eyes.

The children began to talk to each other in fear and became worried. The children stood in surprise. They greeted each other and started chatting. They gave the materials to the children, they did not know what to do with their joy, and they thanked them very much.

Sinan's father said, "Welcome to our country, this world is all of us in this world, everything will be fine if we are good in this world."
