Meet number 7 billion
In" Meet number 7 billion" Achieve 3000 points out how one child named Danica in the Philippines was the 7 billionth child since she was born on October 30,2011. She was born 2 minutes before midnight, her birthday would've been close to a Monday, if it she were more 2mins later. This article includes some background of the child parents and what they get for having a 7 billionth person. One fact that stood out was that UN officials gave the child parents gifts since she was the 7 billionth person. I think the baby is very lucky because many babies come in this world and they don't get rewarded for being born, and this baby didn't have to do anything nor did her parents for her to get rewarded. I think that many people would wish something like this could happen to their child, with no cost being involved. This article reminds me of somebody getting rewarded a scholarship or trophy for doing something that led them to deserve it. But in this case a baby just gets attention since she was pointed out as the 7 billionth person in the world. This article makes me think differently about what people are getting noticed for. I never knew that people can get noticed for being a specific number when they're born, it's just a little surprising to me. I believe that what this baby got was a little unfair and i feel like other people should get something for just being born into the world no matter what number they say you are.
