Equality of opportunity
Equality of opportunity means that everyone has the same chances of getting something they want. For example, if you and your friends all want to get a certain toy, and you all have the same amount of money, you would have an equal opportunity to get the toy. That means that all of you have the same chance to get it. It doesn't matter if one of you is taller or smarter than the other. What matters is that you all have the same access to the toy and a fair chance to get it.
