= Time to Change the World =

==Imagine. A world was care free. Everyone would leave trash around the streets, nothing would bloom, and everything would be broken. But most important, no one would care about other people, just themselves. Could you live there? Because I couldn't. Would you improve the places around you? Because I would. No one would care. No one would improve. Anne Frank said "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." That's how it should be. Everyone cleans, has hospitality, and enjoys their town. People can improve the world around them by teaching others what they know, taking responsibility to solve a problem and becoming evolved in their community. ==

==First, people can improve the world around them by teaching others what they know. In Holes, Stanley taught Zero how to read and write. Stanley did this because he wanted Zero not to feel Zero anymore. I could do this in a way by teaching little kids how to swim and made sure they wouldn't drown. Helping the community could help a lot to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, godmothers, godfathers, and family's all over the community. It helps many people out. ==

==Taking responsibility to save a problem from happening is another way to change the world around you. For example, in the Blind Side, the family helped out a homeless person off the street and were nice enough to bring him into their own home. With little food. Little water. Little everything. They did this because they cared. This relates to the quote because before something bad happened to the homeless teenager, they helped him. In my own life, I could help a little girl in the mall find her parents before someone really bad kidnaps her. Take responsibility before something bad occurs. ==

==Lastly, to help improve in the world around you, you can become involved in your own community, or volunteer near you. A few months ago, when my grandma was in the hospital, so I knew how she felt. Since I knew this I decided to go around the hospital and cheer people up. Of course I asked for permission and it was a yes! They said it would be wonderful and that I would be a big help. I would go from room to room to give the patients a little show. I would read, deliver their lunch, and made them happy. This really made them feel contented! This relates to the quote because it is like when you help elders, you are helping out in the community, which makes the world around you a better place to live in. Helping out in the community is very important and it makes people have moments of entertainment and enjoyment. ==

==Now, imagine a world where everyone cares. Everyone cleans up everything. There is no trash anywhere. It is all crisp and clean, so nothing is dirty. Even though you don;t always want to clean, it can make the world around you more enjoyable. Do you want to live in a world where everything was trash or do you want to live in a world that was helpful, beautiful and clean? Pick. When you walk through a community where people care, you see people helping each other. Younger kids help the elderly by planting flowers, carrying groceries, and mowing their lawn. Older people help kids by reading to them and telling stories of the "good old days." I think that Anne Frank would be proud to see this happening because all she wanted were for people to get along and have her freedom back, so she would be happy. For the sake of your safety, your neighbors safety, and all the animals' safety please improve the world around you. ==
