=Creating A Better Place =

==Imagine. Your in a world where nobody cared. Windows would be broken, many people homeless,and houses with no doors. Can you picture yourself waking up on the floor? In the quote, "How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." Anne Frank seemed to be saying that if we help people around us it would created a better place. I believe that people can improve the world around them. ==

==One way to improve the world is by teaching others what you know. For example, in the book Holes, Stanley discovers that one of his camp mates doesn't know how to read. At first Stanley sounded very selfish and reluctant, but later on he decided that he would help Zero how to read and write. In the same way, I can teach other kids how to play softball. Even though I am not as good as the other players on my team. ==

==Another way that people can improve the world around them is by taking responsibility to solve a problem. In the movie The Blind Side. Leigh discerns that Michael is homeless and has no parent. Leigh, the main character helps Michael to go and find his real parents. As Leigh once said "There's a moment of orderly silence before a football play begins. Players are in position,linemen are frozen,and anything is possible. Then, like a traffic accident, stuff begins to randomly collide. From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bones,closer to 4 seconds than 5." What Leigh means by this is that you will make mistakes in life sometimes breaking your first bone, falling while taking your first step, and or randomly colliding into someone. ==

==A third way that people can improve the world around them is by volunteering in the community. For example, many people nowadays are running 5K's for breast cancer. Breast cancer races are one of the world's largest 5K's. A way for kids to volunteer in the community is helping in an animal shelters. In the real world today kids in my neighborhood help out in animal shelters. ==

==Now imagine the world being a perfect place. Windows fixed, no more people homeless, houses with doors. Now you don't have to wake up on the floor! See how easy it is to improve our world. Just one step and our world is tens times better than the day before. A world in distress or a world with peace you decide.==
