 * Imagine a world where nobody cared. How would, how could people live there? Anne Frank, just one of the thousands of Jews that were taken and killed during the Holocaust said "How wonderful is it that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." Most of her family was killed in concentration camps, or hiding from the Nazis. It was World War II at the time, and she managed to be optimistic, even when going through some of the most depressing times. I think she meant that no matter what situation you are in, you can make life better for the people around you. I believe that people can improve the world around them by teaching others, taking responsibility to solve problems, and becoming involved in the community.**======


 * One way to do this is teaching others what you know. In the book //Holes// by Louis Sachar, the protagonist find out that one of his camp friends does not know how to read. He risks getting in trouble just to help his friend. This is a big deal because when you learn how to read, there are so many possibilities in life. Also going with that, Katherine Barlow from //Holes// too, taught adults and kids. In the same way, I could teach little kids some gymnastics skills! It may seem some people don't want to learn, but most will want to contain this amazing information.**


 * Another way is to take responsibility to solve a problem. This means to stand up, and create a solution. For example, Clara Barton was noticing about all the injuries and deaths in war. She wanted to find a way to prevent these. As a resolution, she became a nurse in the war. That wasn't it though. Clara then noticed that America was the only country not part of the International Red Cross! And you guessed it. She soon captured the title of founder of the American Red Cross. It seems as if the whole process took just a few days, but Clara Barton had many career changes and troubles to help these people.**


 * Lastly, you can become involved in the community. Volunteer at an animal shelter, or how about a soup kitchen? There are so many possibilities. I play the piano, and once or two times before, I have gone to a nursing home and played music for senior citizens. It is really easy to help. One of my friends Bunny shaved her head for kids with cancer. While it's true that some people have very limited time to do these things, you can find a way to make time.**


 * Imagine a place where everyone cared. People would love living there. Staring down at pretty pansies, you turn to your right and see a small poodle being walked by a happy family of four. Soon enough, a plane glides down to its landing spot, and citizens joyfully walk off, like ants escaping their ant hole. You are in Utopia. Wouldn't you like to live there? Plato, an ancient Greek came up with this concept of Utopia. It is a perfect world, with no crime or danger. Remember what Anne Frank said. Even though some people are not willing to assist, us we could make the world a great place by teaching others, taking responsibility to solve a problem, and becoming involved in the community.**
