Imagine a World

Imagine a world where no one cares. You visit a beach with litter all over the sand. You visit a school where people push each other and call people names. You visit a mall where robbers steal everything, and customer just watch. This is what our community would look like if no one cared! Anne Frank stated that, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before trying to improve the world,” and I believe the same. I believe that people can improve the world around them. You can start this by making a small difference which will later become a big one.

One way that people can improve the world us by teaching others what they know. In the book Holes Stanley, the protagonist, teaches another boy, Zero, how to read and write the letters of the alphabet. Spelling words aloud helps Zero take his mind off the pain that he is going through in the arid regions of Camp Green Lake in Texas. In this way, Stanley helps Zero survive. Doing something as small as spelling four lettered words, can help save a life. If doing something small will save a life, imagine what something big would do.

Taking a stand against what is wrong is another way to improve the world around us. During the twelve years of the Holocaust, people who were not Jews, in fact Christians and Muslims, stood up against what is wrong. They did this, even though they knew that they could get killed or arrested for it, because they knew that being harsh to jews was wrong. Although many were caught and put to death, because these people stood up for what was wrong, more Jews are living today.

Even in our everyday lives, we can take responsibilities to help save our community. For example, during a hiking trip I took for girl scouts, we walked three miles. Out of those three miles, we collected three trash bags full of litter. In fact, some of these bags overflowed. If we hadn’t done this, many animals and other wildlife could have gotten sick or even died. In this case, we saved the lives of animals and bugs, but in Anne’s case, you could have saved the lives of people.

As you can see, this quote can mean a lot of different things to a lot of people. This quote can make you think and wonder, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before trying to improve the world.” You can help the world today by teaching others what you know, take a stand against what is wrong, and take responsibilities to help save your community.
