Changing the World

Anne Frank one said, “How wonderful it is that nobody need to wait a single moment before trying to improve the world.” By this quote I think she meant that you don’t have to wait to grow up and change the world, you can start now to change the world. Imagine a eight year-old child changing the world into a better place. What if there was a bad person trying to make the Holocaust happen again, would you try and prevent this tragedy happening again? I believe people can improve the world by teaching others what they know, helping others achieve their goals, and volunteering in the community.

One way people can improve the world around them is by teaching others what they know. In the book Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen, the main character Rivka, did this. She tried to teach others what she knew because she wanted to keep everyone alive in the camp. She said “don’t give thanks, pass it on.” Later in the book, Hannah Stern saves Rivka’s life. She taught everyone to keep going, and never stop. Rivka taught them to keep hope in the worst situations. If everyone took her advice, then everyone would have position attitudes and actions.

Helping others achieve their goal is another way we could improve the world. In the book Holes, the main character, Stanley, helped anyone in need, and was the only boy who had respect for the other boys. This book taught me to help anyone in need. This book taught me never start something you aren’t going to end. If everyone took this advice, they would probably have less chaos in their lives and it would be much better. Just imagine the world in peace. Even though people try and make genocides happen, there are lots of people preventing it from happening.

A third reason is by volunteering in the community. Imagine having one day where everybody gets together and some how improves the community. I try to help my grandma around her house, so that she can get the things she needs done and after she gets time to relax. Many people help the community by donating clothes, and I was one of them by helping my grandmother. Have you done one of these things? If not start now, there is no time to wait until you are older.


 * P** eople today change the world, but they’re too busy on their phones to realize it. Having a day without electronics would be amazing for a teenager. Communities need our help and what if we help them? I definitely think we would make a better difference. How would you feel, and what would you do to keep improving the world? I believe that people can improve the world around them if they start now.
