Be Helpful and Caring

            There are so many people in America that don’t really know all the privileges they have. In third world countries there are people that treat individuals like slaves. We are so lucky to have freedom in America. How can I encourage my friends to be more thoughtful and caring? Three things I can do are: showing them the things that we can do in America others can’t, tell them about other countries that experience hardships every day, and tell them about how we have overcome so many things.
            First, I can show them the things that we are able to do in American others can’t. We can wear just about anything and we will not get in trouble or be killed for it., most of the time. Freedom of speech has been given to us so we can say what’s on our mind and we will not be brought down. The store is right down the street for most people, and we can just walk down there and get something we really need. It is not against the law to go outside and play with friends. Going on the Internet, watching television, playing video games and going to the movies are things we are able to do for fun or if we need information. We can do so many things that individuals in other countries might not be able to do.
            Next, I will tell them about other countries that experience hardships every day. In many places people are starving and they only get a tiny bit of food every once in awhile. Starving to death, disease, sickness and wars are killing many of them. We really don’t understand what a hardship is because we might experience one once in our life, but they experience them all the time. Getting used to it is out of the question because it destroys them in every way. Some people in America are trying to help those in need with charities and donations.
            Last, I can help them to know how we have overcome so many things. Wars, famine, slavery, and the government have brought our country down many times. We have overcome those trials and have become very strong. Many things are still going on that could be the end of us, but we are pulling through. Helping others is very important whether it is ourselves or others. Making a difference can and will change the lives of many.
            In conclusion, there are so many people who are in need of help. The three things I can do to help our nations and close individual understand how lucky we are include; showing them the things that we can do in America others can’t, tell them about other countries that experience hardships every day, and tell them about how we have overcome so many things. Helping others changes lives and the lookouts they have on things.

How I feel when Summer ends.

When my summer ends there are a few things in which I feel. These things are: looking forward to seeing friends at school, missing the free time of the summer vacation, and experiencing a new year. This brings special things onto your path of thought.

  First, looking forward to seeing friends is one of the only things I like to think about when my summer is coming to an end. Friends make life so much better as long as they are the good friends. They also make things easier most of the time by encouraging you and helping you through hard times.

  Next, missing the free time of summer vacation is one of the things I do not look forward to. Having too much free time though can lead to bad things. The ending of free time can also be a positive thing, because when you are busy it does not necessarily mean it is a bad thing.

  Last, experiencing a new year helps everyone out. I say this because every year you get closer to a goal you have set. Goals are very important to create because they set you up for things to come and you learn from things that have past.

  In summary, wanting to see friends at school, not having summer free time, and having new experiences for the new year, are a few things in which I think about when summer ends. Creating new things for yourself is always important.

Me as a Writer

I did not really like writing when I was younger, but now I like to write as long as it is a topic I like. For me personally, I feel that I am an okay writer. I would like to feel that I am an amazing writer. I am in between good and bad as of now. I prefer being in a quiet area so I can clear my mind and think straight. I probably like writing either early in the morning or later at night when I do not have a lot on my mind. If the topic is a good one I write more, but if not I do not write that much in one sitting. I reread a lot and change things often. It really doesn’t matter to me with what I use to write. My mom is a very good writer and I guess that is where me as a writer came to be. I write to myself when I am making up a story. I usually do not write to others very much unless it is a special occasion. I do not really know if I write better to a group, a teacher, myself, or to others. I would like to do great no matter who is going to read it. I really liked making up a story with my own medieval hero. One of my favorite topics to write about is fantasy. I do not like to write on topics that do not really comply with me. I am committed to writing because it is important to me. My strengths and weaknesses at writing are spelling, and grammar. Sometimes I have trouble with them too. My writing at this time mostly consists of texting (if that counts). My writing abilities change depending on what the topic is. Poor writers, I believe, do not have a very thoughtful and creative mind in which most of the time is essential for writing. I think that writing’s most important aspect is creativity. I would rather talk to someone on the phone and even more in person rather than to text them. This concludes me as a writer.
