Our community today is filled with fatherless children, drugs and epidemics that makes the world we live in today an unhappy place to live. But there is help for every problem that one faces. Today many people serve their community by doing projects to aid it. Whether it is repainting an old house or helping a mom by watching her child while she goes to work, these individuals assist the community everyday. But these people can’t do it alone. It takes everyone. People need to get out and serve because the world needs you. It has nothing to do with getting anything in return; it has to do with knowing that you gave your part while you were on this earth. Receiving a smile from helping someone may be better than a couple dollars. Our communities are in need of help and you have an opportunity to do it. Maybe slavery wouldn’t have lasted so long if we had someone to step up and say that this was wrong.

A BETTER WORLD

Today’s world is filled with terrorism, crime, drug abuse and sadness. One epidemic that the world is filled with is racism. Racism divides us rather than bringing us together. When will the world go back to a time where everyone gets along and everything is right? Almost everyone is the world feels alone and sad. We need to all come together and see what the real problems are in the world. Families need to go back to taking care of each other and spending more time together. We need to help those in need rather than turning them away telling them that their life is up to them. No one has ever gone through life with no help, so why do we refuse to give help to others. We need to go back to clothing the poor and feeding the hungry. But why don’t we now? Everything is about money and how we can make a buck. When you die are you going to the money with you? When you leave this world the only thing you leave behind you is your self-respect and how you helped others. Slavery was because people were selfish and wanted to make a quick dollar rather than caring about others feelings. Because of yesterday’s decisions, we continue to go down the spiral to nowhere. You may ask yourself, I’m just one person how can I help? It is very simple! Go to your local shelter and see if they need any assistance. Tutor a child who doesn’t get his or her math homework. Walk and elderly person across the street or reach real high on a shelf to get an item they may need. There are countless things you can do to help the world. It doesn’t even have to be with people. Plant a tree; pick up a piece of trash. You can sit here all day and name things but naming things isn’t getting the job done. We must act. The more we continue to sit and do nothing is how much were going to get out of life. Nothing. So ask yourself, have you helped your world today?
