WaItInG On tHe wOrLd tO ChAnGe
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to make a change. I always thought about accomplishing something big; accomplishing something that would change humanity. This change would probably be headed toward peace. I feel that there is too much grief in this world. I feel that it should change. I want for it to change. I think about this, and how I would like to be out there doing….something! While I am sitting here writing on my computer, there are people dying because of hunger, thirst and violence.I would love to know that all this became history. I would love to feel that I have made an impact. To let the world know that I care, and that I can make a change! But what can I do? I realize that I might not be the only one that feels this. But if I’m not, how come we haven’t changed anything? I know why, because we are all waiting on the world to change. I keep telling myself that it will happen. The world will change. But when?! Maybe I am making a change by stoping and thinking. If everyone stoped to think, wouldn’t that make a difference? But for me thinking is not enough. I really want to do something. I believe that the reason why there are no changes is because we are all waiting. We do not know a way to change thigns so we just wait until someone changes them for us. It would be a relief to know that there has been a chance, but if we all think the same way there is not going to be any change. I feel that we all have to get out there and act. If we do not know how to make a change by ourselves… well, together we could make a difference. A greater difference. “Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.” (John Lennon) Lets not wait on the world to change. Lets change the world ourselves!!!
What are you waiting for??

Natha, I loved the video and the post was great. I completely think that you are capable of making a change. Your potential in life will not only make a change but will motivate others to do it! Go for it Natha!
Natha! I really like how you found a video that fits your post. I also believe that all of us need to take action if we want a better future. And as you said we can’t just think or dream about it, we should make something. I don’t believe that one person could change the whole world, but it can certainly make a change by influencing others to make things to help our world. Great work! Keep it up.
