Stop Bullying

What is it you hope to transform in the world? Why?

What I want to change is the world is stop bullying. I want to teach people to not be bystanders but to be up standers. When you see bullying going on, do something about it. Bullying normally happens when people feel bad about themselves, so they want to make someone else hurt to make themselves feel better. That is where I would start. Helping those who don't have much self confidence, believe in themselves. I feel that this would greatly improve the bullying situation. 

There are different levels of bullying. Wether it be making fun of something someone is wearing or seriously threatening someones life, every case of bullying matters to me and we will fix it.

Courage

Who is the most courageous person/people I know? Why? 

I think the most courageous people I know would be my mom's dad and his family. My grandpa had seven brothers and one sister, which must have made migrating extremely hard. The reason I think that they are a really courageous family is because when they left Holland to come to the United States, they were leaving behind their flower business. Even though they were planning on starting a new one here in the states it would have to have been very complicated and stressful not knowing what was lying ahead.

I'm A Civil War Woman

Hey Readers! Today I am going to be writing in the perspective of a Union woman who is writing to her husband. :) 

Dear Alexander,

I hope you and the rest of the Union Soldiers are doing well. I just wanted to send you some mail to 

remind you of home. I cannot wait until your return in a few months. Although I miss you dearly, it

has been fun having all by myself. Since you and all the men have been away fighting against slavery,

 all the women have been taking on the jobs that the men used to do and much more. The women 

have finally been allowed to work in factories, as nurses and teachers, and as government workers! I am sorry, but I have to go take care of the children and the farm now. Below, I added a photograph for you to look at.

Take care.

Love,

Elizabeth
