hey guys!
today, i will be talking about what i hope to transform in the world.
i wish to transform to way that people generalize others. I want people to be able to enjoy their many passions, without having to choose one over the other. I would like to create opportunities for others to pursue their interests and dreams for the future. In more detail, I would form programs, groups, academies, activities, etc. for everyone's personal interests. That way, everyone is able to have the foundation that they deserve to prepare them to chase their dream for the future.
what do you wish to transform?

"The New Kid" by Murray Heyert
Dear young Marty,
Do you remember? Do you remember the way that you acted? Do you remember the way that you acted towards the new kid? I vividly remember all of the unfriendly things that you told him. I remember when you questioned his punch ball skills, when you hadn't even seen him play before. I remember the way that you made fun him in front of the entire neighborhood. This was after the ball had come soaring at him, and landed way behind him. This was after you had done the exact same thing only minutes before. Yet, you still called him out, in front of everyone. You truly embarrassed him. Then, the moment you realized he was scared of you, you took advantage of him. You saw the fear in his eyes, and you approached him. Finally, you violently punched and tortured the new kid.
As I have grown older, and learned new valuable lessons of the years, I am now able to understand your actions from that day: you were overwhelmed, excited, overjoyed. You finally got a game with the older kids in the neighborhood! However, the way that you acted towards the new kid was heartless. Even though that was the way that older kids treated you, it was not right for you treat someone else in the same cruel way. You know how horrible it felt; how many times you wanted to just sit on the curb and cry. Imagine how the new kid felt. Every time I recollect the situation, I completely regret the way that you acted.
In the future, I will make sure that my son, Josh, will never make the same mistake that you made. I will teach him that the golden rule, is the best mindset to live your life by. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Civil War RAFT - my roles during this war
hey guys! Today, I will be writing a friendly letter as if I as woman working in the Union at the time of the Civil War.
Dear my beloved William,
Today was eventful. But isn't everyday during this never-ending war?
I continue to do my usual house work. Y'all know, the boundless window washing and tedious job of sweeping the porch. That is when I am not collecting crucial information on the sites of the battlefields.
I just recently traveled to some of the smaller towns down yonder in Virginia. I was able to gather lots of information in Richmond.
How are y'all doing? I hope all is well. I do miss you.
Also, do make sure to say hello to Walter, his wife told me to ask you.
Write soon.
Sincerely,
Margaret
