think about others


In our world many people are suffering from the negative impact of environment, water resource and diseases. This information explains the importantly, there are People who are making a difference in today’s world for the lives of others by recognizing the negative impact of a problem and trying to solve it. Three people making a difference are named Felix Finkbenier, Ryan and Alex Alexandra. They have made huge changes creating a cancer supporting fund, planting trees for our future generation and making a well for people in Uganda.

Planting trees for saving lives of others is important to fight for. A 13 year old boy named Felix Finkbeiner made a huge change to people’s attitudes towards the environment. It all started when Felix was doing his school project and he found out about the environmental problems that we have in the world today. He decided that there needed to be serious changes, so he decided to do something about it. Firstly Felix had started with small school campaign to donate money for environmental changes and he started to influence his school friends and teachers to be part of his campaign. In order to make his campaign bigger, Felix approached a huge company, Toyota and asked them for a donation. A lot of companies were persuaded by his speeches and started to donate money for his campaign. After the time passed his campaign became truly remarkable because of his efforts. As a result he attended a UN international conference and made an important speech about environmental changes. A lot of people can’t make those huge changes because large amount of population are not noticing the negative impact on our environment. In one of his speeches he said “One mosquito can’t hurt a rhino but a thousand mosquitoes can attack a rhino”. This speech means that one person can’t make anything change but a lot of people can make huge changes. This influenced a lot of people to consider our environment.  His campaign planted 12.5 billion trees and their goal is to plant 14 billion trees. Felix did make the huge difference to our future generation. To make the huge different in our environment, he was determined to change our environment and put lot of effort to make the change. All of those huge amounts of effort was to help live of others.

Stand up for the people that have pour living environment to save the lives of other is important to fight for. Our world is surrounded by 70% of water but amount of water we can drink is just 1% and without water no creature can survive. One of village in Uganda is suffering because of water. People in this village were sick and some were even dying because they didn’t have clean water and Villagers needed to walk for hours just to get dirty water. To help this village one college student name Ryan determent to make a well in this village. So he started the campaign about donating money for making the well in this village. His foundation collected 2000 dollars and finally completes their goal. The main cause that Ryan can achieve his goal is because Ryan has a good heart that thinks about other lives first. If he was selfish boy obviously he can’t make those changes because his campaign will not exist.
Saving the lives of the people that fighting with diseases is worth fighting for. One female kid name Alex was diagnosed with childhood cancer. Cancer is the disease the cell in your body increase uncontrobly so the unnature cell attack other cell. When she was 4 years old she asked to her parent to build her own lemonade stand. Her lemonade stand was for foundation of finding cure of diseases while she bravely fighting for her own cancer. Her lemonade stand was truly remarkable. Her foundation rose until 2000 dollar a day! But In 2004 Alex died in age of eight but her foundation rise until 1 million dollar. This represent the important of saving lives of the people that fighting with diseases is worth fighting for because this 8years old kid Alex thinks about other people that have disease first during fighting with her own cancer because She know how painful is to have cancer. Alex’s soul was brighter then Cristal because she knows how to think about other people first.  

This three kids made huge changes on creating a cancer supporting fund, planting trees for our future generation and making a well for people in Uganda. The reason that they can make the campaign in success is because they are very determent to make a change.

  1. I wonder why you didn't put a Link to the people that were helping the people and making the change, the names are Felix Finkbenier, Ryan and Alex Alexandra. I found it very interesting that you are explaining about all the three people that you wrote about. For the people that don't know about cancer, maybe you should explain it a more and how it can effect you. I disagree with that they can make a campaign successful because they need other people to help them to do all the things.Your writing made me think about important that it is to save the environment but also the children and adults that have cancer. To support them that one day will be a better place for everyone.
