It's my grade 6's sister essay. They had to write about looking at the world as a: "Glass Half Full"If you take a look at the world right now, you might see millions of bad things that are happening throughout it. But the truth is, there are billions of good things happening in the world right now, too. Here's a look at the things worth looking at. The things that make our glass half full.The world is a good place , because , although bad things are indeed happening, there is hope for better. The work, determination, and excitement that's going into fixing these problems, such as the environment, violence, and poverty, is what makes the glass half full. For example: organizations and projects such as:Project (RED), which raises money for improving AIDS/HIV in Africa, and Montreal's own, The Human Promise†which raises awareness of the Darfur Genocide, are excellent examples of the things that will help our world prosper.In terms of looking at the glass half full for our world's environment, not too long ago, the average family would hardly ever recycle, let alone change something like an oil powered heating system to an electric one. Now, the average family definitely recycles, possibly even uses an hybrid car! One thing I did for the environment was to use $54.00 of my allowance to plant trees in Israel.In terms of my life, my friends, and my family, my glass is definitely half full! I am an extremely big worry wart sometimes, which makes me feel like my glass is half empty at times, but when I get through it, I feel like I'm a stronger person afterwards. Another thing that makes my glass half full is that, in every single mistake I make, there is a lesson, a moral, to take from it. Plus, whenever something is wrong, I have my family, my friends, my world to depend on.
