The Power of One


How do you make your home a better place? How do you make your family a better family? What contribution do you make to make WFMS a better school? How do you you make the community a better place? What could you do to make a greater contribution to the world. Are you a taker or a giver?

I make my home a better place by cleaning up so that my family has more time to spend together. I make my family a better family by trying to organize game nights. I contribute to WMFS by being in science honorary and student council so that we can help clean up around the school. I honestly don't do much for the community but I could try to work at the soup opera to help feed the needy and cloth them. Helping the world starts at home, donating to a needy cause is something that I could do for the world. It's the small things that count. I would consider myself both a taker and a giver. To be honest I think I probably take more than I give and that needs to change.

I try to make my home a better place all of the time. I do this by helping my mom when she needs me and cleaning the house. I try to make my family a better family by having my family watch a movie together or play a game together. I try to make WFMS a better place by helping people out and trying to cheer people up if they are upset. I could just be kind to everyone in the world to make it a better place. Sometimes I am a taker, but I try to be a giver.

I make my home a better place by, helping clean up the house, so we can have more family time. I make my family a better family, by helping everyone out as much as I can, and also by telling everyone to be nice to each other, and more respectful. I make WFMS a better school by, going to all of the after school activities, and also making the honor roll. I honestly don't do much for the community, but I would really like to start helping, though. To make a better contribution to the world, I would try to start, some type of group, or club, and go around helping local businesses, and other organizations. Honestly, I’m a taker, but I would like to be a giver.

I make my home a better place in so many ways, for example I clean and help my mom and dad do things around the house. I talk to my mom and dad about things and we do alot of things together like sled ride and watch tv and play wii. I dont do much for school, or the the communtity. But you could help old ladys cross the street, or help out at a soup kitchen.

I always try to keep the house clean so my parents are happy. I always try to keep my parents happy, so when they come home, we can all have a good conversation. I am in student council, so I suggest ways to earn money so we can have dances, or just fun things. I always am friendly to everyone, which puts people in a good mood. I can always donate cloths to good will to help little kids, or even adults. I am about the same of a taker, or giver. But I might take more than I give, but my hearts still in the right place!

I help make my home a better place by; shoveling snow, and occasionally rinsing my dishes. I make my family a better family, by keeping my dad happy, he loves it when I clean up the dishes, instead of him. The contribution I make to WFMS is, I’ve cleaned up garbage around the school, and I’ve also weeded all the flower beds, with student council. I make the community a better place, by helping my school and not littering. I could make an amazing contribution to helping this earth by not littering, reusing, recycling, giving money to foundations, and clean our beaches.

I can make my house a better place by cleaning up around the place. My family can't be any better than it is now. To make WFMS a better place is to get rid of all the trouble makers in the school and clean up the school every month. To make the community a better place you can clean around the highways and get rid of landfills. Recycling would be a good contribution to the world.I'm sort of both a taker and giver, but I need to be a giver.

Maybe I am wrong but I am not real sure.

I make my home a better place by cleaning my room and sometimes the bathroom. I make my family a better family by convincing everybody that it’s okay to go out and eat sometimes, or to go watch a movie. I don't do much for my school unless you count having good grades and turning my work in on time. I don't do much for my community either, but I could do something by donating food to the soup opera, or recycling. To make the world a better place, I could recycle, or plant a garden in the backyard. I'm more of a taker because I take a lot, and sometimes give very little in return.

I really don't do a lot for the community, but I could try to do more things in the future. I think that helping the world starts with halping at home. You could do this by giving things to the needy, and going to the soup opera to help prepare the food or the people who are less fortunate. I think I would consider myself both a taker and a giver. But really, I think that I take to much and don't give enough back.

To make your home a better place you have to keep it clean. If you want to make your family better you have to be nice to each other and not yell all the time. You could donate money to contribute to WFMS. To make the community a better place you must do things such as recycling. Also to make the world better you can still recycle. You could try to make peace with everyone, too. I’m both.

I wouldn't litter or do anything that could harm the earth. I think i am a giver. I always try to help people if they need it and i ask for nothin in return.

I make my home a better place by doing my chores so my parents dont get mad at me. i make my family a better family by planning a movie night or something like that. I normally dont make the community a better place but once at school i helped plant the trees out side and flowers in Mrs. Angelos class. I normally am a taker but i would like to be more of a giver.

By helping my grandma, dad, and mom around there houses. By spending all the time I can posably spend with them. Be as respectful as I can to all teachers and staff. I could plant more trees and take more responsiblity for my actions that could affect the earth in a negative way. And I think that I am alittle of both and try to be more of a giver than a taker.
