Lets Make the Change

  Okay, so you go to the store with some friends and see a pair of $40 jeans. Once you've tried them on, you turn to your friends and say, "I MUST have these, I WANT them so badly! I NEED them!"  

  Whoa...wait, hold on a second. Did anyone catch the key words there? Of course you did, because their in caps. If you want something, you usually use one of those three key words in your sentence: Want, Need, Must. When really, do you REALLY need it? Do you really WANT it? MUST you have it? It's just common now a days that you see something you like, and you want it. However, what about the other jeans you just bought a few weeks back? You start to grow apart, and you get separated. Think of all that money you spent on clothes...when really, did you  need them? 

  Take this time to think, that $40 you just spent could have went to a family in need in another country, or even in our own community. Now, I'm not saying to not spend money, I'm just trying to say this; think. Think about what YOU have, and what THEY have. Maybe take those old pair of jeans and give them to the Red Cross, or donate some extra cash to World Vision. Every little bit counts. It really does. WE are the generation that will make a difference...we're also the generation that could destroy the world in the long run. By making a difference, it could mean both good or bad, so what do you want to pick? Do you want to help out the world? Provide families supplies, save a rainforest? Or litter, and not care about it all?  

  This is OUR time to act. OUR time to make the change that needs to be done. Humans have been on this planet a half as long as Dinosaurs were...and we're ruining the planet more then the dinosaurs did. What does that say about us? 

  We live in a world that has two different types of people: One type that cares, one type that doesn't care. What side are you on? 

  So next time you have extra clothes, or extra cash, all I'm saying is to consider donating it. You could change a life. 

  We're the generation that has the potential to change things...we've already changed it for the worst, now let's fix it and change it for the better.
