If I could change anything in the world, it'd be the school bell, the lights switch and the t.v.
First of all, the school bell. In this school, Summit High School, there are people who I care about that I would be content never leaving, if the school bell (the day) rang later then we wouldn't have to go home. It could possibly make the other who feel the same way happy as well. Another reason is that we need knowledge, it can help us grow and change.
Secondly I'd change the lights switch. The world has so much hate and darkness. All we'd have to do is flip the switch on a couple people and we could change the way millions of people look at things and possibly how they think.
Third of all I'd change the t.v. I don't know how people can just sit and do nothing about the things that happen in the world. The violence on t.v and the poverty and famine, the disease and cruelty. Whether it be animals or humans, we should do something. Everywhere in the world it is happening and all some people do is sit and watch it on t.v. If we didn't have the t.v, would we be helping?
In this world there is enough strife and habitual actions that lead to violence and hate in general. I love how some people think that they are alive to bring happiness and love to horrible situations, it makes life a bit better for us and some of the chaos is lessened by these small things. Caring for a sick child, adopting from foreign countries, sharing food, kindness in speech and actions, and just being a friend to others.
Actions speak louder than words. The ring of the bell, the flash of the t.v and the flip of a Light switch are just a few of the things we can change. Take your time to help others and even if it's just a kind hello, do it for the change of the world and yourself.

I agree with the school bell one. I love Summit, it's the best school I've ever been to. I love how there is small classes here so you get more one on one time with teachers.
I agree on the point that it would be simple to just flip a switch and change everything everyone sees or thinks, but here's why I disagree in that being a wholesome idea:
Everyone needs to have their own opinions and ideas. Without the uniqueness of everyone, this planet would turn into intolerable quickly. People would become bored and would begin to loathe one another. But then the switch would cause instant "peace" causing them to swiftly insane by the quick mental change. So no, I don't believe that your opinion fits into my opinions. A good article though. Really enjoyed it.
Sara, I enjoyed reading your essay.
I LOVE the light switch one! I think that the tv one is absolutely correct but I also think there are benefits to it. We can be inspired by a movie or show, we can become updated in things going on in the world etc.
I also loved your conclusion :)
