ENGLISH 6 level Thinking Out Loud I wish people could find out for themselves what’s the real meaning of their lives and live it the way they want to live it. Do whatever they want to do. Love whoever they want to love and be happy. Without label. Without fears. Without being told what to believe and what not to believe. Form their own opinion about everything they see, they hear, or read, not because a book says it is true or not true. It might be true. It might not be. I wish families could always be together and never get separated for meaningless reasons like being illegal in another country. I believe that when you are born you become an earth resident. It doesn’t matter on which part of the planet you were born. I think you have the right to explore around the globe, to look for a better place to live, to protect your family and feed them. I think no one has the right to deny you that right. I wish children weren’t starving in Africa or any other country. I wish every kid in the world is able to go to school. I wish people could realize how powerful we are when we work together for a better future. I desire peace for our world. No war is worthy or necessary to survive when we can help each other and live as one. As one species. The whole universe works in our favor when we do things for others with love. It’s time to wake up people. It’s time to understand that we are not in the universe. The universe is within us all. I wish every one who could read these words could get the message. Of course I wish I could see my mother again and hug her and never get separated. A collection of student art and writing BY JC DIAZ 39
