My Wish

DEAR PIERCE,

I used to believe that everyone had it fair and square and people weren't so greedy and everyone had enough clean food and water. Imagine how horrible it is to have to walk a long way just to get clean food and water. Also people are so greedy that they don't share. So we should be thankful for what we have. That's why My wish for the world is that people are not so greedy and share water with other people.

Well I was at my nana’s apartment and we were talking about thankfulness. Then I said speaking of being thankful, I’m thirsty. Then my nana said speaking of being thirsty and talking being about thankful, I think we should be thankful for our water. Well, they should make a job to preserve water. Don’t you think?

Well I was in Ohio and we were talking about the Amish and I mentioned a question that was something like this, Are Amish poor?  And then my dad said yes they are very poor. Then I asked do they get water through their faucets? No my dad replied they have to go to the river. Why don't we take some of our water here and ship it out to them. Well, my dad replied America is greedy and they keep things for themselves.

These experiences showed me that everyone does not have it fair and square. I will always remember that people don’t always have the things that they need. The next time I hope that In 2016, people are not greedy and share water.
