I believe we all have the power to change the world

For me there are certain guide lines that I believe every person has to live by, in order to live out a normal day to day life. I believe one person has the power to change the world. I feel that if I haven’t made an impact on the people that surround me in a positive way throughout the day, my day was wasted
A personal example of a time I affected a part of the world was when I was I was in elementary school and one of the kids in my class was getting bullied. I knew the right thing to do was to go help him but I didn’t want to be targeted next. I decided to help him. As soon as I got within ten feet the bullies they tried to make sure I wouldn’t interfere. In an attempt to save him I said “don’t u guys have something better to do”. Then all their collected hate came at me. They tried to scare me off by making fun of me, but they realized it wasn’t worth it. They just laughed at me and walked away. I might not have affected the world but I affected a part of it.
I firmly believe each person is given the power to change the world. Weather they chose to use this power for the better or the worse is up to them. I try from day to day to change the world for the best or just better.
