Recommended: Essays on how volunteering can help others in need

As we all know, in today’s society half of the population is complaining about everything. Presidency, racism, taxes – honestly anything that you could possibly complain about, the world is complaining about.

Instead of complaining about things, we should learn to take action in whatever capacity we are good at. For instance, much like myself, many people share a love for children. The best feeling you could get is knowing that you have impacted someone’s life for the better, especially a child who still has a lot of growing up to do.

So why not choose to make a difference and give them something good to look up to. …show more content…

So the weekend is a perfect time to set it up for

    The most successful way to instill righteous and moral behavior and thoughts is by demonstrating our respectable interactions and honest problem solving approaches during difficult times of our lives. “As adults we should dare to be adults that we want our children to be”.

The author writes that “we should strive to raise children who: engage with the world from a place of worthiness, embrace their vulnerabilities and imperfections, feel a deep sense of love and compassion for themselves and others, value hard work, perseverance, and respect, and also move through our rapidly changing world with courage and a resilient spirit” (214, 218-219).
