Topic- If I Could Change the World

            If I could change the world get rid of tobacco, any type of drugs and alcohol, and violence. I have my reason for all of them.

            First, reason why I would get rid of tobacco because they cause cancer and a lot of people get addicted to cigarette, black and mid, and cigars. I believe if we didn’t tobacco people wouldn’t have cancer or die. Because my cousin have lung cancer from smoking cigarettes. She was only 25 she died 2 yrs ago. After that day I hated cigarettes anything that cause cancer. My mama smoke black and mid I wish she could stop, but I guess they clam here nerves down. My Grandma always told me that any types of drugs or tobacco even alcohol do not clam down your nerves you is the only person that can do it. That’s my reason to get rid of tobacco.

            I would get rid of drugs and alcohol because my Grandma was on drugs during my mother childhood. So, that mean my mother had to go though some things in a childhood. It’s a lot of parents on drugs and it affect they health and their children’s health. When a girl is pregnant and they do drugs or alcohol that will affect their child if they didn’t know. Their baby can come out stillborn, with a disorder, or some may come out addicted to the drug or alcohol. My father had a bad drinking problem like this book I’m reading. When my parents was together my dad use to get so drunk and use to hit my mother or he will act crazy the next morning act like he didn’t do anything. I remember one day we all was sitting in the family room and my older sister with in my parent’s room and saw my daddy sitting on the bed not acting himself and he got to walking around almost falling hitting stuff. So my mama took him to the hospital and found out he almost died and he only got one kidney. I don’t like seeing my dad drink it scares me and I worry what will happen to him. Thoughts going though my head “Will he die?” “How would I act if I lose my dad?” When I watch the movie The Last Song I cry because her dad knew he was going to die and he wanted to spend the all summer with her and her litter brother. That’s my reason to get rid of drugs and alcohol.

            I would get rid of violence because a lot of people is dieing over stupid things like gangs, he say she say, or no reason. I mean back where I stayed I was scared because people I was close to was dieing I was wondering was I next or who is? I want to die on my own let me get old and die, or get in a car crash I don’t want nobody killing me. Two of my cousin killed their selves it was so hard. Like I done had thoughts, but I would never do it. I don’t get the other standing of gangs. Gangs suppose to bring you closer not go out and kill people. He say she say stuff go ask the person first instead of blowing their head of f. I just don’t understand it and I guess I want never understand. I wonder do it make the other person feel better to take somebody else life. If so they need to take their own life. I bet they don’t think about it before they do it. Like you is taking somebody child away their baby boy/girl. Wake up every morning missing when your child used to make all that noise and wake you up for stupid stuff. Like Lil Boosie said, “This a Very Cold World We Leave In”. He was right. That’s my reason to get rid of violence.
