If I could change the world I would get rid of irons, syrup, and fishing rods. I know this sound like a weird list, but I have my reasons.

First, I would get rid of irons because when I was little I got burned by an iron just because I was crying. At the time I was only four years old when I got burned and it was a third degree burn. The reason I would eliminate irons from out of the world is so parents won’t be able to abuse their children. For example, every time a child does something horrible parents have to find something to hit them with. So that’s why I want to eliminate irons out of this world because they remind me of him.

The next thing I would get rid of is syrup because when I was a little child at the age of ten months old my mother’s ex-boyfriend was really upset at my older brothers and sisters and  he used it to threaten us.  He was upset with my mother because she had to work over time and he didn’t want to be there with us because he didn’t like us. One day, he got really fed up with me and my winning because I hungry. He took the syrup that was at room temperature and poured on my head. I started to scream and my mom ran downstairs and called 911. In the end, he went to the jail and I ended up going to the hospital. Syrup should be eliminated out this world so parents can not burn their children with anything hot.                                 

The last thing I would eliminate is fishing rods because when I was seven years old my mother made me go to my grandma house so I wouldn’t be home alone. Once I got over there it was like I was a in a jail cell. Every time I did something wrong I got hit with a fishing rod for the smallest things I did. For example, I was beat for eating and entire box of strawberries. Every time  I went back home I would show all my brothers and sisters. They tried to tell my aunt, but she wouldn’t believe them. One day she seen it for her self and she felt really bad for me that her dad would always hit me with a fishing rod for the smallest things. Finally, the last thing I would do would destroy them by sending them into space so that they would never be seen again.                                                       

In conclusion, those would be the main things I would get rid of because they bring back so many bad memories from my childhood. Now that you have read this essay, I hope you have some different type of respect for me. I hope my essay touches your heart.
