Topic- If I Can Change the World

          If I can change the world I’d give rid of guns, liquor, and cars. I know you might think I’m goofy but I have my reasons.

         First, I’d get rid of guns. The reason why is because my uncle had got shot 5 times in a Chevy and they left him there to die. So now, his gone but the guns are still here in my presents. He died five days before my birthday and five days after my little brother birthday. I hate when I here about guns because it just remind me on how my uncle died and I didn’t have the chance to stay good bye.

        I’d also get rid of liquor for one reason. Only if I could give rid of liquor because my family wouldn’t be going through the drama now. One day my uncle got drunk with his friends. So, they decided to go to the strip club, while they’re there my uncle got into it with some people. He ended up going back to the car to go get his gun, and ended up shooting up the club. Now he has to serve two years starting May 5^th.

       Finally, I’d get rid of cars. Now its two reasons why I would get rid of cars. One reason is because my mother recently got into a car accident and almost died. Man, if I would’ve lost her I would have gone crazy. My other reason is for getting rid of cars is because too many teens die by getting hit by cars. Or maybe they hopped in a car with a bunch of teens and they end up getting in a car crash. 50% of teens in the whole world die from either cars or guns.

       Now, if cars, liquor and guns was gone, my life would be better than ever.
