Yolanda’s Read 180 Homework

If I could change the world I would get rid of is guns, feelings, and homework. My list might look kind of weird , but this is only my own personal opinion. If I could change the world these are the reason why.

First of all, gun’s would be the first thing I would get rid of because if it wasn’t for guns my cousin Philip would still be alive and be able to be in his child’s life. As my cousin grew up he and most of all my family member’s were in a gang (males) only, but as he grew up he got his self  out of the gang. He gave up his gang banging life because he knew it wasn’t for him. He had a baby girl on the way so he didn’t want all this mess to affect  his family or his new born child’s life. He came to Illinois on the fourth of July to see his baby mama and his new born child.  He wasn’t staying here, he was going back to Iowa to his aunt's house, where he ended up in a shooting. Even though they say the bullets were for his friend in the driving seat they both got killed with guns. Now a beautiful little child is going to grow up without knowing her father. This is my main reason why I would get rid of guns.  

 After that, I would get rid of feelings because everybody with feelings get depressed over a lot of things. Without feelings most people won’t be in the type of situation they are in now. People  get depressed over feelings most of time end up in a hospital from having a lot of stress or being depressed. My opinion is feeling should only come if something terribly bad happens or if they fall in love with somebody. Having stress or depression is not good and it will cause serious pain to you.     

The last thing I would eliminate is homework. My reason I would get rid of  homework is that us students already spend eight hours in school. By putting extra homework on students after school is tiring. After school kids and teens would like to spend their time and mind off of school and homework. We understand homework is good for our help in school  but its just too much to handle. Most principles, teachers, and other school staff wonder why a large percentage of students dropout. Homework is most defiantly a reason I would get rid of it for  students' sake.

In conclusion, these are the reasons why I would get rid of these three things on my list. My list might sound weird to many different people but everybody like me as an example has there own opinions. So if I could change the world these are my main three major things I would get rid of.
