Building peace

           The film “Building Peace” is about Greg Mortenson and the institute that he built in northern Pakistan and Afghanistan. This institute creates an opportunity for girls and boys to eliminate ignorance. I think that what he did is very important for these communities because he is helping them get educated but he is not changing their ways. What the film made me think is that we give for granted every opportunity and education that this country gives us. We don’t really know what is like to be always in war. He is changing the lives of a lot of people for the best. I think we can all change the life of someone; we just need the chance to do it.

Peace

      When I think of peace I think of an activity that will help me to feel comfortable about myself, my family, and my life. That activity can be anything, from eating chocolate to listen to the rain. What I like to do the most to get my mind clear is to cook or bake.  I think that everyone should take the time to really enjoy what they like the most.  Peace is something that we are all looking for, we look for peace in different places but we all want that feeling of comfort and happiness. Peace can also mean the end of war and violence between countries.  I think everyone should look and find for what gives them peace and embrace it. We should have a place where we can rest of all the problems we had during the day.
