I remember when people use to say things like: Thank you, your welcome, excuse me, and may I help you. These days, I hear much of nothing from people in this order. Rudeness seems to be everywhere we look. Someone cuts someone else off on the highway, and that is responded by a rude hand gesture. People stand in line for fifteen minutes at the concession stand at the movies, and when a new cash register opens up, people who just got in line rush to beat the people who have been waiting a long time

He knows nothing about this family but he judges them based on their looks alone, maybe because they aren’t white, because he prides himself on living in a “white” country.

speak (Thanks Gandalf) . The idea of that guy you just can't let go of because he will save you and make all your dreams come true. If you just try a little harder, stick it out a little longer, you'll have perfection. I'm sorry to tell you, nothing is perfect and you are obsessing over something that is not real.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I am a freshman in highschool, and I have recently become more educated in the horrors of modern slavery. People around the world are exploited for free labor and are unable to escape and pursue happiness.

People around the globe need to be more educated in the issue and need to know what they
