Respond to the Quote

"All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." - Sir Edmund Burke, 1769.

           In my opinion I think this quote is saying to us that if we just stand by and do nothing, bad things will keep happening and will make the world worse and that things will not get fixed. An example of this is everyday bullying. It is an issue because many people are bullied and the bystanders don't do anything to stop the bully. 

To Act or Not To Act

             An opportunity I was given was just this past summer and it was to volunteer my time as a counsellor at the humane society to help kids become aware how to handle and take care of animals. I decided to take this opportunity and I am glad I did. I helped these kids know that not all experiences with animals have to be bad and how to treat an animal properly. It gave me a sense of what it is like to take initiative and teach others about a subject. I enjoyed this experience and am glad that I got this opportunity and that there was such a positive feedback from the kids going to the camp.
