Quote Response

A wise man, named Mahatma Ghandi once said,

"Be the change you want to see in the world." 

What do you think this means?  What change do you want to see in our world?  What steps can you take to begin taking to be an example of that change?  Think about your daily words and actions and how they promote a better world to live in.

Complete this prompt in a 6-7 sentence response.  Remember to capitalize and punctuate each sentence.  Also remember to sign your name at the end so I know who submitted it.

I think it means that everyone can make a change in the world.I think what everyone can do is be green.Please use BOTH sides of the paper instead of one,save a tree.And don't litter either throw it away or recycle something.I think people should ride bikes places instead of driving.If people recycle,ride bikes,use BOTH sides of paper,and don't litter our world can be clean and worry free.

I think it means if you want to see or show change in the world you should just do it. For example: if you want to be treated a certan way you should treat others how you want to be treated. To save the Earth you should recycle, peper, glass, plastic, cardbord, and so forth.You should also car pool.To make everyones day better just give everyone a smile because you never know what someone is going threw.One more thing you can do is to go outside to play so you don't have to sit around and play electronics!

I think that this quote means be a good person, and do what you think is right. The way this world could be better is if you make the right changes you find necessary. Like if you think that the world could be a better place if everybody shared, you might consider trying this with you classmates or family. If they like this and are nicer to you, then the world would be a better place. Or if you think world peace is very important, then you could be the first to show that and make a difference. Follow the NUMBER ONE RULE: Treat others the way you want to be treated. Everyone has got something they're going through. Nobody lives the perfect life. You can make a difference.

I think it means if you want to see a change in the world do not just lay around wishing that it would change, instead do something about it because sometimes when you start other people catch on and do the same. A change I would like to see in the world is that people stop being bullies. I am actually been letting people know about this and so far I've made a little change but i believe that it will help and I will not stop until other stop. I would also like to see our world be more green. I've been starting this and hope it will catch on to more people. One more thing is that we should all just be a little nicer to each other because you never know if even a smile will make someones day.

I think the quote means be the best person you can be. The change I want to see is world peace. The first step I can take is stoping any fight I see. The next step i can take is making sure everyone feels good about them selfs. the last step I can take is protest to stop war and make friends with other countrys.

I tink he is saying that if you want somthing done do it your self. (Thats how it is with my brother). My brother thinks that soccer players should be better so when he growes up he would like to be a famouse soccer player. He's saying do what you think is right. If you want somthing done do it. Don't just lay around wishing it would happen,do it yourself,take some action. That's how I do it.Thank for reading this. Jacob

I think this mean be a better person. You should be the best that you could be. You should recycle paper,bottle and plastic. It doesn't matter if you dont like them just be nice we need to make a change. If we keep on use use use then there will be no Earth. So remember be nice and recycle paper,plastic and bottles. ODAI

What I think he means is that if you want to see a change in the world you have to work for it.Or if you change something in the world than people will look back and say,"He changed the world".What I'm trying to say is that if you want something done in your image,than you have to do it yourself.

amingI think the quote means that for example,if you want to have world peace,you have to make it your life-goal.You have got to work until you reach that goal.If you work to reach your goal,eventully you will.If you don't, you won't reach it.If you want to live in a clean environment, you have to pick up trash or recycle.You have to always be the change that you would like to see in the world.(Marla)

I think that the quote means that if you think you want to change you can. If you are treating someone bad yhey may or maynot treat you well. Maybe he said that beacus he was treated bad and notsed he was not treateing him well. he probaley cares for people and is telling people to chang if people are not treated well. he maby noticed to change if you are not treated well.
