World Peace or Whirled Peas?

So I went through a few of my old things and came across an essay I wrote for my English class when I was about 15 years old I think. Oh my goodness, oh the hilarity. I know that you’re supposed to think that if you read things of yourself from years back (and I probably will laugh my butt off at my blog in five years) but HA. At least all of my words were spelled correct and my grammar wasn’t even as horrible as I would have thought. So here I have a darling little essay that I had to write within 45 minutes or so (I think) for English class. And I did it about world peace (or whirled peas, whatever floats your boat). Yes. Yes I wrote about world peace. I apparently was a pageant queen at 15 years old. Either that or I just watched a stupid movie about a) pageants, b) world peace or c) something with a super high moral message (think Crash, great movie but it makes your brain implode) because I was rocking the “I’m so grown” talk there.
Well here it is; my little piece of art. I added some lovely sarcastic comments (bolded so you can tell my sarcastic comments from my trying to save the world) because I couldn’t NOT mock myself(just a few though, small essay after all). Hello, mocking your former self is the sole reason that... well some people do some things, I don’t know, don’t ask me.

Ah world peace [*Snort*]. We hear it all the time on tv, big hopes and dreams for the future. Yet we also hear that it is impossible. Is it really? Some think that if we, as a world, work together, we can make world peace a reality [Oh man, I feel like Sandra Bullock during the question round.].
There are a lot of different reasons that people will go to war but there’s a solution for every single one of them. One of the most important one is communication. Lots of arguments start over a communication problem. What can solve this is better education, better equipment for the lesser fortunate countries. Another thing that is a big problem is food, lack of it often leads to riots.
If we educate people about growing their own food and help them by paying fair prices for products, they wouldn’t have to suffer. [Right Sherlock, nobody knew that yet.]
If we want a peaceful planet we have to work together to make that happen. We have to stop thinking solely about ourselves and start thinking and caring about others.
This isn’t just the government of the United Nations[This is a very random combination of organisations] that have to work to make this happen. The mentality of every single person on this planet has got to change. We need to stop arguing about petty things and start thinking about the bigger picture. It does pay off to be kind or to be ‘the bigger person’. One act of kindness can mean a lot, especially in a troublesome situation.
If we can’t all learn to play nice, there will always be some sort of trouble lurking around the corner. If it is trouble involving entire countries or a neighbourhood battle, it won’t help ‘the bigger picture’. If we can’t come to an agreement about this, we will forever see the pictures in the paper of people that have died in a war somewhere, military people, civilians and even children [What?]. We need to look at ourselves and ask if we really want that.

All the laughing aside, come on, how cute was I? Seriously now, this is adorable.
