Ultimately though, what I learned in school, is to simply make an effort. Give and make effort in making friends, make an effort to do what is right, make an effort to help someone or something that needs assistance. Smile at another person and make their day. Make an effort to learn, to read, to think and analyze. Make an effort and show up every day. Make an effort by being respectful and kind. Make an effort to be better everyday because you never know who is watching and learning from you. To make the world a better place one simply has to make an effort. By making an effort I could affect endless amounts of people in an endless amount of ways.
