Fourth Grade Wisdom
Posted by admin under: community service .
With the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday just around the corner, there are many school assignments about this great American. One fourth grader wrote something that is truly inspiring.

I don’t help as many people as Martin Luther King Jr. did (I probably won’t even get close), but I still help people. I’ve helped other people by putting stickers about not polluting over storm drains all throughout my neighborhood. I also put flyers about not polluting in mailboxes all throughout my neighborhood. I do can-do drives which are when you go around a neighborhood and ring peoples doorbells and ask if they want to donate canned goods for people who need food. I also do a thing called Toys for Tots which is when you buy and donate a toy for a kid who can’t afford it and would love a toy. I’ve picked up a lot of garbage. I’ve pulled weeds at my school. Many of the above are things that I do through Boy Scouts and I really enjoy doing them. However, the best way to inspire others is to be kind and respectful to everyone. If we all would be welcoming to other people, families, cities, states, and countries, then the world will be a better place. If we all work together and live peacefully, I bet that Martin Luther King Jr. would be happy and proud.
