Grade School Writing: World Peace

Posted on July 30th, 2007

Here’s a gem from my early elementary school days…

WORLD PEACE

“I think the problem of lack of World Peace is becoming a tremendous problem in our world. If we can’t have world peace, what can we have? Every day good people risk the lives of themselves. I hope and I pray for world peace, but if we can’t try, just forget about it.”

My mom says the “just forget about it” ending is evidence of our Brooklyn blood… But I think I was simply trying to add extra words to meet the 50-word requirement for the assignment. Luckily I’ve gotten much better at writing to word count without adding verbose filler. If you don’t agree, just forget about it.
