- What else can you use RSS feeds for?

Desire to Make the World a Better Place
There are many things that inspire me to make the world a better place. The main things that contribute to my ways of wanting to make things better, is the many commercials that show how some people aren't as privelaged as we are. These commercials show people with no homes, or people whose homes were destroyed, and people with illnesses. Once I see these, I realized that with a little help, we could make the world a better place. I have not directly done anything yet to help this issue, but when I am older and have a stable job of my own, then I definitely will. Another thing that makes me realize that I want to help change the world, is the fact that there are things to change. The world isn't perfect, but if we all work together on this issue, we can make it as great, and wonderful, and safe as possible.
