World Health....impossible?
I believe and will fight for health through out the world. Many things can affect the world's health. Not having food to eat, diseases, and junk food One of the most important things you can do to stay healthy, is exercise. You can over come so many diseases, by avoiding junk food, and exercising. Many schools in the world serve unhealthy food, for students to eat, and as a reprecussion of this, get over weight and unhealthy. Jamie Oliver is one of the people that noticed this, and has started a programme called, 'School Dinners'. There is another programme that help over weight people get fit, and healthy again, by training them to eat healthy, and exercise on a daily bases, The Biggest Loser. My and my grandparents are two of my biggest inspirations, at their old age they still exercise daily, and run/walk in races. Health is important to these people, but not important to many other people in the world.
In England many of the schools serve junk food for their students. Jamie Oliver has a problem with this, and started the programme 'School Dinners'. He went to many schools in England and tried to change the canteen food, because it was highly effecting the health of their students. Since he is a chef himself, he worked with the school's canteen staff to create a new menu, that is healthy, yet easy to make. He has done this successfully, and has fought for what he believed in, health.
The Biggest Loser is a TV show that started in the United States, but because of it's great outcomes, and the change it brought in obese people's lives, it was spread to 25 other countries. Even though the winner of the show gets a cash prize, the contestants enter the programme to loose weight, and in doing this, save their own lives. It has encouraged countless people to begin exercising and getting healthier. Dave Broome, the created of Biggest Loser, started this programme because he believed in fighting for health.
My grandpa, at 84 is one of the healthiest people I know. He goes to the gym regularly, and still competes in walking races. 2 years ago he won the South African Masters Championship, being one of the oldest contestants in the race. My grandma, at 74 also came 2nd in the State Championship, and represented her state at the South African Championship and came in 4th. She runs at least 3 times a week. They believe in leading a healthy life. I am proud of them because they fight for what they believe in everyday, their health.
You can over come so many diseases by exercising, and eating healthy. Some schools in England were not serving their students healthy food, and Jamie Oliver stood up for what he believed in and changed the canteen menus. Dave Broome also fought for what he believed in, by starting The Biggest Loser, to help over weight people loose weight by exercising and eating healthy. My grandparents also thought that this was important, and they have fought for what they believed in which was living a healthy lifestyle. Health should be important to you because it can prevent and take away so many diseases. By eating healthy food, and exercising these people stood up for what they believed in, health.

Animal cruelty.
"Animals can't speak, so we have to be the voice for them!" - Bernice vdV. I believe in fighting against animal abuse. So many animals die every day because they are being abused. There are a few TV shows about this topic, because the people that do know about this problem, want to take action. There are also a few organizations, such as the SPCA, that helps with this problem. We can't just sit back and pretend it's not happening. We need to help those that can't help themselves.
People ignore the fact that animals are being abused, and killed for pleasure every day. At least 500 animals die each day because of animal abuse. Which means, because of animal abuse 20 animals die every hour. Abusing an animal is the same as abusing a person, and abuse leads to death. Innocent animals are being tortured to death.1
People have realized this, and got the media involved in it. Because the media plays such a big part in so many people's lives, it is a great way to get the message across. There is this one TV show on Animal Planet that is all about catching/arresting the criminals, and saving the victims (the animals). It is against the law to abuse animals, and many people have gone to jail for doing so. It is a crime and deserves it's punishments. At least people realize that we have to do something about this issue.
Every body knows about about the SPCA, because it is such a successful organization. The Selangor SPCA does really well accepting animals, and caring for them. They receive 600- 700 animals a month, care for, and try to find homes for them. This is a very hard task, and all help is needed. Only 25% of these animals get homes. This isn't the only program, helping and protecting animals, there are a few. But the SPCA is one of the most successful.
We have to fight for what we care for. And we have to take a stand for what we believe in. And I believe animal cruelty is wrong, and I want to fight for the animals being abused. You can also help by donating your time and some money, to the SPCA. To the animals that need help, that need love, because they have been abused. They are trying to stop to torture by getting the media involved. The other organizations, like SPCA, are helping with this problem. But they can't do it alone. We all have to help. We have to fight for those that can't fight for themselves.

Our Hidden Voice
These days wisdom
is disguised by uncertainty,
you know?
Opinions and speaking with strong
conviction and authority,
as opposed to the invisible determination
in our society.
To aggressively question and implore,
to challenge our tragic generation.
Personally chop down interrogative...ness,
to stop declaring
our so called whatevers.

Modern technology, owes ecology, an apology. ~Alan M. Eddison
Our planet is such a blessing to us. It is so wonderful, and so big, and yet every minute we destroy more and more of it's beauty. And for what? To construct new buildings, new towns, new roads. But what we don't realize, or do realize but don't care about is the fact that we are killing lives by doing this. The lives of animals. We are messing up the food chain, and in in the long run, we are messing up what used to be a natural paradise. But if we fight against this, I strongly believe that things will change for the better. "If we stand together, we can achieve!"

Without hope....why live?
Hope is such an important part of our lives. Without even knowing, hope sometimes gives us a boost of confidence, and it reminds us to keep going. "It always seems impossible until it's done." -Nelson Mandela. This quote has so much to do with what hope can help us achieve. We can achieve greatness -that no one else would have thought could be achieved- through hope. Some times I get so upset, because I don't think I can do something, or I think I'm not good enough, but all I really need is hope. Because if we have hope, we can believe in our selfs, and if we believe in our selfs, we can do great things. I think Nelson Mandela, said so much with just a few words, that can lead to change. He had hope, through every demanding year in that prison cell. Look what change he has brought to the world today. He will be remembered for years to come. Nelson Mandela didn't just have hope, but encouraged other to also have hope.
