The meaning of Peace to me!!

By Lupita

Peace in my mind is when you have tranquility and unity with the people around you. The people around you might not always be people you know but that's okay. Different people have different views and thought of what peace means and not all people agree with each other.
Peace is when there is a group of people and each one of them is in some way different but the differences don't matter to them and they can get along. Peace is something that everyone should work on. You know that things are peaceful when you don't hear name calling and rudeness between kids and adults. There are many names people of different races and ethnicities call each other. Like beaner, cracker, wetback, rednecks, hillbillies, Negros, Afro-American and then the N word. The world would be a lot more peaceful and a lot less violent without these words.

 

Of course like at all school things around campus are not always peaceful. It isn't really one person's fault it has to do with everyone and who they hang out with. Maybe if one person stops hanging out with their normal friends and hangs out with different people, then maybe their old friends would be offended. Something that might make our school more peaceful would be maybe on certain days have the kids sit at different tables than they are used to. Another idea would be mixing up the classes like P.E. Usually people that are in the same class tend to hang out together at break and lunch. However that is not the case with my friends and me. In my opinion that is a good thing because it means we don't care about differences we have. For example there are three seventh graders in our group of friends and six eighth graders. Things like this might make our school more peaceful and more united.

 

At my house things are usually peaceful but not always. Sometimes we might fight with one another but then we get over it pretty quick. Maybe if we actually started doing things as a family things might be more peaceful. For example if we maybe ate dinner at the table together we might make us be able to talk to one another better. There are a lot of things that our family can do to be more unfied.
