Money is the most powerful in the world. Eventhough money can't buy everything, but if you don't have money, you can not buy anything. everything needs money. some people died or break up with the family all because of the money.Today after school, when i walked down the street, i saw an old man was asking people for money. He looks really pityful. He is wearing shabby clothes, looks didn't have energy to walk. When he walked to the people for asking a quater, those people didn't even look at him, just walked pass by him. i wounder how come those people don't feel anything about this kind of poor man. Save a dollar for some people is really easy, and this dollar looks nothing for them, but it might can save the old man's life. i think it is not fair. Why some people are so rich and some people are still destitiute who is hard worker. The people who is wealth should help some poor people.

The school has already started a few days, and we all started to have lessons in the classes. Today at third period, i was helping my guidance counsleor to called some one from the class. When i arrived that class, it looks like a club or something. The students were talking, eating, playuing with other students. It was so noisy. The teacher just standing in front of the class trying to quiet down the class. Unfortunately, he failed. Nobody was listening to him. i couldn't understand these students, why they stay in the class if they don't listen to the teacher. i think it is really unfair for some of the students who wants to study. They still want to learn more from the teacher. But bacause of other students, make fun in the class, make teacher can't teach. So they just waste the time in the school. i think those students who wants study should change the class. They have to do something unless the whole class are listening. Otherwise they won't learn anything in the whole semester.

Power is possessed by or given to a person or group, authority. Some people have more power than others. the people who ever has power, they are going to do what ever they want, even that is a evil thing. I have a friend whose dad is a mannager in a company. He is kind of mean, everytime he gave his employees hard works and give them his order, tell them to do this and that. He thinks that he is the head of everybody, they must listen to him. Once, there was one of the employee who refused him what he wanted him to do, he got really mad. Later on, my friend's father always told this man that he did this wrong or he did that incorect. I don't understand how can he still works for him by that kind of attitude. This man abuse his power, he treats himself as a most poerful person. He thinks nobody can reject what he said, how a silly thought is it?

Many people are tall in U.S. Also there's a lot of people who is short too. The peple who ever is tall are have more edvantages than the short people. For example, the onwers of the shops like to hire the person who is taller, because they think tall people can do more hard work than the short one. My friend whose name is magie, she went to looking for a job which is a saleswoman in a gift shop. She is 19 years old, aobut 5 feet, she looks she is a only 15 years old. When she got that shop, the onwer didn't even ask her to do anything, but told her to go back,he won't hire her. The reason was she is to short. Especially standing in a big store, she looks like a little girl. I think the owner is really mean. Why peoples' exterior is so important. My friend is a hard workerm she has been a saleswoman for a long time, she just jumped out of that store that she used to work, and she wants a new working condition. But the people always say that she is to short. I wounder if they hire a person who is really tall, but she doesn't do anything, are they still keep that person to wrok for them?
