ROSA PARKS
I was on my way to pick up my dog and I saw a picture about Rosa Parks. On the picture was a question. it said, What's In The Beef? On the
bottom it said, Boycott and there was also a
picture of a bus and behind it said, Civil Rights.
I also saw a picture of a robot and on the bottom
and top was blue stars. One black circle on the
side says movement. There's also a lot of red and white and one person in the painting.

THINK AND THEN ACT
We can choose who we play with; we can choose what we eat; we can choose what we wear. But
most importantly, we need to choose what kind
of people we want to be. Do we want to listen to
different ideas? Do we want to accept all kind of
people in our lives? Do we accept differences?
Rosa Parks made a point by her actions. Through
her actions she caused other people to change
their actions and then - because her point / cause
was so justified, our laws changed.
We can make changes. However, we have to
pick our issues and our causes so people listen
to us.
Think carefully. Listen carefully. Act thoughtfully.
Big movements create big changes.

I WON THE SHOW
I was on my way to a robot show and when
I got there I saw a robot with a tube for a snorkeler
and I thought mine was lame. I went home and
made one that can go through tunnels but I
realized that the other robot can also snorkel
but mine could also go through tunnels and
I won the show.
