Copy of 10092156.pdf"I'm Hopeful Because…"
My poem was inspired by how I am hopeful for the new school year and what is to come in the near future. I am very proud of this poem I have composed and hope to use this as support in hard times. This poem explains how life is sometimes wonderful and how we should enjoy and live life to its fullest. It also explains how life can be sad or upsetting sometimes and how we often need a helping hand. The thing is, we just have to move on and continue life filled with hope, and life will uplift.

When my family goes to CPK (California Pizza Kitchen), we always see a person walking a pig. He said that he rescued the pig from being pork. He also said, “Pigs are not food.” I am hopeful for pigs to be rescued and not be pork. If many people act like Lisa in my story, pigs will be saved from being pork.

"You Rock Electric Cars!"
I started playing a game called “Tesla Count” when I go on car rides. Electric cars are cars of the future because when they don’t use gasoline, pollution will decrease, then Earth will be a healthier place to live in. One day, I counted 106 Teslas! The more electric cars there are the better the Earth will be. I am hopeful for our future on Earth. In my photograph, I used color variation to represent the past and the future. I made the gasoline cars black and white, and the electric car color to show hope for Earth.

"All Creatures Great and Small"
Some people squirm at the sight of worms. They are not pretty looking, look unimportant, and no one seems to care to see squashed up worms. But worms do great things for our nature and for us. I am hopeful because as long as we have heart for these little worms, they will care for us in return.

"The Hopeful Cube"
Each side of the cube reflects my thoughts on pollution and it's dangers. I am hopeful that in the future, there will be no more pollution.

"Panda Love"
I read that China is saving pandas in a Panda Center in Wolong. It made me think of the pandas I saw last summer in the Taipei Zoo in Taiwan. China gave Taiwan 2 pandas as a gift, and the 2 pandas had 2 babies! If there are more babies then the panda population will increase and they will survive being endangered. I am hopeful for pandas to not go extinct and survive. In my art, I drew hearts. They symbolize my hope for pandas, and the love between mother and baby pandas.

Honorable Mention
"Star Breakers"
My illustration shows how to be kind and helpful - to people and to the planet. I am hopeful because I choose to be good and also pick up trash.
