Changes+that+matter

What are the changes that really matter to you?

The changes that matter to me is family. For example, if my mom or dad gets a divorce- (which they didn't) I would be really sad. I love my family and like to spend time with them. My friends are a change that matters to me because if I didn't have them I wouldn't have anybody to talk to at school and I care about my friends and want them to have a good time.- Bethany (USA)

Yes, family is very important, Bethany. People who affect your life are important. I really would like to share this short video "Change for a dollar". All of us can do positive changes for others. This is Christmas time right now, and Christmas to me is a giving, sharing time. Presents under the tree are not important to me. I enjoy and appreciate people around me much more. Watch the video and share your thoughts! I hope it will touch your heart as it did mine! :) (Arina, USA teacher). []

Hi I am Anna (Austria) I think it must be hard if you move to another city, far away from your old home. Because all of the people you know there, you might not see anymore. :(((

Anna, this is true! Some things you will miss, some new things you will like. But wherever you go, you don't have to lose your friends! I have many friends in the Ukraine, a few from the preschool days. We always stay connected! We were writting letters to each other before we had computers. It's up to people how to save what is important to them in their lives. Some of my friends would not ever move out of the Ukraine...:) They will travel around but never would move out forever from the Ukraine. I am glad I did because I enjoyed all those new experiences, differences and challenges I faced during the past 20 years. It wasn't always easy but it was and still is fun! (Arina, USA teacher)

Hi, I´m Antonia from Austria! I often go to camps in the summer holidays. like I was in Denmark, Portugal and one in Austria. Next summer I will go to Ecuador. These camps are very importent for me, because I can get new friends and I learn a lot about different countries and it´s always hard to say goodbye. But also my family is a big matter. For example if I have problems, they help me.

Hi, I think it would be hard to move to a bigger city and to move away from my friends and family. It would be hard because I love my friends in family where I live. Also, I live on a farm and so i'm used to quiet noises and not a lot of action. But moving to a big city would mean a lot of noises and things happeing all around me.(Alexis,USA)

Changes that matter to me would be, if i ever had to move away from La Plata. I wouldn't have my friends and family to talk to. And it would be hard to get used to new people.(Brooklyn,USA)
