This video makes me feel more aware of what is going on in the world like how in some areas of the world like India were some people aren't always that friendly to each other and that sometimes one little mistake can result in a fight. The sentence "Be the change that you want to see in this world" to me means that if you see something that you think should be done different or be changed, don't wait around for someone else to take notice or do something to change it, you should change it yourself to make that difference. The young boy in this video clearly shows that one person can make a difference no matter where or who you are, and that once you start doing something about the problem, other people may join in to totally resolve it.

At first when I was watching the video I thought it would be just another sad, upsetting video of the way some people in the world live. But then I saw this little boy, certainly not strong enough to lift a whole tree off the road, start pushing the tree. Then some more kids strarted pushing, then some adults, then more and more people started pushing that huge tree. Eventually the tree was moved off the roads and people were diving around the street like it never happened. And let's not forget there was a storm going on too at the time. The video made me feel happy inside and made me feel like we all have hope and with some strength, persistence and hope, we can all make the change we want to see in the world.

When I watched this videoand saw the kid pushing the tree at first I thought it was really cool how he was trying to make a change and then I felt sorry for him. But at the end I felt happy for him because he made the change he wanted to see in the world. That line 'Be The Change You Want to See in the World' is a really powerfull line in the way that it tells you not to say " that needs to be changed, but lets just leave it to the government" no say "I will do it, I will be the change I want to say in the world"

When I saw this video I thought of how one can turn into 1,000,000 in no time at all. " Be The Change You Want To See" means to me if you want something done, do it yourself at first then get help when you fail. This video was a great example, the boy tried to move the tree because it was causing many problems, then people saw him and most probably reliezed that if the tree was moved, all these problems would be sovled.

I personally feel that thos video helped me alot as a person, I definately think that it has mede me aware of the unfariness, and unjust happening in places like India and Afghanistan. You realize that humans are not perfect and they do have their problems and their differences in opinion, but as long as you voice them in the roght way everything will be fine. I think that when somone watches a video like this they realize that humans have power, and we should use it fairly. I also found that it shows you how one person can make a difference, and that showed when the boy started to push the tree, he couldn't do it by himself, but he tried and then everyone saw his effort and went to help him suceed in the goal he had. The sentence "Be the change you want to see in this world" means so much to me, it means that if you want something out of your reach try anyway and you will gradually be pushed foreward and make the wold a better place to live. I also find it means if you see something wrong that you should not just watch from the sidelines you should sand up, hold your hands high and show you have an opinion.
