Restoring Faith In Humanity 2013

                                                               Restoring Faith In Humanity 2013

I believe this video on YouTube really shows how there are some good people in the world. Many people think everyone is greedy and selfish, but they're wrong. Many people help others because it's all about giving back. Giving back to the world. For example, Justin Bieber is always looking for ways to give back. He helped build a school for needy children in Guatemala. He also flew out to the Philippines to help out Typhoon Haiyan victims. That proves that he IS A GOOD PERSON. He's always giving back, just like the people in the video did. They helped out people in need. PEOPLE SHOULD START BELIEVEING THAT THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE OUT THERE.

#BELIEVE



















ps: Justin Bieber's movie Believe3D will be out in theaters on December 25, 2013.!!

But then, one day, she went up to me and told me, "I want my seventh grade Brenda back." She helped me on my missing assignments, and she helped me by tutoring me as much as she could so I could learn and understand as much as I could so I could pass the Algebra 1 exit exam so I would be able to be in Algebra 2 for my high school freshman year. Well I passed the exam, and here I am now, freshman year at LMHS in Algebra 2. I thank her son much for helping me out. And I also thank many of my classmates who helped me out as well.
