The dream started badly. You were in line with your family at a restaurant waiting to be sent to school. Everywhere you looked there were posters of president-elect Bird Brain, looking like a crazy elephant who could eat a whole cake.
Suddenly, there was Ralph Waldo Emerson telling you, "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." You realized that you have something to contribute to the world so you decided to run. But it wasn't easy. First, you had to put on a fancy suit and tie and then you had made a machine to go back in time to the beach so you could convince people to learn about the candidates and the foreign policy
But right there on the beach, there was a giant octopus and it started yelling at everyone. People started to cry. You grabbed a gun from a nearby sandcastle and yelled "MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR LIFE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. Everyone stopped and listened, so you kept going.
Every choice you make influences not only yourself but others as well. Try to make the best decisions for yourself, in which the decision helps others as well. Don't be afraid to speak out too. Everyone has an opinion and great ideas; you just need to express them. Also, don't let past decisions dictate how you live your life in the present. Have confidence in yourself. One small mistake doesn't define who you are. In the essay' On Self-Reliance", Emerson makes us agree that if we don't say what we have on our mind, someone else will say that idea and steal the credit. That is why you should have confidence in yourself and express your ideas. In "A Sound of Thunder", the main character, Eckles, makes a major decision that changes the entire future. His decision changed the entire world. This is why you should believe that everyone has the power to change the world. You just need to make the effort to do it.
