I hope to achieve something great in life. I want to make people happy for example. Therefore, I have decided to start a charity to help others. I wish to change other people’s lives.
The other day I went to a registration office for charities. No one was at the desk. I called them and said: “I demand to see you!” and “I order you to come and talk to me!” They told me “We don’t like to be demanded.” I chose to find my luck elsewhere. I managed to get hold of someone who already runs a charity. I have arranged to see her tomorrow. I think it’s important to help others because everyone deserves to be happy.
