Reflection

I found my inspiration through my deepest thoughts about how we, as human beings, should be helping the ocean and the animals living in it. Unfortunately, many people have contributed to making the environment worse. I have learned that this problem can only be fixed by us. We have to make this change now. If we just sit around and continue to think, “Well, someone else will do it,” no change will ever happen. Ocean pollution makes me feel saddened by the fact that these ocean animals’ lives are threatened on a daily basis. While I am disheartened with the way things are now, I know that there is hope that people will start realizing the importance of this situation and work towards a solution. “We Can’t Give Up” is a song about how we can get in “the game” and make a difference instead of just watching from the sidelines.
