What it Means to be Human

Being human means having the ability to express emotions and communicate with others. We can be compassionate, loving, caring, happy, angry, and sad. Not only can humans have these feelings, but they can also feel sympathy and empathy for others who are struggling. As human, we have the freedom to believe and value what we want, as well as accomplish anything we put our minds to. We also have the ability to think and make our own decisions; choose between right and wrong. Our future lies in our own hands because we have the power to choose our fate. But most of all, being a human is the greatest gift in the world because we can cherish the great memories we share with our family and friends and keep them in our hearts forever.
