What is a good Citizen?

Before answering the question What is a good Citizen, let's talk about what is a citizen. A citizen can be a person of one's country, one's state, even the entire world. A citizen's job is to make one's own life better. Even though we elect other people to manage government, does not mean we don't have any real power. Citizens should also think about : What can I do for my family to create more wealth, knowledge and justice, but not just only your family, school, country, even the world. To describe subject and citizen in a easier way, a subject is a follower and the citizen is a leader.
I think Kevin Liao is a good citizen in HIS. He creates more wealth, knowledge and justice. After the class of 2009 left, people starts to get away from the basketball court, but Kevin vring all of us back to the basketball court. People started to exercise and communicate again.
Last year, all of us from Grade 7 all the way up to Grade 12 have community service. We were all good citizens.
To be a good citizen, we must take care of our family, school, state, country and the world. Start with the family, how many times a day you will help your family? How long have you been talking to your grandparents since the last time? Before helping the whole world, we should first take care of our own family. What about your school? Did you ever picked up a trash from the floor and throw them away? Country, world. They're all very similar to school and family. - Niahy said.
One of the very important thing that a good citizen should have is responsibilities. Without responsibilities, you wouldn't be a good citizen. The world "citizen" seems a lot of pressure to most of the people, but it is not that hard to be a citizen. Some of the small things can make you a good citizen too, such as recycle papers equals to save trees.
To be a good citizen is a very tough job, but to save our family, friends, good memories we must stand and fight. We all have to be a good citizen.
