Pockets are good for storing things and carrying them for you, like your wallet or your cell phone. And then, when you need something, you can just reach inside your pocket and take it out. That’s something that can come in very handy! What does having pockets represent? Did you know that your brain is kind of like having pockets? Let me explain… When you learn something, it goes inside of your brain cells. They hold it for you and keep it safe. It stays in there until you need it.

Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘being disrespectful’? Being disrespectful is when you hurt somebody’s feelings by calling them mean names, or not showing respect to all people. Putting down someone doesn’t make you a better person than them. Not only is it disrespectful to the other person, but it is also disrespectful to yourself. If you make fun of another person, call them names or treat them unfairly, you are being disrespectful. Pockets knows that you are bigger than that. He knows that you are better than that. When you hurt others with your words, you become a small person. A person so small that others cannot see you as a nice person anymore. You make other people scared to talk to you. So be respectful to yourself by not disrespecting others with bad words. Instead, you should use strong words like, “I am sorry,” or, “Please forgive me.” These words are sometimes hard to say, but they make the biggest difference. They can heal and help others all the time.

Writing is his passion.”
