The video is trying to tell you that the small things you do can influence others to do the same... And they can build up to make a big difference. Despite age, size, strength, gender, or race, we can all get to together and make a change... It doesn't take much, but it can make a huge impact. Sometimes you have to be the first, but that doesn't mean that you will be alone. Team work is key to making a difference in this world. Every minute of everday, you're a part of everybody. Act it.

I think the message of this video is that you are never too small to make a change. Although the boy maybe knew he wasnt strong enough to do it by himself, he still went over and tried, encouraging others to do the same. His actions started affecting the actions of others. You have to be brave enough to step up and be the first, because as you see the actions of one DOES make a difference!

this video means to me that everything is possible; the little boy saw something he wanted to change, he knew he couldnt move that tree alone, but he kept trying. after people saw what he was trying to do, they helped him move it.
so its saying anything is possible when you have the help of others :)

I think that this video means no matter how big or small you are you can still make a difference, because he knew he could be there for hours but instead by walking up to the fallen tree and trying to move it he influenced others into thinking lets help him and eventually they moved by working all together.
I think that this video is trying to say that...even the smallest difference still makes a DIFFERENCE. Like, for an example...today, at the assembly, when Natasha and Emma we're giving that speech about plastic water bottles. They were saying that even 12% of the world recycled their water bottles. But that was an example. But once again. The message is that EVERY little thing helps! :)

I think the message of the video was that instead of just being the change. You should stay united and work together to make the path to flow calm and slowly and be a smooth road after the hardships that were faced in the challenge of being that change. So if you want to be the change and stay united. You have to work together with others around you.

This special video showed me and probably many other people that you can achieve whatever you want. Like when the boy wanted to move the tree from the road he was determined to move it and people saw that so they wanted to help him, and that also shows people that random acts of kindness like helping the poor boy will make a difference even if if's a small act, it will still make a difference.

I think the message that was trying to be conveyed in this video was that every little bit helps. When the little boy was trying to move the tree by himself, he knew that he probably couldn't, but still tried to. When all the others saw him, they all helped. This shows that if you take on the initiative to do something, you really can make a difference.

I think that the point that this video was trying get across was that size/age/strength etc. doesn't matter. There is this expression that I use:
"When there's a will there's a way."
Everyone in the video wanted to get to where they needed to go including the kid. The only difference between the kid and everyone else was that the kid had realized that the tree wouldn't move by itself so he decided to do something about it. He knew he was small but he also knew that it was better than sitting down and doing nothing.

The video showed me that if we all work together, we can make a big difference in the world. With just the one kid starting a whole chain of events that led to the disposal of the tree, he managed to keep trying to pick it up, with his tiny arms. He knew that he couldn't, but he did anyway, because he was being his own little change in the world.

This video has showed me that everyone should work together to make our community more friendly and if we do this then we are able to make a difference. Also. that even if the thing you do isn't that big of a deal to you it may be a big deal to someone else. One little thing can change the world.

I think that the message of this video is that if you want/need something bad enough, you can achieve it. It could aslo mean that if you set an example, others will follow. If a group of people all share a common passion or need for something, then they can achieve heaps more than what a group of people who don't care can achieve.
-Amy
The message of the video is no matter how young or small you are you can make a difference. All it takes is one person to make the first move then others will follow. You should try to be that first person because you can make a change.
-Gina
I think that this special video is trying to say that you are never to small to be able to make a difference. And if you are brave enough to be the first person to try, at first it will be very hard to achieve what you want but then as more and more people join your cause it will be done.
-Christiaan
I think this video is trying to say that if we all work together we can acomplish anything... even moving a huge tree. Its trying to tell the world or anyone who sees it that you should help anyone in need and by doing that we can change the world.
-Kalen
I think the message in this video is that every little thing you try will influence the world. I also think it ment if you tried others will eventually come along to help you and you can do something and BE THE CHANGE. Even if your young and you think you can't make a change you can, you just have to start it then people will help you finish it.
-Isabel
I think the message in this video is when you want something done or changed, you have to try your best. That no matter who you are your effort could be the spark that affects everyone and is the start of the solution.

I was very interested and excited to find out that we would be communicating with a university all the way in canada to try and do something to help stop global warming. I think the most useful way to learn about global warming and the carbbon cycle is by watching videos.
