I have tried being a vegetarian a couple of times (I am 11 years old) but it only lasted a week or so each time. I have always loved animals and never wanted to hurt them. I realized that I was taking an animal’s life away just so I could eat meat. I know that I can have a healthy diet without eating meat. Now I am fully committed to being a vegan!
My mom is also vegan, so she helps support me in many ways. We love to cook meals together. I have lots of fun cooking meals myself too. At first there were some foods that were hard to give up, such as ice cream, chicken burritos, eggs, greek yogurt and cinnamon bread. Since I have found vegan alternatives for most of these things, I don’t miss them as much.
I am very happy being vegan and I feel better physically. I know I am making a difference in the world by not eating meat. I am also helping the environment. I am glad I have made the decision to stop eating animals. They should be treated equally with love and care.

Wow!! That was an AMAZING essay!! I am SOOO impressed and if I wouldn't miss meat so much, you'd have me pretty much convinced to go vegan!! LOL! Gotta see if I can try some of those favorite vegan things though, especially the oatmeal raisin cookies--my favorite kind of cookie! :) Great job and love you, Brilliant One!! MWAH!!
Thank you very much! Love you too.
