In English today,
In English today, we were talking about the Make a Wish Foundation because we are about to start The Fault in Our Stars (YES!). Anyways, we had to write a paragraph about what we would wish for if we had an illness that wasn't life threatening, but it was serious. We couldn't wish for a million dollars or anything like that and and it had to be an experience.
I wrote that I'd wish to dance with professional European ballerinas and perform in a production. I said European dancers because then I'd have to travel to Europe (a continent I've always wanted to visit.) and I'd would get to do something I love: dance. It's a two in one deal!
If you had to make a wish (or two), what would you ask for?

Whenever I think of something like this I always end up with hanging out with my friends. So in other words I would save my wish indefinitely.

I would probably wish to meet the Doctor Who cast or something like that. Because I'm NERDY.

Hmm. I've thought about this. Either travel all across Europe, or go to Prince Edward Island and meet Meagen Follows and Aselin Debison!
And I STILL haven't read The Fault in Our Stars.

Please read it. It will make you cry

I would wish to meet one of my Imagineering idols and the Vlogbrothers in Disney World while at a Civil Wars/Ed Sheeran concert.

That would have to be organized very, very carefully.
(September 27, 2013 - 4:52 pm)
Yup. Oh, and instead of just meeting, we should be designing a roller coaster.

I would visit Africa to give them clean water, medicine, food, better towns, toys, and other things they would need. It would make me happy to see them as happy and healthy people. Africa is not just poor, there are rich areas too. I would go to the poor areas and help there. I don't really know how I would get enough clean water and everything else but I would find a way. If I had more wishes I would help the whole world just like I would help Africa. And I have always wanted to go to Africa because it has amazing people, animals, and I am 5% African (I am also black foot and Cherokee and white). So to shorten this I would go to Africa and help the people there.

That's not really how the Make A Wish foundation works.
(September 27, 2013 - 2:00 pm)
It's still a really good idea. If they had the resources to do that, that would be awesome.

Hmmm... I would ethier wish to go to Disney World, Italy, or France with Dylan Schmid (Once Upon A Time), Jon Cozart (YouTube "paint"), the cast of Once Upon a Time, Anne Hathaway, or Taylor Swift. Or get to be in a Broadway show, or at least get front row seats and a backstage pass to a show, preferrably Wicked.
Make-A-Wish is my favorite foundation. It helps kids when they need it most, and I'm pretty sure Disney supports it.
Ok, ok, this is just creepy... Bobette (my spam thingy) says katy. She must like Katy Perry! And yes, I would like to meet Katy Perry.

I'm sure that my ears perked up, my eyes obtained a new shine, and the corners of my lips turned up when you mentioned Taylor Swift. I love her...I have not seen Once Upon A Time, but it's my friend's favorite show. I really should watch it.
As for the question, I would probably end up the same as Gollum. Or maybe I'd just hug everybody in the world (except for maybe assassins and the like).
