Chatterbox: Down to Earth
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?

I'd also want to visit all the famous places in America, whether natural beauty or historical value!
@ Ashlee: I think that's a wonderful idea! If you really love the idea of helping other countries, there are many church and missionary groups that go to places like Africa and Nicaragua. You may be too young to go now, but you can look into that. And if you want to start helping earlier, there's always things like food and clothes drives, and other ways you can help, especially starting at this time of year. Maybe you could look to see what your community is doing!

I don't know what I would wish for. I would love to travel the world, though. Go visit all the big libraries in the world. That would be fun. Espeacilly if I could take my siblings with me.
But, other than that, I think I'm just fine where I am. I love the ocean by my home and our huge yard. Even if the house does take a super long time to finish, I still love it.

Meet Marrisa Burt, or travel to Europe or Japan. That would be so cool!

Blonde Heroines Rule, I have actually thought about going on mission trips when I am older. I think the youngest I can be is 13, but maybe I am wrong. Africa is not the only place I would want to help; if I could I would help the whole world. Have you heard about Saeed Abedini? I would help him too (and all the others that should not be in jail). I do wish there was a way to get a wish like that, where you have just one wish and you could make it come true. Of course there are things for me I would want to do with one wish but I think helping people who don't have the things I have is more important than getting something like a dog, going to a concert (I have always wanted to go to a live concert or have a pet dog). Oh I would also like to go back in time and help Ann Frank, her family, and all the other Jews. So, helping is my wish. I would like to fix the pass, help those who suffered or are suffering, and make a difference.
