So I asked my students to write about their three wishes and they were not allowed to wish for more wishes (LOL!). I have been thinking about it since I assigned it as I wasn’t sure what I would choose. My students were incredibly thoughtful in their posts (you can check them out by clicking any of the blue links on the right) and some were quite extravagant. Lots of fun to read!
After much pondering I have decided that I would like to win some money. This would be my first wish. Not millions and billions, just enough to cover a mortgage for a modest house for me. It would be nice to have a home that was completely paid for without worrying about possibly not being able to afford it. Plus, a nice wee house would get me out of my condo where I am so over sharing walls! 🙂 Though I do love my cozy wee condo, listening to and dealing with neighbours who are so close has become very old after eighteen years!
My second wish would be for my health to always be good. While I only deal with allergies and a cold or flu very rarely, it would be nice to know that I would never get ill. I am happy with growing older, because that is life and life would get very boring if it never ended, but to not deal with aches, pains and illness…that would be fantastic! I could travel and explore and not worry about my health.
I would wish for my final wish that everyone could get along, and stop all the craziness going on in the world right now. No barriers based on race, religion, or sexual orientation. Recognize everyone just as a human. Support one another, help one another and just be kind. It is amazing how far a little kindness can go!
What would you wish for?
