Free Write: 1 Million Dollars.

If I had 1 million dollars, first i would by my parents a new house. Then i would go to the mall, and get everything that i can. I would pay for my college education. I would put some of that money in the bank. Then I would buy myself a car. If i had a million dollars, i would build my own school just for me. The rest of the money, i wouldn't know what i will do with it.

Furthermore, I probably would give some money to the people that are in need. I would start my own business. That what i will do if i had a million dollars.

Free Write: What If.?.?.?.

What if you can get money anytime you want. If people could get money anytime they want, we wouldn't be in a recession right now. If i could get money anytime i want, i would get anything that i want to get. If people could get money anytime they wanted to, schools will have more books and could remodel the school. If people could money anytime they wanted to, everyone would be rich and it would be no more poor people in the United States Of America. I wish people could get money anytime they wanted to.

If people get money when they want to, i don't think people would be robbing other people. i don't think it will be any violence in the world. We will have all the money in the world if people could get money when they wanted to. People will have enough food that will last for a lifetime. If people could get money will they wanted to, people won't have to stress about paying bills. Everything world be perfect in the world if people could get money when ever they wanted to. There wouldn't be any wars going on. People would have plenty of oil. If people had all the money in the world, I think that it will bring peace in the world. People will be happy. Life would just be like heaven!

Free Write: My Favorite Class.

My favorite class was when I was in the 3rd grade. My teacher name was Mrs. Henderson. What made her class fun was everything. We did a lot of activities everyday. She never got mad at us. We always did hands on activities. She was the best teacher I ever had. One thing I could remember about my 3rd grade teacher was she never was angry at us. My 3rd grade teacher taught us things that the whole class was interested in.

What was also fun about that class was when we did good, we would get rewarded for it. I thought that's what made my class even focus more about learning. My teacher always new when something was wrong with her students. She would ask the class what do we like about my school and how could we make it better. This is why she was my best teacher i ever had.

Free Write: Family

I think family is important to everybody. Without your family, I believe that you wouldn't be the person that you are today. Without my family, i wouldn't know what i would do. My family supports me in everything i do. They never let me make wrong decisions.

Without my family i wouldn't be nothing. My family cares about me. They are always keeping you out of trouble. They always make sure that I'm doing good in school. My family encourage me. They want me to do something in life. They want me to be the best person that i can be. My family gets me what ever i want most of the time. They always know when something is wrong with me and if I'm mad about something.

In conclusion, i think that everyone should be glad that they have a family that cares about them. Without my family my life would be nothing. So i think everyone should be thankful that that they have a family. Because some people in this world don't even have family.
