The Future...


The future, it's something a lot of us wonder about, what new jobs will there be? What cool new inventions will be there? Will we all be millionaires? Will cows grow wings and fly? There are so many questions you could think of about the future, but most no one can say for sure will happen. Everyone has hopes for what will happen in the future. We just don't know basically anything that will happen!

Some of my hopes for the future are that global warming will be solved, the economy will be better and that situations like poverty are improved. Those are probably the main hopes that a lot of people have for the future. They're things that are bad now, so we hope that in the future someone will fix it and each situation will be improved.

There are also many new inventions that people now wish they have, so in the future we hope that people will have those. Some really cool inventions I can think of would be things like teleporting, automatically filling fridge/pantry and of course way better computers than we already have. Teleporting would be amazing because let's say you were sitting at home and kind of hungry and you felt like eating Chinese food. With a teleporter you could just instantly go to China, pick up some food than go home! It would be amazing! An automatically filling fridge/pantry would be a thing where you tell it what you would like to eat and it would just appear! You would never have to go grocery shopping or running out of some food that you really want. Also, better computers would be great. That one is pretty self-explanatory. Our computers are already really amazing, but they could always be better, we always have complaints.

So, in the future, there are many things that we wish would happen and things we wish will be created. We just don't know which or if any of them will happen! So, for the future all we can do is work for the future and hope.

Having a dinosaur as a pet...


Having a dinosaur as a pet seems like a pretty crazy idea. It would be really cool though! Dinosaurs are kind of a weird thing to think about though, no one we know could of possibly seen one, which is unlike many, many things in this world. The only way we can imagine them is through fossils and their skeletons. From there people can create a digital image of what they may have looked like. Although, we can't tell what colour they would have been, so they could have been really bright colours like yellow, purple and green! Or they could have been really bland colours like tan, white and gray. There is just no way to tell!

So even thinking of what a dinosaur was is so hard, thinking of what one would be like as a pet is even harder! When you think of a pet you think of a furry little dog or cat and maybe a cute little fish. Definitely not something as monstrous as a dinosaur! Imagine trying to house train one of those! It would be pretty cool to have one though, well if they were trained... I'm sure it would be the best watch dog ever! No one would dare come near your house with a massive dinosaur standing in front of it!

If I could have a dinosaur as I pet, I think I would want either a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a Pterodactyl. I would want a T-Rex because they're the dinosaur everyone talks about! They're very big and their teeth were huge! A T-Rex in my opinion is the scariest dinosaur. I would want one, as long as it liked me and wouldn't hurt me, because they'd be a great guard dog! It would freak me out a bit waking up in the morning and looking out my window to see it though...

I might want a Pterodactyl as a pet though because it could fly me around to places! No need for a car, if I wanted to go to the mall or a friends house I can just get my pet pterodactyl to fly me somewhere! Those things are also really big, so they must fly very fast, and my friends could fit on too! So if I could have a dinosaur as a pet I would want a cross breed of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Pterodactyl, a Pterodactosaurus Rex!

So having a dinosaur as a pet is a hard thing to imagine, but it would be very cool! It would be hard and probably a bit creepy seeing it in your backyard! So if I could have one dinosaur as a pet it would be a cross breed of a T-Rex and a Pterodactyl, a Pterodactosaurus Rex!

If I won the lottery...


If I won the lottery and obtained 40 million dollars there is a lot of stuff I would LOVE to do! I think I would start with buying a private jet, just because I could travel wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted! I would also donate about 2 or 3 million to charity. I don't know which charities but probably 1 million to poverty in Africa, 0.5 million to animal related charities and 1 million to Haiti. I would also hire someone to personally create my graduation dress. Then I would buy a summer home in the Bahamas and a cottage in Michigan. I would definitely also buy one of those tickets to go to space. That would be AMAZING!

I would use a lot of the money traveling and shopping. I would also save some for when I'm older so I can buy a sick car and a mansion. It would be hard to save the money, but I would save at least 20 million out of my 40 million to use later in my life. I would definitely use some of it to pay for a good university and education. Some of the money I would give to my friends or spend on them like taking them on an awesome vacation, but I would also give a lot to my family, especially my mom. With all that money I would also go shopping a lot and buy super expensive designer clothes that I could never afford right now.

I think my favorite thing about having all that money would be traveling a lot and having an amazingly large house! Having a big beach house and cool cottage would also be really fun! With the money I would also do tons of stuff that I love, like going to concerts. I would even buy those concert tickets to go back stage and meet the bands that are always so overpriced.

Having that much money is hard to even think about! It's just an insanely large number, but I'm sure I wouldn't run out. Right now I don't really know everything that I would do with that money. It'd be nice to have all of that because you wouldn't ever have to be worried about not having enough money or going into debt. I could also donate a lot to charity and that always feels good to know that you're helping, especially with the situation in Haiti.
