My Three Wishes by Jeffrey

If I had three wishes, I would wish things for my family, my community and myself. My first wish is for my family. My wish would be that we all, including my uncle and Poppy, would live in the same house. My uncle lives 5 hrs away. I think driving to his house is a tough job because after the long drive, people do not want to do anything when we get there. When we get there, people are so exhausted they want to just crash somewhere. My Grandfather lives 2 hrs away and I think going up there is a long drive too. I enjoy everyone’s company; even though we tell crazy stories and tease each other about things that happened in the pass, we are still together. When we go to the Bahamas and we are together for 3 whole weeks, I like to sit back and see my little family altogether.

My second wish is for my community. My wish is that I can help the poor people in my community. Every time I go to downtown *******, I always see poor people trying to get into the rescue mission place. It is a place where the poor go to get fed and a cot to sleep on. I wish I could just reach out and give these poor people a half a million dollars to help them go back to school or into a good house.

My last wish for myself is that I would have my own bedroom. I would wish for a bigger bedroom because now I have to share with my younger siblings and I have a small space. I also think that if I had a bigger room I would not have to keep stacking things on top of each other. I have such a small space and have no room for anything else. When I was little I could put my bike in my room but now I can’t because I have siblings and too much stuff.
