If i could live anywhere


If I Could Live Anywhere
            It is very hard for me to pick one place to live if it was anywhere because that is one of my main goals to accomplish in life, to travel. I want to go to many places around the world, but even just places like Hawaii. A very LARGE goal is to visit every continent at least once. Of course I would like to go on more trip than that, but I am just waiting to see what the future holds for me. If it does not have a plan for me to travel, I will make it a plan for me to travel. Anyways, if I had to choose anywhere to live, I would choose anywhere on the coast of Australia. I have always wanted to visit Australia for several reasons. One reason is because it is beyond beautiful there. I want to go and feel the warm sand on the beach squish through my toes before I take a surf board and learn how to catch my first wave, while my pet kangaroo, Charles, is eating a bag of potato chips. I want to make friends that have awesome Australian accents. I want to meet a cute boy who surfs and has baby blue eyes. I want to sit in the ocean on a surf board on New Year’s Eve and watch fireworks with all of my friends. I want to travel the coast of Australia and surf some of the greatest places there like Byron Bay – northern New South Wales, Eaglehawk Neck – southeast Tasmania, and Kalbarri in Australia. I honestly think I was born on the wrong continent because I really want to be in Australia. If I could live anywhere, I would live in Australia.

If money were no object.



I thought doing this project was an awesome experience. It really opened my eyes to all of the different ideas that could be use to benefit society. I think anyone who has a dream like these awesome individuals, should go out and fulfill any dream that a person could have. I think everyone should live out their dreams of helping others including myself.

A Child Called It

My Favorite Book
My favorite book is A Child Called It. This book was written by an amazing man named Dave Pelzer's. This was the first book that led to The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave. I think Pelzer is such an amazing and strong man. I look up to him. He should be an inspiration to everyone. The three books I mentioned are all stories on his life. The first one, which is my favorite, A Child Called It, was about his younger childhood. It explains how he use to have an awesome, loving family, and how his mom turned. The stories he tells about his mom are very gut-wrenching and gruesome. It is only a story I could wish to never happen to anyone in the world. The story starts by running through a normal morning routine in Pelzer’s life. He begins his morning by cleaning the kitchen. He is forced to wash the dirty dishes in scolding hot water. If he stops and takes his hands out, his mother would scream at him and beat him. For breakfast, he was lucky to have the last few pieces of cereal out of his brother’s breakfast bowl. His mother has gone as far as stabbing him before. Despite his rough childhood with events continuing like the few events I mentioned, he grew up into a successful man. I admire him greatly. He is a walking, talking breathing example of what I would call a miracle. He shows that he is strong. He shows that he is independent. He is alive. He survived a terrible nightmare of a life which only made him stronger. To this day, even though there are so many gruesome scenes in this book, A Child Called It is my favorite book. It shows me that there is hope. That is the main lesson I got from this book. The one word and that is, “hope.”
