One Thing I Wish I Had
A WISH
By Arianna
A Christmas present can lead to anything, especially a violin. After being to Italy, famous for its painters and violins, I have wanted nothing more than to have a beautiful violin. Maybe other people have gone through the same thing, but trust me when I say thereÕs nothing better then having a beautiful violin.
It was a crisp, clear, starry night, my first Christmas in Virginia, and I had gotten my first violin. My heart was burning with excitement, and my head was screaming. Now my parents have to give me lessons, and they did! We arranged for Mrs. Jennifer Deal to teach me, and her violin sounded incredible! I worked hard and faithfully and soon the first Suzuki violin book was in the past and the second one was coming. I had never had a more amazing experience on a musical instrument before. But it was not over, there was more tom come.
Well in the spring of 2002 my family took me on a trip to Italy. We were in Florence at the time and we were walking down a narrow Italian side street we came upon a small violin shop. We walked inside and a jolly old man flying strands of cloudy gray hair smiled down at me and greeted my parents with the Italian greeting Chow. That was when I got my first glimpse of my surroundings. The walls were lined with glass cases filled with beautifully carved violins; they were all just downright beautiful! I then decided right there that the thing I wanted most in the world was an amazingly beautiful violin.
We finished our trip and returned to Virginia with something to brag about. I still could not get the image of the violin-lined walls out of my head. I decided to start saving, (good luck to me), and the worst part was I was only two sizes of violin away from an adult size (not good)! I need to hurry up with the saving if IÕm to get anything worth playing.
If the same thing happens to you what would you do? Well I'm still saving and I don't know if I'll make it to the price, but one thing I can do is try. I get more determined each year as I get closer to the adult size. I hope I reach the price!

Hovercrafts
Joshua
What I wish I had let me think. I wish I had a hovercraft. So then I could be above everyone else. Literally maybe then I could be as independent as a bird flying solo. Everyone is always in my personal space. Well not any more! I am going to make a hovercraft! It was a hot summer day and I was playing a game of lacrosse with my friends. Then one of them decides to hit me over the head with his stick. That aggravated me so much I could blow a blood vessel. I wish that I could soar above him and everyone else.
Boom! Right then and there it hit me like a freight train! I had to have a hovercraft. Then and only then would I be satisfied. Good thing my brother knows how to make one. He also taught me a little bit about it. I have not made my masterpiece yet but I certainly will.
Rats! Life is cruel and unusual some times. I crave a hovercraft for hours and hours of fun at a time. Except the more I think about it the more I never want to make one. Am I insane or just confused? Anyway a hovercraft would be a remarkably fun toy. So why don't I think so?
Today I received fantastic news! My dad is going to help make a hovercraft! Yes! Wait I still don't care, or do I? I need to decide, hovercraft or no hovercraft. Yes, hovercraft is my final and wisest answer. My dad brother and I will get started in a matter of days now. All right you all think I am crazy now don't you, well you are wrong. I am not crazy. I just know what I want. That is a hovercraft. You probably want one too, don't you? I know you could find a use for one. So you know how I feel. Thanks a lot for reading my paper. MY ONE AND ONLY WISH

Something I wish I had is fairy godparents. I would love to have a mansion. All of my dogs I had ran away or been given away. I never had a king size bed. If I had all of these things I would go crazy.
If I had fairy godparents I would wish for a mansion. My family would have a big screen TV. I would want an indoor pool in our house. My mom would pay a fantastic cook to cook for us. Our mansion would be so wonderful for us.
The other thing I would wish for is a dog. I would wish for a dog so I can play with it when my friends canÕt play. Another reason is so it will protect me from another dog. My dog would be as nice as an angel to me. Last but no least a king size bed. I would sleep like a newborn baby. A good thing is I wouldnÕt roll off my bed. I would jump on that bed night until day. I would love my king size bed.
I would love the world if I had fairy godparents. I donÕt know what I would do if I had fairy godparents. I would just wish for every thing. Everything my family wishes for they will grant it. I hope my wish having fairy godparents comes true one day.

Stars
Today you will learn about something I wish I had. The thing I wish I had is a star. It is very likely you will see these crazy shaped lights every night. These so called lights arenÕt really lights! They donÕt even shine! The sunÕs (which is all the way on the other side of the Earth) rays that miss the Earth hit the stars. The cool thing about stars isÉÉÉ sometimes they explode.
I know stars can be boring, but sometimes they can be quite fascinating. Stars look like they glow in the dark, which is cool, but they donÕt. If you see one race across the sky, you should make a wish. Some stars can hypnotize people. These beautiful and magnificent stars are hypnotic because if you look at them for a long time you get a good feeling in the pit of your stomach. Did you know stars can be really important to people?
Stars can be very important to people, in many ways. One reason stars are important to people is, if you are sad you can talk to a star. Trust me they will listen. Another reason stars are important is, if you are bored you can count the stars (which would take up all your time). Now you know why stars are important to people.
I think stars are the most important things in the world today. They listen to you and even can waste time. Stars are also the most famous things on Earth. They always appear when someone gets knocked out. Now you now why I chose stars as something I wish I had.

Being The Youngest
by Mike
I wish I had a baby brother. I always get beat up and made fun of by my mean and awful brothers. It's my turn to be mean! The closest thing I have to a baby brother is my neighbor. Not even a cousin! I have decided: It's time I get a baby brother!
I donÕt like being the youngest. Whoever decided that I should be the baby is a monster! I don't have any power as the youngest. Whenever I get introduced to someone, my mom says, "He's the baby of the family." I think inside of my mind, "I am not the baby!"I hate being the baby!
He might actually be fun to play with. I could probably bench press him if I wanted to. Whenever he tries to hold onto something I could peel his hands off. (Actually, that would be more like terrorizing.) Sometimes he would be a pain. So, maybe I could have fun with him.
In reality, my parents are way too old to have a baby. So, I guess I'll have to deal with being the youngest. I guess my neighbor will have to be close enough. I guess after al this writing I will wrap this up in five simple words: I hate being the baby! �
