If I Had a Million Dollars
If I had a million dollars, first of all I would be so lucky because that is a lot of money and I would be so fortunate to be blessed with all of that money. The first thing I would do with my money is take my whole family out to dinner, and not to some cheap, dirty place. A place that is nice, quiet and has great food. I think that would probably cost around two-hundred dollars which leaves me with seven-hundred fifty thousand dollars left. The second thing I would do with my money would be to give two thousand dollars to a homeless facility somewhere in my community. That leaves me with five-hundred fifty dollars thousand dollars now. The third thing I would do with my money is go on a missionary trip to Africa and help with less fortunate kids because when I am at home watching television, or eating a good dinner, or working on my laptop, I think about all of those kids in Africa who are laying on the roads or living on their own without parents or anyone to take care of them and it makes me appreciate everything that I have. Once my trip to Africa is over, I would give one third of the money I have left to a hospital to help pay for technology to help people with cancer because I think that f there was better or more technology then maybe they could save more lives. The other one third of the money would go to my church to help support the building fund because we are building a new church and to also help support their youth ministries. And the last one third of the money, I would keep for myself in future things to come. So that is what I would do if I had a million dollars and I hope one day I will be blessed with a million dollars and really get to do all of those things.

My Favorite Fall Activity
My favorite fall activity would have to be going out into the yard and raking the leaves. Raking leaves is my favorite fall activity because I just love to be outside and especially during the fall season, because all of the tree leaves are changing colors. Also because there is a certain smell of fall like wood burning and trees that I just love so much. The person who I usually and most likely do this raking with is my dad. I do this with him because his job includes him working outside and so he is used to all of the outdoors work. When my dad and I do the leaf raking, it is usually about two or three weeks after the leaves start changing because that is when most of the leaves have fallen and it would be silly to clean up the leaves, before they have all fallen because you mind as well do more work than you have to. When I do the leaf raking and leaf clean up with my dad, I feel many emotions. For one, I feel excited because as soon as the tree leaves start changing colors and the leaves then start falling, and then that officially means that it is fall outside. And fall is my favorite season too because everything is just so beautiful and I love the weather. Another emotion I feel is ready. When I say ready, I mean that I have been waiting for fall and I know that it is coming soon or is even here. My last emotion is renewed because it is a change of season and it is like a new begging. So you want to get organized for the new season. So I hope this paragraph helped you learn a little more about me and my favorite fall activity. I hope you like the upcoming fall season as much as I will.

Sameness and Difference
In my own opinion, I think sameness would be a great thing to have in the world and a bad thing to have in the world. I think that because if everyone was the same and equal to everyone else then no one could be better than someone else. No one could have better clothes or a nicer house or have more money than someone. We would all be equal and we all would be the same. Sameness also has some bad things to it because if we were all the same, then we would not be ourselves, we would be each other and not unique and different in our own way. Also because if we were all the same, then how would we express ourselves? One way we express ourselves is by our clothing. If we all had the same clothes on, then how would we express ourselves? I think sameness would be a great thing to have in our world and society, but i think that we would eventually want difference back because even though no one would be better than each other, we would eventually like to be our own selves again and like to express who we are. So this is my own opinion on why sameness would be good and why sameness would be not so good.
My opinion about difference is that it is a great thing in the world and in our society. I think difference is good because difference is about being yourself and like nobody else in the whole wide world. You, yourself, is like nobody else in the whole universe. Not one person. That is what makes you special. Is that you are like nobody else but yourself. I think difference can also have a bad side to it because even though being different means being like nodody else, being different can mean that people in the world may have nicer clothes or be smarter than you or have a nicer house or even be better at sports. Being different from everyone else means that people can make fun of you for not having what they have or not being as good as them. So this is my own opinion about why difference is a good thing and why difference is a bad thing.
What I think could be changed about sameness and difference is that they would not be permanent or complete sameness or difference. For instance, we could all have the same kind of house but wear different clothes. Or we could all wear the same type of clothes but have a different house. There are so many thing that could be different and stay the same that make us different and the same.
So this is my opinion on sameness and difference and what is good about it and what is bad about it. Also what could be changed about sameness and difference.
