Three Magical Wishes Essays - Superstitions, Wish, Locket, Genie

English 2B C Allen 9/4/14 Three Magical Wishes I was sitting on the beach when I noticed a shimmering light in the corner of my eye. As I looked over I saw a shiny gold necklace lying in the sand. I quickly walked over to the necklace and realized it was vibrating. As I opened the locket I heard a high-pitched voice, which startled me. Inside the locket was a tiny genie who was sitting on the inside part of the necklace. Hello, my name is Tom and Im a genie here to grant you a material wish, a philosophical wish and a future goal wish. Cautiously I accepted the offer and began thinking about what I wanted to wish for. After thinking long and hard about what I wanted my material wish to be, I finally decided I wanted to own a G Wagon. A G Wagon is one of the most expensive cars so I knew I would never get one from my parents and I would probably never buy one myself. The style and colors of the G Wagons were also a huge reason in finalizing my decision on what to wish for. As I told Tom what I wanted, a pair of keys appeared in my hand. This was by far the best day of my life. There are so many things I wish I could change in this world. For my philosophical wish, I chose to find a cure for ALS. To me, ALS is one of the worst diseases someone can get. As your body slowly stops functioning your brain is perfectly fine so you basically watch yourself die. I dont want anyone to have to suffer through a disease like that so when thinking of a philosophical wish, it was fairly easy. Being successful in whatever I do would be my future goal wish. So many doors would open if I were successful in whatever I set my mind to. Finding a job would be less hard because I would be good at whatever I was pursuing. I have trouble in subjects such as math so I wouldnt have to deal with struggling in that course anymore. Having everything come naturally to me so I could do well in every aspect of my life would be great! Soon after I was granted my three wishes, Tom told me he had to go back inside of the locket to go grant other peoples wishes. I walked with Tom to the locket and slowly placed him down in it. Tom, thank you for granting my three wishes I said and just like that, Tom was gone. I was so happy with all my wishes and my life, to me, was perfect.
