I Won! Really?
I WON! I WON! I WON!!
Now what to do with all these millions.
Let me just say, even though my mom is really upset today with all the bad news, and everything she gave up for me, only to lose everything she ever worked for, I think I would want to cheer her up.
The problem is, although even money would help solve her problems. She won't accept it from me.
She did teach me to give to others, lots and lots of others. She is my role model.
So, first, I would have to pay the taxes on my winnings. Then, I would need to set up a charitable trust, and a foundation to put all these millions into.
Then, I would have to write a mission statement, about who, where, how, and why the money would be shared with those in need.
There are so many problems in the world these days. I know I can't solve them all.
One thought would be to do a 'pay it forward' kind of thing. So when one person or group gets assistance, rather than paying it back to the foundation, thhey have to work or donate something to someone else.
In the end, if each person who recieved helped another person in need, the world would be a better place, one person at a time.
Nice
Lexie,
It seems like you rushed through this. I also noticed its not a poem or song, so maybe its just the way its written, but I think you need to expand how the money is spent. Nice idea, but maybe its because you learned somehings from your mom but not the details and thats why you left some of the necesary details out. Try to develop that more. but it is a nice idea I think you were thinking that if you set up a trust then the money would gain interest and maybe over time additional donations then making all the money last for a longer time. Nice.
Rushed - Yes!
Yes I did. I looked at the clock when I started, and knew I only had 7 minutes to get it in that Prompt before it closed. So, yes, it was rushed, and I felt a lot of pressure. But, in a way that was a good thing, a great exercise to see if I could work under a time constraint and pressure. I feel comfortable enough here to try that. At school, not so much.
I like taking my time, but at school they are always trying to push me, and rush me through the thought and write process,, and I am not good at it. And then to have a grade put on that, doesn't help. Here I can try to right under pressure, and this was my first time doing that, no thoughts, no scribble on a piece of paper, nothing, and just write as fast Ias I could to the Prompt. I love how there isn't a grade attached to it.

I Won! I LIKE!
Good idea. Different than many others in this prompt, but also alike. Good job.
Thank you
Thank you. That is nice to hear.
needs more
something. add to the middle. change the end too. it's too short. good ideas just needs more.
Thank you
Thank you for your advice.
Good - Needs more detail
I think you rushed. But maybe it was one of those times when the idea came and you wrote so fast to not forget what you were thinking that you forgot to fill in more details. really goog. Nice thanks to your mom too. I like that
Thank you. Yes more detail
As I said in an earlier reply. It was rushed. My choice to put a time limit on it, and a sense of get it done NOW! I need to practice writing that way, that's what my teachers tell me.
typos
other than some typos its okay. the end is confusing
Thank you Typos
Typos I can fix.
What about the ending confused you?
:)
So true
