Helen on Eighty-Sixth Street Quickwrite

Original:

When I was younger, I always make wishes and hope to get what I wished. I have had wishes like my parents getting me something that I really wanted. But it doesn’t usually come true. Then, I know that making wishes is just dreaming and hoping to have some sort of things, and don’t usually come true. When I became older, I still make wishes, but didn’t hope as much as before for it to come true. Now I have saved up some money, so if I want to buy something, I can pay on my own. But sometimes when buying things that I know my parents will not want me to buy or to own those things, I wished that they will not discover that I bought those things. And this kind of wishes comes true quite a few times. I know that I have been wanting for more things when I already have quite a lot, and sometimes I use only once the thing I bought. So I don’t wish as much now.
