What Everyone Dreams of by Carly - April 2023 Scholarship Essay

Unlimited time and money, it is what everyone dreams of. In my opinion, time and money are two of the most valuable things that everyone can have in life. We can never get enough time or money.

School has taught me many things. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Y=mx+b. George Washington was the first president of the United States. However, I have never had a direct lesson in school about how I can make a positive impact on the word. When I refer to making a positive impact on the world, I am referring to treating everyone with kindness so this world is a brighter and happier place.

Like I said, I have never had a direct lesson in school about how I can make a positive impact on the world. However, experiences that I have lived through in school have taught me how to make the world a better place just by being kind.

Unlimited money. I would always beg my mom for money to bring to school so that I could buy ice cream and buy books at the book fair. I was lucky enough to have a mom that gave me money to spend. At school, I learned that not everyone was blessed enough to have the extra money to spend at the book fair whether it was on books or smelly pencils. With unlimited money, I would buy everyone a book at the book fair. I would buy everyone an ice cream cone on ice cream day. If I was able to do this, I would make a very positive impact on these individuals lives. A book not mean much to me, but it may mean the world to someone else. Kindness goes a long way.

Unlimited time. Time has went by in the blink of an eye. I wish I could go back to my elementary school days. I learned throughout school how valuable time is, and not to waste a minute of it. Not everyone was the nicest in my days, and there were students who were bullies. People wasted time being rude to others, and it just brought other people down. If I had unlimited time, I would spend my time spreading kindness to everyone whether that was through hanging out more with classmates or taking the time out of my day to compliment people. Time is valuable, and it is more valuable when you spread kindness with that time.

Kindness is valuable. Kindness makes the largest impact on the world. Don't let it go to waste.
