Grant the wishes. Everyone feels good. Everybody cries.

Although you cannot wish for something that you believe is impossible to achieve in the real world. So no flying pigs or bringing people back from the grave but if you did get the chance to win a prize and change this world, how would you go about it?

After watching the TED prize video in class, I thought about all the things that anyone could change. I have thought about poverty, so many go without the basic things in life for example clean water, nutrition, clothing, and shelter. Although I wonder sometimes, how many Americans really know what poverty is? Most of the people in this world talk about poverty on television but they don't look like they've ever been poor. Poor folks know firsthand that poverty is more than just a lack of money. It's also a lack of spirit, a lack of optimism about your abilities and resources.



My first wish would be to help with the poor health and nutrition. It’s the main way to keep away the common health problems. Inadequate nutrition in childhood undermines the ability of individuals to develop their full capabilities. The lack of many essential minerals could impair brain development. Almost two billion people in this world are affected by iodine deficiency and an estimated forty percent under the age of four are suffering from anemia because of insufficient iron in their diets.
The second wish would have to deal with homeless people. Even though many have lost their homes because they wasted and threw away their money, I still don’t think anyone should be without a warm bed. Even though a lot of them are just poor and have never had anything, they should still have the ability to feel safe somewhere.



Finally my third wish would be to see that education prices be lowered so many can afford to go to school and be successful in life. Research has found that there is a high risk of educational underachievement for children who are from low-income housing circumstances. Or even for homeless children and poor people. Many children in the United States drop out not completing their high school education. I f people in this world would try and actually work together to become successful, it would be a better place for everyone. Not as many would be living on the streets nor would they have to worry about being poor. A prize is one thing, but the power to use it makes matters better for us Americans. I mean anything is possible, if you just set your mind to it.
