“If I Had Three Wishes…What Would I Wish For and Why?”
By Madison Gladwell
As a child, one of my favorite games to play was the “Three Wishes” game. My friends and I would pick the top three things we wanted most. The answers to this question at that age consisted mostly of trips to Disneyland, becoming princesses, or, in my case, becoming a private detective like Nancy Drew. I’ve grown significantly since that time, and as I’ve grown, my wants and needs have changed- even though I still think Nancy Drew is awesome. My three wishes would be for more patience, a neighborhood park, and for everybody to always feel loved.
