If I had a pencil - Laura Perez 2ºAR

If I had a pencil

            If I had a pencil, I would demonstrate that I am not only able to take water from one place to another or to help my family to clean the house. I am able to do many things, like writing. I could write whatever I want, my adventures and experiences, stories and poems, take notes to learn, teach other people to write, etc…

            If I had a pencil, I would describe all my adventures, my experiences, my feelings... I wouldn’t have to remember the main things and forget the details.

            If I had a pencil, I would become a professional writer with my amazing stories and fantastic poems. I wouldn’t have to dream it, I would have to live it. I could live doing what I want, being a writer.

            If I had a pencil, I would have a better education because I wouldn’t forget the things I learn if I wrote them in papers. And, if I don’t learn in the school, in the future, I will not have a good job and I won’t earn much more money to live better.

            If I had a pencil, I would draw how I see the world, instead of imagining it. The tall trees, the colourful flowers, the docile animals, the people living in peace, no death from lack of food or water, all the happy families, the world without wars…

If I had a pencil, I would give it to my family and friends, as a gift, in special days.Because, what good is it having something that only you enjoy?

            If I had a pencil, I would have fun with it, imagining that I am an amazing wizard that can disappear in front of the people, can fly to very far places and can do other incredible tricks; a conductor travelling to other countries to direct the most famous Mozart’s symphonies; or an international drummer touring around the world.

            If I had a pencil, I would write all the things that happen throughout the day in my diary. I could save it and in the future I would see it and remember the incredible things that happen, like when I got my first pencil and started to do things that I like, write and draw whatever I want. And, if I became a famous person, I could sell my diary and earn money.
