When I grow up, I'm going to be a car engineer and I am going to build cars like nobody else has ever built before. They will have hi-tech gadgets, missile shooting mirrors and they will transform into robots and boats and other things like that. My idea for these cars is that they will help people survive terrible disasters like floods and hurricanes.
When I grow up, I will be rich and famous and my fans will adore me wherever I go. I will invent everything I've ever dreamt of and wished for. When I grow up, I will always be kind and never mean.
But for now, I'm six, so I will follow my dreams starting with Lego. I'll build my future robot transforming, missile shooting, lifesaving cars from Lego and sell my idea to Lego for other kids to play with. And then when I grow up, I'll have actual money to buy real materials and make my future cars.
