If I was in the Wizard of Oz, I would ask the wizard for more self confiedence. I mean, I have SOME self confidence, but not fully. I doubt my self sometimes and don’t trust myself. If I could have more self confidence, I think that would be a solution to a lot of my problems. I think my worries about many things would go away and I wouldn’t care what others think as much anymore. I think self confidence is one of the keys to living a healthy lifestyle, and I’d like to have a healthier lifestyle!
I would ask the wizard for eyes. I have to wear contacts and glasses sometimes and it is a pain to put them in. I dislike having to take them out before bed so I will not ruin them. If I got eyes, then I could see perfectly and not need glasses.
I would want strength. It would help me a lot in my life. I do not have a lot of strength now because of my Crohns. I wish I had some strength. I would use it for many things.
If I had the chance to ask the wizard for something, I would ask him for better ears. (listening ability) I would ask for this because I don’t really listen to my parents that much. When they tell me to do something, it usually takes a couple times of them telling me for it to kick in. Also if they tell me something and I don’t really agree with them, I should still listen. We have our fair share of arguments, and maybe if I would listen better they could be prevented.
I would ask the Wizard of Oz to give me confidence. Confidence is necessary for almost anything. A lot of jobs require this trait,such as a public speaker or a pro sports player. If you don’t have confidence, you will never be able to work to your ability. You couldn’t do your best if you weren’t confident. Therefore, that is what I would ask for.
I would ask to not be judged. Not just me, but everyone is judged. I am usually judged by my dark hair, or my use of subtle eyeliner. I will occasionally wear black, but that doesn’t mean I’m depressed. I simply think black looks good on me. Just because I don’t yell all the time doesn’t mean I’m quiet. Just because my best friend is a boy doesn’t mean I like him. This is why I hate being judged.
I would ask the Wizard for the desire to accomplish my goals. Then I would get it done and move onto the next one. It would make life a lot easier. When you accomplish your goals, anything is possible. In other words, anything can happen, good or bad. Also, believing will help accomplish your goals.
If I had a choice to ask for any kind of attribute, I would ask for more kindness. I would ask for that because I am usually a nice person. But, when somebody does something that makes me angry I usually get really upset and can say very hurtful things. I always apoligize for these things but they are better unsaid.
Probably I would have asked for courage because I chicken out of a lot of things that I don’t feel like doing. Like cleaning my room, or doing my chores. And some things are more detailed like hanging up my clothes when my mom tells me to- but instead I would throw them in the floor. So the wizard should give me courage and wisdom so I am not blind to at least the little things that are important to my life. And so I can see what needs to be done and do it so I am not stressed all the time.
i would ask for courage. i would ask courage so i can be brave. i would be brave and do everything. i can do that anyone would be scared of. thats what i would ask for.
I would ask for the wisdom to do what’s right .To make wise decision .Like to not get in trouble .Also to do my work and homework every time .So basically to be responsible.
If I could ask the Wizard little more kindness. Somtimes I think that I should be a little nicer to some of the people who go to our school. Even though almost all the kids at are school are not the nicest people in the world. Most of the time I am nice to people that treat me kindly, but to the othr kids who are not nice to other peoplpe or me I am not nice to them. Thats what I would ask for if I could have one thing.
I would want smartness. So I could pass all my classes. So I could go and get throw school. So I could be famous. So I could be well known.
If i could ask for anything, it would be to be able to be less shy. I am always quite. iI want to be able to meet new people without being shy. When I meet my family members i have not seen before i get shy and I don`t know what to say. Thats why I want to be less shy.
If I could ask the Wizard for something I would ask for wisdom. I would ask for wisdom, so that I would not have to worry about ever losing my way again. As long as I have wisdom I can easily find my way, and not give into fear like the unwise. In my opinion I am better off with wisdom than anything else.
I would ask for a liver, because a liver is important. Without a liver you could not live. The liver, like the heart is one of the many important body organs. So if it fails you will die. Also if you have a liver you can live a full life.
I would ask for more kindness, because I have some. I dont have alot or i dont have enough. I just wish i had a little more because i would have more friends. I have alot of friends but not enough
.
I would have asked for courage. I am afraide of maney things. One of the things that I am most afraid if is snakes.Ever since I was littleI have hatec snakes.I think it is because my mom allways tells me how if in Mexico you get bitten by a snake you will instantly die or suffer for the rest of your life.Allthough that is just one of the things we all have to face.
If I could ask the for anything, I would ask him for kindness. I am usually a very nice person. Sometimes I just get mad and go off on someone. I just want to be nicer when I get mad at someone. So if I could, I would ask for courage.
I think I need a little more courage because somtimes i get scared about silly things for example reading in front of a classroom. I dont talk allot i’m a very quite person so courage may help me be more outgoing and talk to more people.
If I went to the Wizard, I would ask to be brave. Sometimes I back off on what someone tells me to do. I am not afraid of the dark, but I am just not really brave if I have to present something for school. I also do not like to talk out in front of the class. If I ever went to the wizard, that is what I would ask for.
I would ask the wizard for a job in the army because that is the job I want. I would ask the wizard if my family to come to GA because it has been 4 years. Ask for school to be shorter. For me to live tell I am 100. Have a good life.
I would ask the wizard to give me flexibility. This is important to me because I am the least flexible person anyone would ever meet. In fact, I can not even touch my toes! I want to be more flexible because flexibility would help me run faster and maybe even get help get the Presidential on the fitness test in PE. I have always strived to do that ever since I went to creekland. Many people make fun of me for my lack of flexibility and I would like that to stop. Athleticism and good grades are always what I strive to get better at every day. It has been New Year’s resolutions and goals for my near distant future to become more flexible and better at everything I do.
I would ask the wizard for bravery because when you are skateboarding, you need to have some nerve for some of the stuff that you do. I think i would also like bravery because people dare me to do some pretty crazy stuff in life. Sometimes i can’t do those things because im too scared.
If I was going to see the “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” I would ask him for self confidence. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be snotty and full of myself, but it would be nice to feel more confident. I think this is an important attribute to have. If you feel good and confident about things and work you do, I think you will be happier and less nervous. So if I were to ask the wizard for something it would be self conficence.

So if I were to ask the wizard for something it would be self confidence.
If I were able to ask the wizard of oz whatever I wanted it would be to have better writing skills. I would ask for this because writing is my weakest area in school for things like essays. It would be for how my writing looks like. I would like it to be much neater than it is. Yet I want to be able to write extremely fast at the same time. That is probably my biggest flaw in school.
I would like to be a little more courageous. I am a little afraid of heights and I would like to not be afraid of going up high. There are some things that I would like to do like repelling but I am just afraid. I f I do go up high to do something I will probably only do it once. That is what I would ask for if I could not ask for money.
If I was in the book “The Wizard of Oz”, I would ask him for the ability to speak out more. This is because I am not the most out-going. I would like to be able to talk to anyone about almost anything and not be too shy. I would like to be able to speak in front of crowds without being nervous. Sometimes, I am even too afraid to tell someone how I feel which isn’t good.
I would probably ask for confidence. I am usually very confident, but when it comes to things like sports or singing I just retreat into a tiny vault. This would be a good thing for me because I usually doubt myself even though I end up doing fine. Sometimes this makes me seem shy or nervous which is not what I want to be seen as. Confidence would help me be a better, happier me.
If I could ask the wizard for something I would have to choose more self confidence. I may act like I love myself and I have all of the self confidence in the world, but I really do not. I do not hate myself or anything but I am not always happy with myself. I have so many beautiful best friends and they have so much confidence in themselves and I am envious of that. I wish that before any event whether it is a test or a soccer game that I could tell myself that I am going to do well and give it my best; instead I usually tell myself that I am going to fail and that my best is just not enough.
If I got to ask the Wizard for one thing it would have to be a new mouth. I would want a new mouth so I wouldn’t talk so much in class. Talking in class is what gets me in trouble. So if the Wizard gave me a new mouth I believe I wouldn’t get in as much trouble. That’s what I would ask the Wizard for.
One important attribute that I think i need is to listen to people better. Sometimes I don’t listen when I could get a good idea or interesting thought. One example would be my little brother. Usually his ideas and thoughts are utterly pointless and not at all constructive, and he tries to get our baby brother to do stunts of his (“you shoud walk up to someone and call them a carrot”, and “we shoud set that bird on fire because it won’t be quiet”). But by no means is it my New Years Resolution, because resolutions for some reason just aren’t effective, like the average U.N. resolution. Listening to people will help me improve at everything I do.
I would ask for patience. People say that patience is a virtue if you have it, and all have I say about that is that it is a virtue I don’t have. There are two reasons why I would ask for patience, and the first one is that I am always hurrying to get things done (which is nice as I usually finish quickly), but I immediately start on something else, with very little down time. With some patience, I could still get things done quickly, but I would be able to be patient enough to slow down a little before moving on and starting something else. The second reason is that I am not patient with people at all, and I usually get irritated when they can’t make a point quickly, but with some patience I would be able to not get so irritated when people can’t get to the point with things.
If I were to meet the Wizard of Oz, like anyone I would question my sanity. But if he asked me what I want I would have to say musical talent. Some people would say I already do, but it would take a lot more practice to be able to play a trumpet like I want to. Many other people would have said something completely different. However that is what I would like to be able to do. Still I would call a therapist for myself.
If I could ask a wizard for something, I would ask for courage. The reason I would ask for courage is because, I am very shy. I wish that I was less shy so I wouldn’t mind being called on in class. Also I would like to have courage because, I think if I was less shy I could make more friends. All of those are examples why I would wish to have more courage.
If I could ask the wizard for something then it would be the ability to keep from getting addicted to something. I would choose that because when I watch scary movies I don’t want to stop. At the end of the day it really freaks me out. That’s why I would ask for that. Then I would just stop watching freaky movies all the time.
If I could ask the wizard for anything it would probably be to have the abilty to make my own wishes come true. That way I don’t have to rely on him to make my life fun. Then I would ask for Black Ops, and Modern Warfair 2. Then, if I get really bored, I would soup-up my dads truck. Just like he did too mine.
I would wish probably wish for better sight. Although it’s something that really does not even matter, but i just hate wearing glasses and putting in contacts. Some might think it would be a waste but I think it is a way to save money and conserve time. Also having better sight might actually help me in everyday life. I mean, when I start driving sight is a main key, so I might not get in many crashes and such. It also takes good sight to play sports well to.
If I could get something like that, I would ask for more common sense. The reason is that I sometimes have trouble picking the obvious decision at home or in public. For example, I decide I should act like a weird child in stores I don’t like instead of acting like a normal child. Obviously that’s probably not the best thing to do. More common sense could help me a lot.
If I could ask the Wizard of Oz for something, it would be the ability to “come out of my shell.” I have always been kind of shy and as a result I have very few friends. I wish I could come out of my shell so I could get more friends. Due to my lack of friends, I commonly end up in a place where I know no one and am not able to do much. If I could come out of my shell I wouldn’t end up like that and I would probably be happier.
I would wish that I had a lot of stocks in very wealthy companies. If I had that many stocks I would be a billionaire. If I was a billionaire I would keep reinvesting in stocks and then selling them to make even more money. If I had all that money I would give some to my parents, so they could buy a nicer house and pay their bills. Lastly, I would buy myself a fancy house and a nice car. That I would do if I got a good-sized amount of stocks and became a billionaire.
If I could ask the wizard for one thing I would ask for more bravery. I am not very brave at all. When people ask who wants to go first, I never volunteer. It is just because I am scared to do things first or to do things that could be kind of scary. I have never been brave and I would just like to be brave, like everyone else. I have always been like that. It is just who I am. I don’t necessarily like being a scared person, and would like to stop being like that. I have missed out on a lot of things because of that, and don’t want to miss anymore.
If I could ask the wizard, I would want to be more outgoing. I have always been a rather shy person. I have a hard time bringing things up to people, and I am often nervous about their reactions. If I was more outgoing, I could handle issues better and go further in life.
I would ask the wizard for speed. I’m not really that fast and I want to get faster. A lot of my friends are faster than and I want to keep up with them. I’m not the slowest kid but I’m not the fastest. That is why I would ask for speed.
Well I definitely would have asked the wizard for more height. I want to be five foot four inches now & just keep going till I’m six foot five inches as an adult. Being short has its advantages but I would much rather be tall & not get bullied or anything like that (not that I do get bullied but usually the short ones are the ones that do). It also would make it easier to reach the higher stuff, so I can reach my Mom’s secret stash of Candy on the very top shelf in our kitchen’s pantry. Being tall to me would be so much better than being short!
If I was in The Wizard of Oz, I would ask the wizard for a brain for the scarecrow. I would ask the wizard for a heart for the tin man. I would ask the wizard for a home for the dorothy character. I would ask the wizard for courage for the lion.
If I could I would ask the wizard for more kindness. I am kind but sometimes people get me mad and I say really mean stuff. I would like to be nicer to my sisters and brothers. I try to be nice to them but I get really annoyed with them. I would also ask for kindness because I argue a lot with my mom and dad and I would like it if I argue less with them. That’s why I would ask the wizard for some kindness.
If I could ask the wizard for anything, it would be to stay on track better. The reason for me wanting this is because I can be a procrastinator sometimes. Sometimes I will be told to do something, put it off, and maybe forget about it later. It would also be nice to have so I could get my school work done faster. If I got things done faster, I would have more free time. I think that being able to stay on track better would really help me.
If I got to ask the wizard for a wish I would ask for the ability to be more sure of myself. The reson why I want to be more sure of myself because I like to do things without thinking sometimes.
If I could ask the wizard of oz for something that would be self confidence. Because well I have some self confidence but I don’t think I have much. I would ask him for self confidence because I need it to talk to more people more often. If I had some more self confidence I would be braver to talk to people.
Because I am kind of shy in a way when I meet people, so with self confidence I could talk to people more.
I would ask the wizard for more responsibility. I’m getting better at it, but I need to be responsible more often. I need to help my family around the house. That would put a lot of weight off my parents shoulders. If I can be more responsible, everything in my household would be so much better.

If I was in “The Wizard of Oz”, I would ask for eyes. I have to wear contacts and glasses sometimes and it is a pain to put them in. I dislike having to take them out before bed so I will not ruin them. If I got eyes, then I could see perfectly and not need glasses. I could be more attentive in class and it would help me succeed. Sometimes it can be difficult to see things far away and perfect eyes would make everything clear.
If I could ask the Wizard of Oz for anything it would be better time management because I tend to procrastinate. If I had this helpful skill, I think that not only will my grades go up, but I would also be able to put more activities in my daily schedule. I think that I would do much better in everything, if I had better time management skills. I have tried many ways to not procrastinate, but none have worked. So this would truly be a great gift.
If I could ask the Wizard of Oz for one attribute it would be for a better brain. My brain is fine except for one problem; I have a really, really bad case of short term memory loss. When I was like in 1st through 4th grade I used to remember everything never lost anything and didn’t forget much. Over the summer I must have hit my head really hard because in 5th grade I forgot everything almost instantly. It was so bad that time I would have put my glasses down and when I came and picked them up I walked away, and then ran back looking for my glasses even though they were in my hand. So If there is a Wizard of Oz I would most definitely a brain where I won’t forget everything.
If I could ask the Wizard for something, I would ask for a new personality. My personality is definitely one of a kind! I tend to get in trouble a lot because I am different. I would like to just sit down in class and pay attention. But that’s not me. I wish I could be calmer, more polite, and have the ability to pay more attention in class and get my work done. I think with a new personality I can achieve that!
If I could ask the Wizard of Oz for something, I would ask him to give me the strenghth to be able to take critisism. I know that I’m not perfect, but for some reason I get mad or offended when someone tries to correct me or give me a tip. This is an important attribute because, if you can’t take critisism, it is hard to improve at something. Also, it may make people get the idea that you think you know everything. I don’t want to portray that because nobody likes a know-it-all.
If I was in the wizard of Oz I would ask for humbleness. Most people say I’m a nice person and I kind of am but I am also very mean at times which sometimes destroys relationships that I would like to build up not tear down. Like sometimes people might say something about me and then I might say something back and next thing you know you’ve got a year and a half long rivalry. They might forgive me later about all the fights we’ve had, both physical and verbal, and the all things I said. We might even become friends but still if I hadn’t said anything there wouldn’t have been a rivalry in the first place. If I had humility and was more humble I would stop becoming angry when people say stupid things about me.
If I could ask the Wizard of Oz for anything, it would probably be Self-Confidence. There are times when I do not think I can do things. I’m always telling myself I can’t do something. Like when I take a test, I’ll always tell my friends that I’m going to fail. It’s also like Academic Bowl I’ll know the answer to the question, but I won’t buzz in. I think that’s what I’d ask for.
I would ask for honesty because I can’t keep a secret for very long. It bugs me that I do this to people when it’s not even true. If I could be honest I would keep no secrets away in my life and try to be as pure as I could possibly be. I’m just glad I don’t lie all the time, I just lie from time to time, but it’s still lying.
If I got to go to the Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ and ask him for anything I would ask for the ability to speak out. I would ask for that because, I usually never say what’s on my mind except for when I’m with close friends. If I’m around new people I am always shy. When I’m in class, I rarely raise my hand to answer a question even if I know what the answer is. Also, when I am with a huge group of people I don’t really talk even if I know everyone around me. Hopefully the Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ can magically make my wish come true.
I would like to have more courage.I would like to go up in class more often. I would like to show my skills when someone tells me to dance or sing in front of them. I have a lot of courage with my friends but when it’s up front I think about embrassing myself. If I had more courage I think I will be a better person a better student.
If I were to meet the wizard, I would probably ask for better sight. The reason I would want better sight is beacause I don`t look at everything carefully, such as questions. The second reason is because I cannot see very far. The last reason is because I can`t look in the dark very long because it hurts my eyes. That would help me very much.
I would ask the wizard for a new scuba gear. Because one day i would like to be a oceanographer. To fined new artifacts and fish. I would name the fish after my family. Then become famous world wide.
If i could ask the wizard for something it would be, learning easly. usually when my mom is studying she can look at it one time and know it. But with me i have to go over things 2 or 3 times and then forget. i just wish that i could have Better leraning abilities (reambering things when they are tought). So i would score better on school work.
If i went to the wizard i would ask him for bravery, because i hate scary stuff(movies, pictures). One reason is because every time I want to watch a movie with my cousins they always watch scary movies. My second reason is so i can not always be scared of people that are bigger that me like(8th graders sometimes). My last and fimal reason is so i can actually not be scared of going downstairs in the bitch black to feed my cat. As you can see i am scared of a lot of thing so please wizard give me bravery. A lot of bravery can help me do a lot of things.
What I would ask the wizard for would be self- confidence which means self-esteem. What I want self- confidence for is when I am up to bat in baseball I need slf confidence to get a terrific hit or homerun. Another thing is to have self- confidence on doing good on major tests and get A+. Another one is to have confidence on making double plays in baseball when it is needed. Another one is to respect all my coaches and teachers and do what they ask. These are what I would ask for from the Wizard of Oz.
If I was in “The Wizard of Oz”, I would ask for wisdom. There are many times when I need wisdom. One would when I have to make life decisions. Another time wisdom would help would be to quiet when my teachers are mad at me and G. Wisdom would be helpful with helping others with their decisions. I think wisdom would be the best thing for me.
I would ask for knowledge. So I can get A’s all the time and I could spell. I could also remember street names and that is why I want knowledge.
If I was in the Wizard of OZ, I would ask for better paying attention ability. this year especially, I find myself having troubles paying attention in class. I honestly don’t do it on purpose, i just randomly start thinking about something. Believe it or not i don’t have add I think if I had better paying attention skills I would do better in school.
If I could have anything it would be to have more guts to do things because, belive me I need more guts to do things and thats, what I would tell the wizard of oz.
If I got to choose to be granted a wish I would ask for courage. Some times I feel like iam not confident enough to try new things. I have a lot of goals for myself to try but iam scared to try new things. An example is I take a tumble class and everyone says i can do my round-off backhand spring by myself but iam too scared to try it. If I had more courage I could probably try a lot more new things. Thats what I would wish for.
If I could ask for anything it would wish for people not to think I am stupid. Many people think I am stupid because I sometimes do not use my common sense. It makes make mad when people call me stupid. I am very smart and make good grades. I just wish people would not make a judgment without getting to know me.
If I could ask for one thing I would ask for is a better focus. I sometimes space out during class. Sometimes I space out when my parents are talking to me. If I had a better focus I would get better grades.
I would ask you honesty! I am a very honest person but I do egg rerate a lot. I think if I change this people (my parents especially) would trust me a lot more. Personally I think that e is just as bad as lying to someone’s face! That is defiantly what I would wish for!
If I were to be in a position where I could ask the wizard for something, I would ask for forgiveness or the sense of forgiving. Being able to forgive is one of the best qualities you can have, because until you can forgive you cannot be happy. Statistics say that high stress levels can be caused by a grudge you have against someone or something that has caused you grief. Most Americans have grudges against something, like another person having what they don’t or someone being cruel to them in the past. If people would just forgive this world would be much happier and healthier
