if i were a millionaire =)

If I were a millionaire I would use my money for a good cause. I would create a company or program to help people in need but I would first take care of my family. My mom has seven siblings 3 of which still live in the Philippines. My mom, 3 of her brothers, and one of her sisters left the Philippines many years ago and came to the states. But my 2 aunts and one uncle that still live there are not nearly as fortunate as we are. I would first take care of my aunts and uncle and their children and grandchildren. I would make sure they have all the things they need like good houses and money to send the young children to school and buy food.

After taking care of my family, I would create my company to help people in need-especially children. I was in Peru this past summer with my friends and we visited two orphanages. All the children there had no families. A little girl, who was probably about 4 years old, came up to me and started playing with my monkey key chain on my Kipling shoulder bag. I felt I had to give it to her. She let me carry her and she sat in my lap when we sang a song to the kids. After we left, I felt so sad for those children who had nothing. I will use my money to make sure children without parents or family will be well taken care of and will get to have a good family.

After using my money for a good cause, I would put money away to save for my future and other important things like my future family. When I grow up, I want to have kids of my own, but I want to adopt triplets. When we were at one of the orphanages in Peru, there was a set of triplets-girls. They were so close to each other and they were afraid that they would get adopted into different families. I’m going to keep the kids that I adopt with their siblings. I’m going to save up money for my kids to go to good schools from kindergarten all the way through college. Of course I will splurge my money every once-in-a-while for fun, but I’ll make sure that I use my money wisely.
