If I could be another person for a day, I would be a pop star. Because I want to be famous. I think being famous is very exciting. For example, when I walk on the street, everybody would notice me. There will be a line wanting me to sign on their paper. I really want to try that. Also when I perform on the stage, I will earn a lot of money. For example, if I am a singer, I would sing on the stage and I will also earn lots of money just by singing. When I earn a lot of money, I can give it to my mother and father. Also with the money I earned, I can use it for the school fee because it’s really expensive compared to korean school which are usually free. I can buy more cloth if I am a star. If I earn money I can buy clothes with that. Because my mom buys me only simple clothes but actually I want a pretty not simple ones. Also I would buy mom a cloth. My mom doesn’t buy her chloe but she buys me, my younger brother and my father. I don’t think it’s fair. But I can’t buy her a cloth because I don’t have money. The real reason I chose pop singer is because I love to sing songs. My wish was to perform in front of a lot of people and sing. I usually sing real loud when I’m in a house by myself. When I was young, I used to perform in front and I usually got “the best” award. I was so happy that time. I wonder if I can still get the best award. These are the reason why I would like to be a pop star. I want to be a pop star because i love to sing. I love to sing because my father likes to sing. So... I think that’s the all...
