One day, while in school I was so tired. I felt like passing out. I laid my head on my desk but then instead of going to sleep I started to fly. I was shocked and everyone looked at me. I took my stuff and flew home. When I was flying home I saw the school garden and trees and a lot of buildings. I flew to the park and talked to my friends at school and I flew back home. It was the best day ever.

It was a normal day when I woke up or so I thought. I started walking then all of a sudden I started flying. Since I could fly, I flew to Mexico. It was so pretty. I saw my grandma and grandpa and I hugged them. When I was there I started missing my family so I flew back to my house. The next day it was school. I did not want people to know I could fly so I put heavy rocks in my backpack so I could stay on the ground. It was really heavy! Luckily it was just a dream!

I had just finished dinner and it was delicious. My mom made my favorite and it tasted extra special. All of a sudden I started flying. SInce I could fly I decided to  fly to Disney World in Florida.  I have never been to Disney before so I knew it would be very fun to go. It was night time when I started to fly, I knew that flying at night no one would be able to see m. Also so I could get there in the morning and start having fun right away. The first ride that I would get on is the one called Splash Mountain. I would also like to get on all the water rides, they are all my favorite. I will take lots of pictures with all the Disney characters in the park. I'll plan to fly there when my family is sleeping and be back before anyone notices.

One day while sitting and looking outside of my window, I wish that I would be able to go see the stars. All of a sudden my feet lifted off the ground and I was flying. I made sure to be quiet so I didn't wake anyone. I opened up my window and just started to fly. I flew so high I got to the moon. I watched thousands of stars light up the sky. I could have stayed forever, but I knew it was late. So I floated back to my bed. I stared up in the sky, amazed at my newest trip.

While sitting and looking outside of my window, I wish that I would be able to go to the beach and  I would want to go because I haven't been to the beach for a long time. Then all of a sudden I took flight all on my own. I was up in the clouds and everything looked so small. I went over so many buildings and places. I finally made it to the beach. Once I got there I took my shoes off and walked in the sand. I swam in the clear waters and make sand castles. But I knew my mom would be looking for me soon, so I flew back and got back into bed without waking anyone up.
