When I have a great grandchild. I want it to have the life as I did as a kid. I had a great life before quarantine. I hope pcms will be still open so they could go to a school that I went to. I hope everyone is smart, nice. But what I mostly want is for them to be happy. That is the biggest thing I dream of them to be happy.

Grandchildren… Well I kind of don't think I’ll get any but who knows, I might be dead by then but anyway, if I had grandchildren I would love to see a few traits from me like some same interests or maybe eyes. I never really looked into great grandchildren that much so this is a weird topic for me. I really hope they get good grades and get a great life unlike a sketch comedian on the internet. I hope for them to be healthy and smart. I hope that even by the time I get grandchildren that the world doesn't end.

Hello Sakura,

It is hard to wrap the mind around great grandchildren at your age. The idea is to look into the future beyond your lifetime and project what your lineage of family will be doing. It is neat that you thought about them having some of your traits. That's the cool thing about passing along your genes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Reid

I think my grandchildren will see way more things that I will have. My best hope is that they have a great life. As of right now I don’t know what I could do that would help them that much in the future, but I know that there will be something. I hope they achieve all the goals they have, and make the world a better place.

When I have a great grandchild I want his or her life to be like mine. I want them to have tons of trees and natural land to play on. Even though it’s probably not going to be like that I would love that to be their life. I want them to be able to go outside and have a yard to play in. I also hope that they have technology just that you don’t have to use it all the time to have fun.

Greetings Davis,

Your thoughts about technology are wise. You want your great grandkids to have technology but not NEED it all the time to enjoy life.

What I want for my Grandchildren and their future is a nice home and yard space to be kids. I would also like them to go to Pcms so they can experience what I have experienced there so far. I would also like for them to have no chaos in their lives, or at least not as much as the last few years. I want the school lunches to taste better, no offense. Lets just be honest, the world basically revolves around the internet, people should go outside more and enjoy the off-internet world. Not trying to sound like your parents. I also want them to live OFF ONLINE LEARNING, because school is basically what makes you who you are. How do you make friends if you're not at school? It is a pain for the people that like to SLEEP to wake up every morning early, but being at school and socializing is VERY IMPORTANT. One way to make my grandchildrens world better, little by little, is maybe to be a staff member at a school. Another way I could help encourgage a world with less internet and more time in the real world is to invite friends over and spend less time on electronics myself, especially after quarantine is over. The Internet and technology is good and useful but we need to learn not to overuse it.

Hi Lexi,

You give me great hope for the future of the world. Why? Because even though you are young, you are very wise. You understand the need for balance between the use of technology and real relationship. You expressed many things that I feel NOW. It is not ideal to be doing school and life "remote".

If you do choose to beome a teacher you will be wonderful.

Happy Almost Last Week of School!

If I ever have grand children I will want them to be sort of wealthy but not like Donald Trump because I don't want them to get robbed. I want them to do the same thing that I want to do and either be a pro gamer that does wagers and wins a lot, or be a Youtuber. I hope that they can have better equipment to do it and can stream on 2080p instead of 1080. I can just do what I want to do to make that happen for them.

Hello Noah,

My hunch is technology will definitely be more advanced by the time your grandchildren are born. It is a pretty safe "bet" that their equipment will be better than your current gaming equipment. Perhaps you will create more advanced technology for that to happen.

Sincerely,
Mr. Reid

For my future great-grandchildren, I want them to live the best life they can. I would hate to have to see them go through what we have in the past 1-2 years. I want them to be the best people, students, friends, and potentially siblings they can be. They should live their lives to the fullest. I don’t necessarily want them to follow in my footsteps because they should get to be who they want to be. But for sure I would recommend PCMS! :) I hope the world is thriving during that generation. I hope everything just goes as smoothly as possible and there won’t be any problems. I wish that they can live life everyday like it’s the last, because you never know what’s going to come next. Like one day is totally normal and the next changes your life for a long period of time. Another thing I would like my future great-grandchildren to know is to never take life for granted because you never know when it’s going to switch opposite directions.

Dear Grace,

You sure understand and grasp how important it is for your future offspring to live each day of their lives to the fullest as if every day was their last. You have been through so much at such a tender age. Your blog is full of wisdom way beyond your years. Your desires for your future offspring are really beautiful.

You are a great example of someone who is living through great hardship but has a great wisdom about life and what is important.

Sincerely,

I want my great grandkids to have a nice house and go to the same school I went to which is PCMS. I want them to go to PCMS because it is a great school. It is the best school I have ever gone to. I also want them to actually go to school not online school because when you are online you could do school anytime but when you are not on online school you have to be at school on time. I would want more things for them but there are way too many. That is what I want for my grandkids.

Some of my dreams for my great-grandchildren and their generation are that they will live in a much less polluted world, where it’s everyone’s responsibility to care for each other. I hope that when I have great grandchildren, people are more concerned with kindness and that they think taking care of the world is cooler than taking selfies. I hope that people work together as communities, all over the world, to make sure no one goes hungry, to care for the animals around them, and to leave the places they visit even better than they found then.

To help make this happen for them, I can take part in groups that are already trying to make the world less polluted, and promote the groups so that other people know about them and can do the same. I can practice kindness in my life, now and as I grow up, and work on taking care of people and animals around me. Helping to end hunger or pollution all over the world is a pretty large task for one person, but I can start small, in my own area, and join others who are doing the same in their areas.

When I have a great grandchild I want their life to be normal. I hope they are born and raised in paradise just as I was and I hope that they live a great life without having to worry about world pandemics like the Coronavirus and without having to worry about air pollution or climate change. I would also want them to go to PCMS because it’s a great school. I’m sure tech would be their main focus but I just hope they aren't too engaged in it. To give them a great life I will go to college and get a good job so I can save up for when i retire to help provide for them and help pay for things like college and things they might need in the future. I just hope my great grandchildren do good in life.

My dreams for my grandchildren and children and more generations is to have them do whatever they want to do for their life like what they want to work for or where they want to go to school. But I will never let them do anything bad to themselves. My hope for them is that they should remember me or know me and I hope they can have a good school or life. Or if the world in the future is crazy with so much technology like flying cars etc, I don't know what there could be in the future and whatever there is I hope they live good.

If I have grandchildren I would want them to have an amazing life to see them smile and laugh. I would never wish for them to go through what all of us are going through. I want them to be able to see their friends every day, make even more memories with them and help my grandchildren learn how to see that they can take the things and people they love forganted so they know that it all can be gone in a second. I would want them to pass that down for generations and generations and I would want them to share my story out of all of this chaos. To see that anything could happen but also all bad things can come to an end and how I got through it. I'm not going to be that grandmother who chooses their path in life or where they go to school or what town they live in. All I would want for my generations is to have a good and fun life.

When I’m a great grandmother I hope my great grandchildren will live in a world with peace and health of our planet. I hope they have cures for the diseases we have today that don’t have cures. I hope they never have to miss out on learning and spending important time with friends and teachers because of diseases. I hope the planet heals so we don’t have natural disasters so they don’t have to go through all the loss that we’ve had to endure in losing our homes and town. I hope that our political leaders learn to work together for the good of the people of the United States and the world. Ultimately, I hope my great grandchildren live their best life, whatever that may look like for them. I hope they have the choice to be who they want to be without judgment.

If I had great grandchildren I don't want them to have to deal with the corona virus. I don't want them to have to deal with them staying at home, have to do school work at home, and don't get to go outside. It is hard living in a metal box and it being hot all the time. I just realized that the answer I just wrote doesn't make the question. Oops. bye.

My wildest dreams for my great grandchildren are to have a better future with dreams. I don't want them to have a future where it’s sad and they don't want to better something with a dream. I also want them to have a place they can live forever without moving because if they have to constantly keep moving it's hard. I want them to make friends on their street or remember the great memories in just one house. I also want my great grandchildren to have good grades and not fail because if they don't have good grades and learn certain stuff how will they learn how to pay taxes, bills or have a good job. The last thing I want my great grandchildren to have is video games and lots of happiness because video games are one of the things kids need and happiness because you don't want a kid who’s always angry.

If I ever have Great Grandchildren I want them to be a good person and do some sort of cause in the world. Like be a scientist and work on a cure for Cancer or help with world hunger. It would be super cool if they invented something like a hover-car or something like that. It would be amazing if they inspired other people to help with a world cause like pollution.

I want my grandchildren to group and be like me. My greatest hopes for what their lives and world would be is helping people, and having a great life, and also seeing things that I haven't even seen, and also I want them to not have to go through natural dassasters like today with the corona virus and the campfire. I could help them with this by maybe telling them about my life, and giving them goood advice.

My wildest dreams for my great grandchildren is for them to appreciate everything in life and to live life to the fullest. I also want my great grandchildren to be good children and to be respectful to others. I want my great grandchildren to embrace their culture and love who they are. I think embracing their culture is important because I think people tend to forget where they come from and I want them to be proud to be who they are. I want my great grandchildren to never focus on what others think of them and instead think about what makes them who they are and what makes them truly beautiful. I want my great grandchildren to live a successful life and for their world not to have as much things going on as the world has now. I also hope they don’t have to go through all the things I've gone through in the past couple of years. Honestly, I just want my great grandchildren to be happy and love who they are.

I haven't really thought about that yet but now that I have been thinking about it. I want them to have a great life and a good neighborhood and then get to be kids and not worry about anything. I also want them to have someone to tell her friends about like my grandpa was a professional sports player or my grandpa was so and so something like that. I can make that happen by working hard and sticking to my goals.

What do I want for my great grandchildren? Well first I hope that in their generation technology doesn’t actually take over. It may seem like a joke that can’t actually happen but it can. It is actually very likely that it will happen. Anyway I want them to have nice lives and stuff, but I really hope that they will be professional trampolinists, of course only if they want to. I wouldn’t want to force them into doing it, I just hope that when they get introduced to it they like it and want to keep doing it. I’m hoping that they will be able to win gold medals in trampolining in the olympics. I can help make that happen by teaching my kids how to be professionals and then so on. That is what I want for my great grandkids.

This is hard because none of us know what the future will look like. Will we have flying cars? Will the plant be a lifeless wasteland? No one knows. But say the future has like flying cars. I would want my great grandchildren to be the ones to make those flying cars. That means they were smarter than everyone else who couldn’t wrap their head around how to make flying cars.
