I want 'to be” the Guinness World Record holder for scaling the most buildings in a single bound. I want 'to be” a loving and loyal friend. I want 'to be” appreciated for my intelligence, and not just my body. I want 'to be” someone who uses my power for good and never evil. I want 'to be” appreciative always of those who choose a life of service. I want 'to be” my daughter's best friend forever. I want 'to be” known as the greatest author of all times.
