What would you do with 1 Million Dollars?

A few weeks ago, the R.B.C. Centurion Bank held a essay contest at Southside Elementary School, and Natalie entered. The topic was, "If you had one million dollars, what would you do with it?" Here is what she wrote:

If you had one million dollars, what would you do with it? Well, I would donate some to the homeless and I would save some for when I go to college.

Donating money to the homeless is a great way to show your kindness, I'd buy clothes and gifts on Christmas for their families. Once when I went to summer camp, our camp leader had a surprise for us. He took us to a place where homeless people live. He told us to get any old shoes or new shoes and bring them in a bag. We gave shoes to the younger kids, the older kids, and the adults. We also bought some food and knocked on every door and we surprised them with some nice good food. We made them so happy they all hugged us. It feels so good to help the homeless!

When I have some money left, I'll save it for when I get older and get into a good college. I plan to go to Harvard or Princeton, but I know they're hard to get in, so I'm trying to work hard in all the schools I go to, to get straight A's which so far I'm successful with. When I get into college, I need to buy my books, pencils, and a backpack. I would also buy some of the latest technology, like the latest laptop. I plan to get a very suitable room for my roommate and I.

In conclusion I would like to say that giving money to the homeless and saving some money for college are the best choices to chose if I had one million dollars!
