1. The Little Secretary
Two weeks ago, I told kids at school to write an essay titled “If I Were a Millionaire.”
Everyone was writing, except a girl who leaned back with arms folded.
“What’s the matter,” I asked. “Why aren’t you writing?”
“I’m waiting for my secretary,” she replied.
Scored her 10/10.
2. True Wealth
Two weeks ago, I assigned my students an essay titled “If I Were a Millionaire.” The class immediately bent over their papers, pencils moving quickly with dreams of luxury cars, big houses, and vacations. But one girl sat calmly with her arms folded, staring out the window.
I approached her and gently asked, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you writing?”
She looked at me with quiet confidence and said, “I’m just thinking… because I already feel rich, and I want to explain it the right way.”
Curious, I encouraged her to continue. When I read her essay later, the opening line stopped me in my tracks:
“I wouldn’t change much if I were a millionaire, because I already have everything that makes my heart full.”
She wrote about her mother who wakes up early to prepare breakfast with a smile, her father who walks her to school every single day, and her little brother who runs to hug her when she comes home. She said their home isn’t big, but it is full of laughter, shared meals, and bedtime stories that make her feel loved, safe, and valued.
