Film Transcript
In the future, I would like to have a house, a happy life and books galore. I would like to work in it because I think I would work well from computers.
In the future, I would like to go to Italy. Some of my family comes from there. I would visit the Pantheon. I would eat in local restaurants. I would visit the coliseum. I would toss a coin in the Trev Fountain. After that, I would go to Vatican City to view Michelangio's artwork at the Cyine Chapel.
In the future, I want to get a job that can help me help my family so that I can provide for my family. I want to give back to them because they've given me so much.
When I was young, I thought the world would be more futuristic, like flying cars and fridges that give you anything. In the future, I would like to go to Spain and experience the culture: flamnco guitar and dancing. I would like to see Gaudi's Cathedral in Balona.
In the future, I would like to become an engineer. I like making things with my hands. I would like to keep dancing; I like to break dance. In the future, I would like to go to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. I would like to see spider monkeys and the sloths.
In the future, I want to get married and have a family. I would like two children. I would like to buy a car like John and John Lennon and Yoko owned and drove in the song the bell of John and Yoko. I think it was a old Rolls-Royce.
In the future, I would like to go to London and record a song by the Beatles. I would also like to get a job at Abiro Studio.
When I went to KI, I saw adults as bossy, tall people who would always yell, and I didn't think that they were important. But I found out that they were really actually really kind and they helped me when I was upset or when I needed them the most, even when I would do naughty things. But really, all that was a blur, and I don't remember much about getting my first girlfriend.
My dream job back then was to be a police officer or a famous YouTuber. The reason I wanted to be a police officer was that I wanted to be a superhero or a super soldier like Captain America. But now I just want to be a lead guitarist in my very own metal band, the Death Knights. If that doesn't come true, I would love to become a cook. Like every job, I must own it, and it won't come easy.
My parents and the people around me are my biggest supporters. Just remember that the people who care and love you the most are your biggest supporters always.
