If I didn't have to worry about money, I would just spend time with the people I care about. Doesn't really matter where or what we will do, it could be traveling or something as simple as going to the zoo or beach or even the movie theaters. I'm a simple guy who enjoys spending time with people I care about such as my girlfriend, friends, and family.

I want to work with law enforcement such as a cop or sheriff and put away drug dealers, gang members, and other potential dangerous people that can harm the innocent in society. I want to help society, but I want to punish people too, it seems more fun to me.

My cause would simply be help keeping the streets safe so that my future kid(s) can grow up in a better and safer society.

We have similar interests in mind! What I will most likely be majoring in is Sociology, Law and Society in college. It is important for kids to stay off the streets and it is crucial to protect the ones who are not capable of protecting themselves. So aside from joining the Peace Corps, I would probably work in the field of law enforcement as well! Alike, I would want to spend as much time with the people I love and care about!

This is great because I would also just want to relax and spend time with my loved ones. No matter what I would also want to provide the best for them. I would also like to enforce the laws and make sure gangs are not allowed anymore. I would try to teach them the right morals and make sure they grow a heart. I want to make the world a safer place because with everything that I hear on the news about raping and kidnapping, it really worries me about the future.

The working part is really great because he would actually work with law enforcement if money isn't matter. This is great how he would work to put away drug dealers, gang members and dangerous people. Of course, it might happens only if money is not a concern, but it is still indeed a good idea to have.

We think alike. I'm also a simple guy and think that caring about someone is something that people really appreciate. Caring for someone can be helping them on simple things like help cleaning someones yard or painting a house. Their are many ways to care for someone, we just have to take the time to show it.

If I did not have to worry about money, the first thing I would want to do is travel the world. I would tour Europe and go to the main tourist attractions but also spend time staying there and get a feel for the atmosphere of each place I visit. I would also go to Australia and spend time on the beaches and scuba dive in their coral reefs. I would go to Australia and visit the Animal reserves and go on safari's. I would travel almost anywhere and everywhere just to see all the different places.
I would spend my time working with animals. I would either work with marine life or exotic life. I'm not exactly sure what specifically I'd want to but I would love to be a vet, marine biologist, a keeper or anything else that deals with animals.
I would support any cause that involves taking care of the environment, stop poaching and the killing of animals, promote associations and organizations that help endangered wildlife and anything else along those lines.

I also would love to travel. That is one of the main reasons i am joining the Marine Corps. Your idea of saving animals and stopping animal cruelty is really great. Animals are an important part of our existence. They balance out the population. An extinction of one animal could lead to an overpoplutaion of another and just create a big mess. So, I support this 100%.

Your post makes me think back to my post, because the work I want to do is also charity work for earth and animals. I would also like to see the world, because I feel like traveling really adds to the palette of our lives. I also want to experience different cultures in the world.

1.If I did not have to worry about money, I would travel. I believe that we are all in just in tiny bubbles; so unless we go out and experience the world outside our tiny bubbles, we wouldn’t know what the world is really like. I would want to travel to open up my mind and make me look at things in different perspectives. I really do think that traveling to other places and living like how others do will allow me to not just look at what is in front of me, but it will make me pay attention to all my surroundings.

2.If money was not an issue and I did not have to work, I would join the Peace Corps. I would really love to travel overseas, especially when it is for a cause that would change people’s lives. Even if I had to work and even if money was an issue for me, I will join the Peace Corps one day.

3.Like the answer above, I would join the Peace Corps. Aside from that, I would try to fundraise for charities and other causes. Even though money wouldn’t be an issue for me, I am positive that money is a tremendous issue for others.

If I have all the money I need, I would chose to travel around the world too. I think knowing and understanding others who also live on this planet will make me better understand who I want to be. And I love how you believe that we live in bubbles. Maybe by traveling, the bubbles will add up to give a brand new perspective.

Gary H., Per. 1

I would probably do somewhat the same one day as well! I just think it's a really good idea to step into a whole other world and be in someone else's shoes. To be able to see the things they had to go through everyday, whilist we live in "luxury" in America.

1. if I did not have to worry about money I would donate alote of money to 3 organizations that make me appreciate what i have and whom I have I my life. teen pregnancy , medical care and child abuse.

2.I would help people. people no matter how independent and stubborn need help and i want to be the one who helps.

3.the first would be to help teen moms in ways other organizations have not like helping to provide daycare and a place to stay. Second to help those with cancer pay for medical attention or overdue bills and the third would go to children that have different stories but are all alone, tired hungry and in need of help.

i would do all of this in a way where people feel connected to me were i can connect to the people and feel good while doing it not just good because i did it.

If I did not have to worry about money, I would give the money to children stricken with poverty and hunger, all over the world, I see advertisement so often that I actually want to help that cause. I’m lucky to have a home and food but those children need it more.

I want to work as an accountant; mostly it’s best type of career for my introverted personality. I love working with data, and sometimes lack skills when speaking to people. I’m not the best but great at it.

The cause I would support is actually more than one, to stop child hunger and poverty, fund education throughout the nation even the world if possible, stop global warming (one-day we will be at the point of no return), and stop human trafficking.

Some of these causes, may or may not be possible, but if we can’t save them all, save the most we can do.

We both have the same interest in helping children who needs help. We can both start a program that help them.I believe we can make a difference in a child's life. Instead of starting something big, we can start with donating the money we use to buy useless items to them. Then, we can start something big. For example, we go around asking for donation from companys and use the money to build a houses and pay for education. This is getting me excited. Let's make this happen!

We always hear about how bad it is in other countries, but it's hard to even fathom what they go through. It isn't until we actually see something that we realize how lucky we are. I do want to help out with children stricken with poverty and hunger, but I can't help but think that I'd be more giving for the sake of giving, rather than giving for the realization at how bad their situation really is.

Also, funnily enough I have the same personality as you, which is actually why I plan to work with computers.

1. If I did not have to worry about money I would want to start projects that would help further mankind. For example, finding new resources, research/develop new technology and find new sources of fuel. I recently read an article in Yahoo! saying that there were plans to harvest resources from meteorites. This is very expensive, but if successful, less resources will be taken from Earth, meaning the planet could last longer. I've also been interested in how fast technology is getting despite people's fears of how technology is becoming too advanced.

2. I would still want to work with technology, but my field would be less narrow. Ideally I would work with computer programming, but I if money were no object I could learn other areas and perhaps help out people in that way.

3. I would help out with people that have autism. I strangely find myself identifying myself with them sometimes, so I would like to help them out.

I would like to help with those projects that further mankind! I am interested in using technology to find sustainable ways of living, even if it means getting resources from asteroids or finding new sources of green fuel. Since we wouldn't need to worry about money, we could devote all our time to researching, but I think that might become tedious.

1 If I did not have to worry about money, I would voluntary at Red Cross to help people who are in poverty that needs health counseling or any treatment and take more health related classes to better enhance my knowledge to better assists them.
2. I would like to work for the Red Cross. I want to be the person who travels to other needy countries such as Africa to help children who suffer from diseases. I want to be part of a team that make them smile.
3. I want to see everyone free of disease and smile. I would use my name to get other billionaires to contribute some of their money to help them.

Ann Y, Period 1

4/29/2012 07:41:26 am

Besides asking billionaires to contribute some of their money, you should persuade them to go over there to help care for these children. By doing so, they will understand how much these children are suffering.

Ryan Kan, Period 1

5/4/2012 12:28:02 am

Helping people is such a great thing to do. I believe a lot of people out there would like to help people and volunteer at Red Cross too. Of course, in reality, most people did give up this fantastic idea for living, but we can still see that people love helping each other out.

1. If I didn't have to worry about money, I would be traveling the world. I would visit every part of the world from the richest sides to the more poorer sides.

2. I want to be a photographer. Like Nikki Sixx, i want to take pictures of the "freaks" and what people portray as ugly. I want to make people realize that everything is beautiful, no matter what they actually look like, because if you think about it were all "freaks" in our own ways. I want to start up my own clothing line and donate some of the money to organizations.

3. I would help the teens and young adults that are facing depression and that are suicidal because i know how it feels like. I've seen friends like that and it would be an amazing feeling if you were able to save someone.

2. i want to be sports broadcaster on ESPN. I love to talk about sports like baseball and basketball. i could talk about those sports all day long. I won't be tired talking about it.

3. Being a sports broadcaster on ESPN, getting my name out to the sports world and the rest world, i would be able to set up charities to help the need.

1. If I don't have to worry about money, then I guess I don't have to worry about school much either. With a lightened heart, I think I can concentrate more of my time on things I am interested in like traveling around the world, learning and playing expensive instruments like piano (not because of a good resume buildup but because I want to. It would be so great just to say that!), and fund programs to explore the universe and better understand the current situation we are in (Are we still living in an ever expanding universe or will it start contracting backward?).

2. With all the money I will ever need, I do not think I need to work anymore. I do believe that a lot of people work not because they want to but because the society requires people to earn money by doing work that will be considered useless in the objective sense when viewed by the universe or an alien. So instead of routine work like most people's jobs, I would like to use my time learning and searching for ways to understand myself and the world I live in, like a philosopher and a scientist combined into one.

3. I would serve my own causes. I care about the environment so I will fund programs to clean up the pollution. I care about traveling around easily (instead of waiting all the time for buses) so I will build more public transportation to ease the car use of Los Angeles......

[NOW DIGRESSING(just random food for random thoughts)]
Thinking back, all these causes are man made. If people are concerned about the environment during the industrial ages, we may not be trying so hard to fix the air quality. If people all agreed on efficient transportation systems, then we may never be needing so many cars per family. I sometimes wonder why everyone have to pay the price for ancestor's says and acts. (One frustrating example would be the fact that most people in ancient times adopted Aristotle's view that women are inferior. So now here we are thousands of years later, still trying to find equality.)

I like that you would choose not to have a routined life. But instead, you want to find ways to know yourself better. I think more people should be like that because a lot of times they focus on school and getting good grades or making money all the time that those things take over their lives and they lose themselves.

1. If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do with your time?
I would spend my time helping people in need, such as third world countries that aren't as lucky as us. The things they need are things we can provide and I want to do all I can to help.

2. What kind of work would you want to do?
I would want to do volunteer work in those third world countries. It would be nice to experience a new environment and also helping others while I'm there.

3. What cause would you serve and why?
I would want to serve third world countries, such as Africa because they lack many things that first world countries can provide. I want to help raise the standard of living to the level that we are able to live at.

This makes me think about all of the help from charities who have made a huge difference in third world countries in the past few years. It is important to think about others and get them on the same track as we are. Third world countries should have better living conditions before we spend all of are money on material goods.

If I didn't have to worry about money, I would travel. I know that having a lot of money and having no worries is a big responsibility to have but I think you should make the best of it and use that time to learn more about life outside of your comfort zone (mine being Monterey Park). I think being able to travel will open my eyes, as it did with Blake Mycoskie. The CEO of TOMS went to Argentina and saw that a lot of kids couldn't afford shoes which made life hard for them. It turned his life around because now he is a very successful, well known, and helpful man. I'm not saying I will become like Blake Mycoskie if i travel, but I think it will open my eyes to more things in life. I will be able to experience different cultures and get out of Monterey Park.

If I didn't have to worry about money, I think I would like to work on a movie set. I'm not saying I want to be a famous actress and be in front of the camera but I think it would be fun to go behind the scenes of your favorite movies or TV shows. I will get the chance to meet many famous and influential people and have fun at the same time because I enjoy watching television and film.

Recently, I did a 30 Hour Famine with my church and it was a great experience. A group of highschoolers fasted together for 30 hours and tried to raise money for people who were starving in third world countries. We worshipped together and prayed for those in need. I thought it was a really humbling experience to be able to see what many people in the world are going through. So I thinkt he cause I would serve is to help the hungry by raising awareness, fundraising, and praying for them.

I have never famined before but I know a lot of people who have. It's a real challenge to not eat because everyone needs to eat.

If I didn't have to worry about money, I would dedicate my time helping those in need. The world right now has a lot of problems that need solving that range from ending world hunger to getting people off the street.

The job I would take is a social worker. The reason being is that they give hope to those that have given up and dedicate their time in helping people grow as individuals.

The cause I serve is to make the world a better place to live in.Although it may seem rather broad at first, there are multiple ways to start. For instance, serving the community. By the time I leave this world, I want to able to look back and say that I did something.

If I did not have to worry about money, I would go work for people with a good cause. If I had money and did not need to worry about it I would use the money somehow to make the world a better place.

I want to be a doctor to cure people from diseases. I do not like watching people suffer in any way. Pain and misery is not a pretty sight.

I would serve a cause that is logical and is not stupid. I would serve any cause that helps the world with a great impact.

2. I would want to research virtual reality and find a way to produce an online virtual reality game. I would also work on other interesting projects with others.

1. If i did not have to worry about money, i would spend most of my time doing things that woould cost a fortune to do. Like travel, going to school for free, not having to pay for things my parents are struggling with. I would spend most of my time taking advantage of my oppurtunity of not having to worry about money.

2. I would want to become a musician or be involved with music. My whole life has revolved around music and it is the one thing i use to express myself. When i'm angry i will bang on some drums. When i'm feeling lonely or depressed i would sing my heart out. Or when i'm in a mellow mood i would play some guitar. No matter how i'm feeling i think music solves my problems and helps me release.

3. I would want to be able to influence so many people. Today, many people are influenced by singers, musicians, entertainers, etc. in a good or bad way. I would want to help people who are feeling like they are alone in whatever situation they're in. I would like to relate to people in they only way i can and a powerful way. I want them to see many famous celebrities as just regular people. If most people would see that most celebrities face the same problems as they do then it would end the idolizing and chaos that surrounds that. Which would help people become more understanding that no one is better than anybody else, in fact Albert Einstein said "everyone is a genuis, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it would live its whole life believing that it is a tree."

I really hope that one day I will hear you on the radio! I believe that music is so important to everyone and in a world where connection is often succumbed by technology, music can become a man's best friend. Children listen to lullabies, teenagers drown their parents out with their headphones, and grandparents listen to oldies. Music is a universal connection!

Leon H. Period 1

1. If I didn't have to worry about money, I think I would travel the world. It's cool to see how other people from different parts of the world are like. You can learn so much from other cultures and their traditions.

2. I would want to give people advice. Something close to a psychologist. I think its interesting to see what other people go through and how they react to it. People react differently to situations.

3. I would want to serve people in need of help. I think i would serve best helping high school students. After going through it myself, i think i could offer help with people that are struggling because high school is a hard time in everyone's life.

If money wasn't a concern, my time would be spent helping poverty around the world. I would also travel around the world to see the world with my own eyes, and to Milan to attend fashion shows. I would also splurge at Sephora, and other makeup counters.

2. What kind of work would you want to do?
I would attend Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, and other luxury designer fashion shows, because it has always been a interest. I would also want to be a makeup artist like Lisa Eldrige and a Stylist like Rachael Zoe.

3. What cause would you serve and why?
My perspective of creating beauty with fashion and makeup brings out someones beauty that they've always acquired and it gives them confidence and bliss.

This is great! Not everyone thinks like this. Since everything is given to us because technology is so high-teched nowadays, everyone overuses it and takes advantage of it. I was watching the Lorax movie and it really motivated me to always value our trees, animals, and always recycle because without these things, our planet Earth will just become trash and empty.

You are right, this is always in the back of my mind ,and I want to advise how we have abused the main factors that are keeping us afloat.

2. I would provide recycling bins for schools. These recycling bins are not only used for recycling bottles, but also for recycling the things we use in school, such as trays, milk cartons, and old paper works. After these are collected, schools can bring them to recycling centers to recycle for money. The schools can use these money to provide more neccessities, such as books and musical instruments, for their school.

3. I want to promote people all around the world to help plant trees, recycle, and stop polluting the environment because we are the causes to all the pollution in the world.

I really hope that people around the world feel the same way of going green, help the planet thrive rather destroying it slowly bit by bit, I feel the same way on how we human are the reason of pollution, for every tree cut down a new one should be planted, no, one tree cut down, multiple trees should be planted

Amy Wen, Period 2

In this decade, many trees and plants are being cut down due to reforestation of natural forests to form environments suitable for humans to live in. However, destroying forests harms the ecosystem and destroys food for us. Promoting recycling and planting plants in our cities can show citizens how important our ecosystem is and how bad it would be if humans lived in a world without plants.

1. If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do with your time?
Last year, I spent my summer in Paris. Paris was a gorgeous escape, the language spoke sensually to my senses, coating my mind with culture I only imagined in books or movies. Paris fascinated me. Busy and bustling, yet still quaint. Modern and chic, yet filled with so many monuments and landmarks of its grand history. Cliché and commercial, yet still unbelievably charming. Nothing could compare,and I think my life's journey is to find something that can compare. So if I didn't have to worry about the money,I would be halfway across the world riding camels through the Himalayas, sailing on gondolas through Florence, and sipping on tea in London.
2. What kind of work would you want to do?
I think I would want to be involved in something where people can connect. In a world where we value wealth and luxuriousness, we often forget how important relationships are. I'm not trying to describe a dating service or public relations, but something bigger. I want to help people find there happiness.

3. What cause would you serve and why?
Growing up in Los Angeles, the epicenter of fame, I've always wanted to get rich and leave Monterey Park as fast as I can. This year, through all the college applications and Ms. Sutton's inspirational topics of discussion, I think I want to do something worth wild. I don't think I'm going to start my own TOMS company or turn criminals into football players, but hopefully something along those lines.

I think your ideology of helping others find happiness is very nice of you. I mean, everyone nowadays are so depressed with themselves that they fail to see the true beauty within themselves. If you ever opened your own TOMS, i'd probably support your cause, Linda.

2. I would be the boss of a free restaurant. I would like to share all kind of food in the world in this restaurant, let everyone can taste the most delicious food in the world.

3. I would provide free care program and going green program. The earth is dying, we need more recycle, reuse thoughts. People in the lower income level might not afford the payment of medical program. I might help a bit by giving them free care

1. If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do with your time?
If I didn't have to worry about money, I would go around the world and try to help people that need help for example if they have no food or shelter, or if they are being treated like they are not a human being. Since I am doing this, I would also be traveling around the world so it is a win-win situation. I would help people but at the same time experience different cultures and traditions while feeling good about myself for doing this kind of work.

2. What kind of work would you want to do?
I would want to provide help to people who are in need. I would want to still pursue in my education and get my degrees so people will know that I am useful. I would try and pursue my education in the medical field so I can feel that I accomplished something since I really wanted to do this and not give up even though it may sound hard.

3. What cause would you serve and why?
The cause I would serve is that I would help them maintain their health and see if anyone is in need of anything like food, clothes, or a home. I want to make other people feel happy and content with their life. I don't really like seeing people suffer.

2. The kind of work I'd like to do would involve massive use of my imagination. I'd want to write and illustrate comic books or design t-shirts that incorporate pop culture references.

3. I would serve the cause of the starving artists, because it is a real thing. Not having to worry about money would create a community of artists that are freed of competition and pressure, allowing them to create for each other in an environment full of support from their peers.

1. If I did not have to worry about money, then I would do three things that are important to me. First, I would spend time traveling around the world and visiting my family in the US and Canada a lot more often. Second, I would also buy my parents a big retirement home to make all of their hard work worth it. And third, I would donate my money to the End 7 charity to end child hunger.

2. I want to own my own bakery or restaurant one day. I am planning to major in hospitality management and work in the food industry.

1. I would help people out with computer problems because there are a lot of people who do not know much about computers.

2. I would like to create a computer store where I can help people with their computer problems and then educate them about computers.

3. This would raise the public's knowledge of computers and would help them save money. They will know, to a certain extent, what problems their computers might have.

Maria C, period 1

This really made me realize how many times a year that I meet someone who is uneducated about computers.

It is important in the decade to have computer knowledge to save the environment and time.

2. What kind of work would you want to do?
Probably something that would change the world, it may seem childish, but it's very important that people understand that peace is the best thing to achieve. I as a pacifist, that wars are very childish and there are others way to resolve conflicts other than fight.

3. What cause would you serve and why?
I would probably support an organization that promotes pacifism. I believe that conflicts can be solved by a simple exchange of words rather than actions. Some wars could have been avoided if people decided to talk instead of having bloodshed.

If I don't have to worry about money, I would think of ideas on how I should blow all my money onto my computer. With more time and money, I could travel around the world documenting how harsh life is in different countries. It would help bring attention and hopefully it will bring a better future.

I would like to enter the business management work field. I believe I have the mentality to be successful. I can see myself as the CEO of some industrial company.

I would help with Vietnam's economy because it still needs a lot of work and effort to boost up their economy. My family came from Vietnam and I feel the need to help the place my whole family came from.

1. Far too often, people would choose to live a certain lifestyle or do things just because of monetary reasons. For example, many parents would push their children to spend most of their time on education or trying to maximize their potential to pursue the best college to achieve a wealthy lifestyle in the future. If I didn’t have to worry about money, I would travel and explore new places, learn about studies that actually interest me instead of hopes of utilizing it in the future for my future job, and definitely maximize my leisure time.
2. The work I would do would probably become an actress. I always wanted to play a role as a scary girl in a horror movie. I wanted the life of an actress.
3.The cause I would serve would probably be the Pediatric Trauma Prevention Program. As a key club member and officer that fundraised money for this cause, I grew to become devoted in it.

The things I would do if I didn't have to worry about money is to compose and arrange choral music, and singing the work I'm creating. The work I love to do is to be a composer for choral music.

If money was not an object, I would spend my time with the people I care about the most. Life is too short to be worrying only about finacnes anyways; what I may lack in money, I would make up for in healthy friendships. I would spend my time learning about my interests and would spend part of my time devoted to helping others less fortunate than me.

2. What kind of work would you want to do?
Because I would not have to factor in how my job would support my family, I would spend time working the job that I enjoy. If you're doing something you absolutely don't love, it's not worth doing in the first place. I would consider teaching others and giving back to the community

3. What cause would you serve and why?
Though many may believe teaching may not be as noble as donating millions of dollars to charity, I on the other hand, believe it is something much better. Education is priceless and to me, teaching others would be much more valuable to others than money.

One thing I would do for my family is to take my mom and dad back to where they came from to see their friends and family they lost contact with. Another thing I would do if I didn’t have to worry about money would be setting up a program who would be willing to travel with me to different parts of the world to help build homes for those in need and give them necessities to survive. I would also help those that are suffering from diseases.

2. I haven’t really thought about what I would want to be when I get older but I would want to spend my time working with people. I want to be able to change someone’s life in a positive way.

Find out their story and just give a random person money. Make someones day by buying them flowers. Go to any in need of money and give them enough to furnish a room. Feed the poor and finance in third world countries. I feel that we loose track of whats most important because of the influence of money. Family, memories, and life taking moments. Appreciation and self respect are also lost. Honestly I would reach out to doctors all over the world and help them help others. Fly off to the other part of the world and help their economy. Help them industrialize and catch up to the fast growing economy.
