Saturday Julian, Thomas and I went to Rudyk park. we were playing basketball.

if icould have any power it would be the power to time travel to the future and back in time
it will be so awsome to do something like that! imagine, you do something bad in school. And then you just go back in time to stop yourself from doing it.i would be able to go back to the good old day. i could also use my powers to go into the future to see myself. and i would probably would use my powers to see my dead family meembers again.
