If you could move objects with your mind it would make life a lot easier for five different reasons. 1. If you needed to get something, but you didn’t want to go and get it, or if it would take up too much time to go and get it you could just make the object come to you. 2. If you had lost something and you needed it, you could make it come to you. People would then always have everything they need. 3. If you really, really, really wanted something, but for whatever reason you couldn’t get it you could make it appear in right in front of you. 4. If parents or teachers needed their kids to stop playing with things or to come to them, but the kids weren’t listening, the adults could just make the thing the kid was playing with, or the kid come to them. 5. If you completely forgot something important, you could make it come to you so you don’t have to worry.

Being able to move things with my mind would make my life easier by bringing things to me while I'm sick like water, food , and medicine. I could move my backpack to come to me so I can do my homework. It could come in handy if i dropped my spoon on the floor and my chair was tucked in tight too much so i could move the spoon back to me. It could be also resourceful if i needed to carry something really heavy like a cinderblock for example i could just hold it easily not getting hurt like dropping it on my foot or something that would hurt. Last of all you can be a good citizen and help a old lady get her cat from a tree or helping someone who plays basketball get the ball out of a tree.

My life would be easier by moving things with my mind because I wouldn't need to walk to get something. Another reason is that I wouldn't need to reach out my arm. If I wanted to clean up trash the trash would just come to me. I could look at my desk and put my stuff where it should go. The last reason is when I am playing violin I could use my mind to open the case and perhaps take the bow out and put it on your hand for you.

If you could move objects with your mind life would be easier because you wouldn't get your hands tired. The first thing is that if you come downstairs but you forget your pencil it would be easy to get it with your mind, wouldn't that be easier and awesome. If you were stuck and something was falling on you, you could deflect it with your brain, it would save your life. You could also get your parking ticket with your mind if you dropped it. If you need to hold a lot of things you could easily carry it with your brain. If your really cold you could shut the door with your brain. It would be some to move objects worn your mind but it makes you really lazy

If I could move objects with my mind, it would come in handy for many reasons. Here are five examples. First, when I wake up and my alarm goes off, I can use mind control to hit the snooze button. Then I wouldn’t have to get up, and I could sleep in. Second, in school, if someone was about to fall at recess, I could pick the person up using mind control. That way nobody would get hurt. Third, when the teacher is talking, and I am not focusing, I can use mind control to wake me up, and remind me that I am at school and I need to pay attention. Fourth, when my sister is being annoying, and I want to play a trick on her, I could move a chair up and say that a ghost is doing it. That would be funny. Lastly, if I am tired and I need to brush my teeth, I could maybe bring my toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and the sink to me. That way, I don’t have to get up and I can stay in bed. Having mind control would be a fun power to have.

I think picking up a person with mind control would be a safer way to play and have lots of fun on the yard while being safe. You would also do a good deed by picking up the person.

If I could move stuff with my mined it would come in handy. Here are 5 ways that mine control can come in handy. One way is if you have a five story house and you forgot your pencil you have to go all the way up and all the way down. So if you had mine control you wouldn't have to get up you just control it with your mind. A second way is when you go to bed and you are in a great position and you forgot to put your music on and you don't want to get up you can just use you mind and turn it on. The third way is you do the dishes and you don't want to do it, you can use your mind to do it. That is what I really want. The fourth way is when your mother says to make your dinner you can use your mind to make the best dinner ever! The last way is when your hands hurt because you are putting pressure on you controler for video games you can use your mind and give your hands a rest. Also mind control can be hard because when you are thinking a math problem and numbers are floating.That is annoying!!! Mind control would be FUN!!!!!!!!,!

If I could move objects with my mind, it would come in handy in a lot of ways. Let me tell you five examples. First, in the morning I could make my breakfast come to me in bed. That way I don't have to wake up early in the morning. Second, when my brother is annoying I could use mind control to scare him at night to make him belive that monsters are real. That would be a dream come true. Third, in school, at recess when someone was mean to someone else I could go in to their mind and make them apologize to that person and I would change them. Fourth, when I am too lazy to clean my room I could go into my brothers mind and make him clean my room for me. This way I can watch TV and get credit for work that isn't mine. Finally, if my mom is mad at me for something, I could do a mind trick to make her forget about it. This way I would never get in trouble. Now I really wish that I could move objects with my mind.

If I could I could move things with my mind, my life would be easier. Here are 5 good examples I’d use. First, if I can’t wake up early my mind can wake me up. Second, if someone of somebody was going to get hurt I would slow time and I could run and catch them. Third, if I forget something at school I can use my mind to make the thing I forgot fly or come to my house or where I am. Fourth, if I was tired in class I would use my mind to make my pencil write and I could be sleeping at the same time. Last, when you are sick or not felling well, I’d use my mind to make me do things and not feel sick. Those are five how I would use mind control if I had it.

If I had a mind control power it would be useful in many ways. It would help me because I would be able to bring my breakfast to bed if I did not want to get out of bed in the morning. It would also come in handy when I need to get to school in the morning because I could bring my clothes, my toothbrush, toothpaste, and water to me so I can get dressed and brush my teeth and leave the house. Next I would use it to pick up the pencil and write if I have to write a lot and my hand hurts. I could also use it to help me in video games if something is challenging and I can't beat it it can pick up a pencil and hit the computer keys to help me. Finally I could use it to type this paragraph and post it on Mrs.Polay's website while I do the rest of my homework. That is how I would use mine control powers if I had them.

If I could move things with my my mind I would be the happiest person on earth. Here are 5 reasons that moving stuff with my mind would be helpful. First of all if I am watching TV I could just bring the remote over to me with my mind. Second of all if something if I need to cary something heavy somewhere I could just move it there with my mind. Third of all,my favorite reason is if I were moving somewhere and I loved my house instead of sobbing all over the place I could move my house with my mind to the new place we lived. Reason number 4 is a good one. My parents would be super happy if they could do this. If I were designing my house and my architect put a tree right on front of my house I could easily move the tree with my mind to where I wanted it to be without paying 40,000 dollars to change it's location. Last but not least reason number 5. If I was really hungry and tired I could just move some milk chocolate cookies over to me with my mind. Moving things with my mind would be the best thing that ever happened to me.But there still are reasons in my mind that I would want to move things with my mind.

If I were able to move objects with my mind it would be very helpful. The fist reason if I'm laying in my bed all relaxed and I wanted food at the same time I could use my mind to get a bag of chips so I don't have to get up from my comfortable spot in bed. Second if I was daydreaming in class I can use my mind to slap me so I would. Be focused on what kind assignment are class was going to do. Third if my my brother was being mean I could make himself fall over so then I'll teach not to be mean to me. The last reason if I wanted to do my hair in the morning and at the same time I was tired I could use my mind to comb my hair and put gel in my hair to make my hair stay like that. I bet it would be nice to have mind control!

Mind control could make my life easier. It would make my life easier because I can can clean my room without moving. Mind control will also help me because if I need to carry something heavy I don't need to carry it. When I want to make a sandwich I can gather the ingredients and make the sandwich with my mind. When I need to do my homework I can pick up the pencil and do my homework without using my hands. If I need to go somewhere immediately and I don't have my drivers license I can move the car with mind control. That is how mind control can help my life.

I think it would be very cool if you could move objects with your mind. Here are five examples of why it would be so cool. The first reason,is that when you are hot and to lazy to get up, you could just use your mind control and turn the fan on. The second reason, is if you are a teacher and you are correcting students' work you could use your mind control to pass out paper, pencils,or any supplies that you would need to pass out. Third, if your brother or sister would not stop crying you could use mind control to give them a piece of candy.[ I added candy because all children love it]. Fourth, when you have to make cake for a party and you are to lazy to do it you could simply use mind control to mix everything into a bowl. Then, put it on a tray. Lastly you would put it in the oven and bake it. My last example of how mind control would be so cool is when you are late to school[which that never happens to anyone because everyone loves school] you could use mind control to get the car to move faster. Mind control would be something that everyone would have fun with.

If I could move things with my mind it would make my life a lot easier. The first way it could make my life easier is if I could move the television remote to me so I wouldn’t have to stand up. The second way it could make my life easier is if I could move the ball into the hoop so that I could make every shot and so that I wouldn’t get as tired as I usually do. The third way it could make my life easier is if I could bring junk food to me so that I don’t get in trouble because my family won’t notice me get the junk food. The fourth way it could make my life easier is if I could type on the computer with my mind so I don’t have to move my fingers. The last and fifth way it could make my life easier is if I could slap myself to remember to pay attention to Mrs. Polay in class. Also, I could remember to stop working at recess and lunch. It would be awesome to be able to move things with my mind.

If I could use the force and ove objects with my minds, my life could be easier. I want to be good at basketball, so I could easily use my powers to do a fantastic shot by using my mind to control a ball.When my friends are hurt, I will lift them up, so they have no need to walk. I also want to help my friends. I want to lift up things and make it go overseas. I want to get my books quicker. I also can clean my house quiker and cleaner because our family has a very big problem with cleaning it very well. I think these ways will help my life be easier, but I could get very lazy when I get use to the idea for a very long time.

If I could move a pencil to write with my mind then my hand wouldn’t hurt.If I could move food and open a fridge with my mind then I wouldn’t have to get up and walk over and open the fridge to get food I could just open the fridge with my my mind and then the food I want will fly over into my hands.Mind control would be an awesome power to have.

If I had the power to move things with my mind it would make my life easier. The first reason being I would not have to move anywhere. My second reason is because I would be able to read with my mind. Thirdly, I would only need to use my mind to turn things on. For example a light switch or the television. My fourth reason why doing things with my mind would be easier is because I would not have to move things around. Lastly, the ability to do things with my mind would make my life easier because my mind would write for me instead of my hands.

If I could move things with my mind it would help me more than once he are 5 reasons, 1st have always loathed writing things out and now I could just use my mind to move the pencil, NO MORE LONG REPORTS HERE I COME! 2nd I could just move the person away in football and score so my team would always win in games. 3rd I could fly because I would use mind control and will the air to push me up hard. 4th I could use mind control to frighten Sea World into treating the orcas better by using mind control to stop people from going to Sea World so they would go out of business or stop. 5th on Halloween I could dress up as Dark Vader and do amazing Force demonstrations. Being able to use mind control would make my life change beyond my wildest dreams.

If I could control objects with my mind I would use it for my hair on a typical day. It would be easier because I could move the comb with my mind and it could comb my hair and another way is I have to use water in my hair and my clothes get wet a little so I could tell the faucet to put not to use that much water so my clothes won't get wet. I could also control the mirror so that I could look at my hair to see if it's okay. Plus I could could do everything at one time and I could save time. I could put the products in my hair so I don't get my hands all greasy. I think having powers like controlling things with your mind make life to everyone easier.

If I could have the super power to move things with my mind these are some of the things i would do. I think if you could pick up a pencil in your mind it would be handy. It would be handy because now instead of writing with your hand an get it to start hurting you could just use your mind and just thinking what to wright and it would wright it for you. If you could pick up a book with your mind it would be helpful because when I read my head hurts so if you could use your mind to pick up a book it would probably hurt a lot less. If you could pick up your silverware with your mind it would be helpful because instead of cutting or sipping your food you could just think of doing that and it will happen. If you could pick up your cup with your mind it would be handy because instead of you having to get up and going to get water your mind will do it all for you so now you could drink water easier. If you could pick up a ball with your mind it would be helpful because instead of going to get the ball from somewhere it would come to you so you wouldn’t have to wait for the ball. Having this super power would be fun.

power of the mind

Having to move things with your mind would come in handy for many reasons. Here are five reasons:
1. When you want candy and your mom doesn’t let you, then you could sneak the candy, and she wouldn’t even notice
2. If you need to throw something away and the trash can is all the way across the yard, than you could use mind control to throw away your trash.
3. If you needed to bring something very heavy to build a building, than you could use mind control to move all the heavy materials, and it would not hurt anyone’s back.
4. If you wanted to get some tools, and it was all the way back in the trunk of the car, than you could use mind control to get the keys, get the tools from the trunk of the car, and close the trunk of the car.
5. If you wanted to donate a bicycle to carry medicines for sick children, than you could just take your bicycle, and deliver it to the hospital with mind control.
Mind control would be a awesome power to have!!!

Moving objects with my mind would be really fun and useful for so many reasons. I wouldn't be able to tell you all of them so I'll give you five examples. 1. If I was tired and in my bed at night, I could bring my tooth brush,mouth wash, pajamas, and a glass of water right to me so I don't have to get out of my bed. 2. I could do two things at once! For example, I could draw and at the same time, I could use mind control to have my brush style my hair and dress me for school so I don't have to stop sketching . 3. I could use mind control to make a pencil write my answers on my homework. That way I could use my hand energy to draw! 4. If I wanted to watch television but my mom wanted me to stop and clean my room, I could clean my room using my mind, allowing me to continue watching my show and not have to do a boring chore. 5. If I was hungry and I was too busy to stop and eat, I could use my mind to make a delicious snack and then have it float right to me. Having mind control would be a really great skill, so great that it makes me sad that it is impossible!

I think it would be really cool to have that kind of power! 1. if you need something you could just use your mind to get it. 2. If you are really tired and you do not feel like wanting to brush your teeth you just use your mind to brush your teeth! 3. (my favorite) Since my brothers always kiss me i could just do something evil to them. Like when he wants to sit down i could just move the chair back with my mind! I can't really think of other ways but i bet if i had mind powers i bet it would be really helpful!!

When I'm playing football and the ball is thrown to me I would use my mind to bring it to me so I could catch it. 5. If Somebody was hitting me I would use my mind and make him stop by putting his arms around him so he couldn't hit me. I would love to have mind control.

If I could move stuff with my mind it would save a lot of time. In the morning I would make my breakfast while I play my games. I would do lots of worksheets at once. When I get home I would play games while I took the trash out and eat my food. Before I went to bed I would set my bed up and brush my teeth at the same time. If I could move stuff with my mind it would make my life faster.
