   If i was invisible for 1 day I would help stop crime. I would be able to follow criminals to their lair and stop all evil plots they have planned. if they cant go forward with their plans the world would be a better place. If the world was a better place, there would be less crime to stop.

    All in all, the world would be so much better if crime was stopped. Crime would probably severely reduced in that area. I would be like a superhero and the world would be better.

Wood Shop

        My class of choice would be wood shop. It would be a great class to learn craftsmanship and how to handle projects well with delicate stuff such as wood. It would be held after school as a club or something, because it is a class that really doesn't  have value to your life so it would be more as a fun class rather then it interfere with important classes. 

        Wood class would feel like a class that you can get to socialize with friends and have fun while building projects and sculpting. it would basically be an art class but only working with wood. It would be a class that many people would probably enjoy and sign up for that club.
