How Would Gatsby’s Money Change My Life

I think Gatsby’s money would definitely change my life in many ways but for the better. Would I use the money specifically for my own gain? The answer would be a definite NO. I could think of so many people and organizations that I would like to give some of that money too.

I think first off, I would buy an accessible airplane. I would use this airplane, not just for myself, but for good of others. For example, if someone was sick, I would bring them to one of the three doctors who know how to take care of SMA kids properly. There are so many doctors who don’t know how to properly care for a child with SMA and always tell the parents that there is no hope. I would also use my plane to hand deliver blankets to newly diagnosed families from my organization, B4SMA.

With the money, I would be able to buy more fabric and supplies for B4SMA and be able to make more blankets. I would also be able to make more cards and be able to send cards internationally. I would love to be able to expand MJ’s Cards, Ltd. to more kids than just the ones I currently send. I would get a computer specifically for making cards and envelopes and also for designing webpages for more kids. I have done 4 websites and would love to be able to do more.

How would I accomplish this and do school? I would hire a private tutor so I could stay home and work when I can and avoid the downfalls of attending a public school with all the germs surrounding one there.

I know that I would have different friends, mostly because people only care about money. They would want to be my friend, more for the money, than for who I am. Of course, I would see right through them, as I can, and not tolerate their fake friendship.
