I believe that in 100 years people will live in very techoly based apartments. Where all of the food will be printed through advanced versions on 3D Printers that would have advanced in so many different ways. I also believe that people wouldn't really be working as robots would be able to do most jobs themselves. The only jobs that humans would have would be programing the robots to do the jobs.

My favrioute song is titled Galway Girl and it is by Ed Sheeran.

Lyrics:
She played a fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English Man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "baby, I just want to dance"

I meet her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
She share a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
She took Jame as a chaser, Jack for the fun
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Chatted somer more, one more drink at the bar
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

She played a fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English Man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "baby, I just want to dance"
With, my pretty little Galway girl
You're my pretty little Galway girl

You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
And the she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
After dancing to Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sang so sweet
A capella in the bar using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me

She played a fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English Man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "baby, I just want to dance"
My pretty little Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl

And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
About a Galway girl and a perfect night

She played a fiddle in an Irish band
But she fell in love with an English Man
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
Said, "baby, I just want to dance"
My pretty little Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway girl, hey

In my opinion I strongly believe that student should be aloud to have free access to university. As Albert Einstein once said "Once you stop learning, you start dying". I interpret this quote to be saying never stop learning otherwise a piece of your mind slowly starts to die. Tat is why I am saying that we shouldn't have to pay for university fees. Another reason is that some people want to go to university but they can't afford it because of financial reasons. So those are my two reasons why the government should pay for students to go to university.

Dear Mr Hendricks,

I strongly believe that there should be a new subject to our school week. The subject that I believe should be added is robotics. The reason that I personally would like this added is because robotics and coding is really efficient way to learn about the future. I say that because I believe that one day in the near future robots will one day help us live our lives and make them much easier. For that reason I believe that we should prepare ourselves for what is going to happen in the future.

Please deeply consider what I have asked of you.

Yours Sincerely,

Harrison
