My 7th graders are learning about Japan and with it, Shinto. One custom is to write an "ema" or wish/hope while at a shinto shrine. Each student wrote their own "ema." Here's what they wish for:
-I wish to be a rich man and go to heaven and be wise
-When I die I want to go to heaven and live with God
-I wish I could be rich and sucessfull and wise
-I wish that I'll have the most shimmery converse EVER!!!
-I wish for a beautiful dress
-I wish I can grow up rich and wise
-For everyone 2 be happy
-I wish I would live to 100 years
-I wish I could have a very successful job and live somewhere grand
-I hope for more wisdom of the Bible and Christianity
-peace in the world
-to go to a good college, and have a good future
-I wish that I would be safe in the bus ride
-I wish for a lot of wisdom
-I wish I could be with the one I love forever
-more freedom!!!
-I wish and hope that the world would come to peace and the wars are resolved
-to be happy
-I want a lion cub for a pet.
-I wish my parents would give me more freedom.
-I wish that when I die I would go to heaven.
-I pray I become an actor.
