“Imagination is the soil that brings dreams to life”, John C. Maxwell. I have a huge imagination with planets and things going on around me. A lot of my imagination doesn’t make a lot of sense half the time. And I have told you why I created that world but I never really said when or how I made it. Today I will tell you all about when I created my universe and how, so you can understand me a little bit better.

The day before I was born my mom and dad were waiting for my grandma to arrive in Wichita so she would be there when I was born…but she never came. So, they asked around to see if a flight from California was going to arrive soon. The people there told my parents that there was no flight coming from California. So, my mom called my grandma and asked what was going on. She was on a flight to Kansas City and my parents had to drive all the way to Kansas City from Wichita. While my dad drove, my mom was in a lot of pain because her stomach would not grow any more so it was a long drive full of pain. Once they finally got my grandma, they went home and my mom was exhausted. But at 6 am they drove back to the hospital. The nurses told my mom to wait for the doctor but you can’t really wait for a baby. So, while my mom waited in pain the nurse just kept saying that she had to wait. Finally, the doctor came and at 11am I was born. Little did they know I was going to create a whole universe.

The day I was born I fell asleep and that’s when I had a dream of being in space. I was floating for a while but then I remembered how some things looked. The grass was starting to turn to a yellow color, the tree’s leaves were red and orange and they were falling. Then soon in my dream there was something there floating in space just as I was. It was a piece of the ground with a tree on it just as I pictured it. I tried to remember something else and I remembered the bed I was sleeping in. It was a small crib painted pink with a teddy bear in it. And just like before I thought of it and now it appeared once more. I then woke up and looked around. I was confused because I wasn’t looking at the island anymore. I was staring at my mom. But every night I fell asleep and remembered what I saw. As I grew older the more I created, so that tiny island was no longer an island it was a whole planet of my memories. I saw tv shows and they came to life here. I saw animals at the zoo, they are now here in this world. While the universe grew, so did I. I realized that this place needed a queen to take care of everything just like I saw on tv. So, I imagined my castle and it came to life. Everyone there saw. I told them I was going to have my coronation and be queen to help everyone. Even though there may have been only a few people on this planet, they welcomed me as their queen. So, I grew up more and more and now have even more planets than before.

Now the present day. I am still queen and I rule over 10 planets. I have a memorial of the first place I ever made (“The Island of Memories” is what it’s called). People go all the time to see what I created. It may not be much but I was a baby when making it, so I don’t have much to create when I have barely any memory at all. Now I have all sorts of memories and so I have made a candy island of things I have eaten and things that I think would be great as candy. All my planets have a reason for being there; not just because I thought it would be great, but because I have memories that are in a specific category. Being queen was not a choice but something I created because I was born with memories. I believe my memories are like stories that I can go back to. So this place I made in my head may be imaginary, but it is also very special to me and the people here. Everything now is not extremely amazing but they are a part of my life. Nowadays this place is kind of leaving my head because as I get older I forget things. I am afraid of leaving this place, but it is fine because I know I could never forget all my memories.

Being queen is fun. I can definitely say that. I do think there are some bad parts about it, but there is always something that can go wrong in any situation. That is one thing I have learned from being queen. I also realized that other people have memories too and they have their imagination as well as me. Which means that everyone is their own queen or king of not just their body but their mind like their memories of the relationship they have made with all their friends and family. With imagination and memories, you rule over yourself.
