My name is Emily and I love chocolate. But one day, I raced home quickly to hear that there was actually one ticket out there somewhere that hasnt been found yet. Then I forced my father to buy me a chocolate bar each day, so I could find that ticket. I come from a poor family, Ive always been loved and had everything done for me.
My parents spoil me to the point that no one else can even imagine. I had everything I wanted but I dont know how hard it took my parents to earn that money. Sometimes for what I wanted to buy, my father had to work overtime to earn more money to pay the bills. I know that sometimes Im over confident, a bit selfish and I make people dislike me hence I only have one friend.
But I was lucky enough to find the last golden ticket, which was being thrown away by a 5 year old in the bin. I was sitting on the parks bench when I saw something shining and gleaming. As I walked to the bin, I immediately grabbed the wrapper and shoved it in my pocket and made sure no one saw. As I walked home from the park, there were one million things in my mind that I couldnt say out loud. My head was like going to explode but I had to stay quiet and act normal in front of others.
That was the hardest part because Im very talkative and I know cant keep secrets either, While I was walking, I saw my best friend Trish and I accidently told Trish about the Golden Ticket. But once I got home I saw a lot of people standing at my door and they all wanted to look at the Golden Ticket. But the next day, every article had my name on it that I found the last Golden Ticket. I felt so happy, excited and even full of energy and couldnt wait to go the Chocolate Factory
