I’m wanting to pay for my own university education, raise money for my favourite charity, and have money to travel.
Rosie, Kidpreneur
For the most part, Rosie is your typical sixth grader. She loves to read and her favourite books are Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. She also loves Starbucks, swimming, and of course, like most kids her age, she loves screentime. And like most kids, Rosie wanted her own iPad and so she asked her parents if they would buy her one. Like most parents, Rosie received the standard answer from them that many kids get when asking for such an extravagant gift which was you can have one when you can figure out how to pay for it.
Now we’re getting to the unique part of Rosie. Rosie actually accepted this challenge and found a way to do just that! And why not? After all, as the saying goes, she’s a product of her own environment. Well, not really. Rosie is her own person, but she definitely has some positive influencers around her, and many of them are in business for themselves. Included are her father, grandmother and also, her grandfather. So, why not start her own business? Why does her age have to be a barrier?

Simon Birch is a little boy who strongly believes he has a purpose. He teaches everyone who watches that even the most unlikely people can become heroes if they believe in themselves. Simon always puts others before himself and doesn’t care what anyone else says about him.
I liked that the movie was funny, but at the same time you learned something. My favourite character was Rebecca because she was always sweet and caring for everybody. There were some sad parts and also lots of suspense. Although it has some sad parts, I think that those parts play a big part in the outcome of the movie. I would not change anything about Simon Birch.
