If I could be one thing for a day...

Don't you wish you could fly? I do, thats why if I could be anything, I would be a falcon. Falcons are able to fly at extremely high altitudes, and very fast too. Another perk of being a bird is being able to go  wherever you wanted to, without paying anything. it would also be nice to be able to escape every day life and not have to live in a house or pay for food. These are just a few of many reasons I would be a falcon.

Most birds are good at flying, but falcons are able to fly in higher altitudes because of their aerodynamic bodies. It would be very cool, being able to fly around building and skyscrapers. This would allow you to fly swiftly around city wind tunnels and alleyways. And besides, whats more majestic than a falcon? Of course, great speed would allow you to go many places very quickly without boundaries.

If humans could fly, we could make it anywhere in the world in a matter of days. Thats why it would be awesome to be a bird, free travel to anywhere in the world. Of course you would have to take a break, but you could just sit down in a tree for night. Not find a hotel, pay for it, unpack and then sleep. And then for breakfast, just swoop down and grabs some bugs and leave. Easy travel anywhere in the world, and not a dollar spent. 

Falcons, unlike humans, are not bound to a house or location. If you felt like going to a tropical beach, go to tropical beach. If you felt like going to a snowy forest, go to a snowy forest. Also being a bird, it wouldn't be hard to find enough food to to keep you going. another contrast with animals and humans, no items to be attached too, no luggage or toys to keep track of. These are just a few of the many reasons it would be great to be a falcon.

Along with the small amount of food to keep you sustained, no physical possessions, and no money to worry about, it would be pretty great to be a falcon. No boundaries to keep you where you are, and no reason to leave or stay in a certain place. You could see something new every day and never worry about anything else that you have to do. I think that in the event I had to pick something to be for one day, I would definitely pick a falcon.
