In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If there is any element of your wish that can be acted upon before the next day, do it. For example, if you wish is that you do well on a big test, study the night before and review your notes! If your wish revolves around falling in love, call up the boy or girl that you have a crush on and ask them out on a date! You can't sit back and hope that all of your wildest dreams come true without working towards achieving them. If your wish can be achieved with the help of others, see if your close friends or family members would be willing to help. Tell them what your wish is and explain what you want to achieve over the course of a night. Even if they don't offer to help you directly, they may have a piece of advice that will help you get closer to your goal. Say, "I am hoping to make something come true tonight, do you have a minute to talk about it?" to determine what you need to do to make your wish come true. Before you go to sleep, sit down with a blank piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Write down every actionable step that you can take in the next couple of days to make your wish come true. Keep the to-do list in a visible place in your room, and work from top to bottom. Cross off each item as you complete it. For example, if your wish is to graduate from a good college, include items like, "Identify good schools that I can afford," "Figure out the application process," and, "Visit potential schools over the summer." Put the easiest items at the top of your list to give you a couple of easy wins. This will make it easier to get the ball rolling and gain momentum. Take the original piece of paper that you wrote your wish on and fold it under your pillow. Go to sleep that night thinking about your wish coming true. You will sleep better that night knowing that you wish is secure under your pillow, and keeping it close to your head will help focus your mind as you sleep!
Summary: Figure out what you can reasonably accomplish in one night. Discuss your goals with a friend or family member to see how they can help. Compose a to-do list Put your wish under your pillow when you go to sleep.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Kids often struggle to finish their homework on time. When you get home, there are so many other things to do. Playing outside, playing inside, messing around. Instead, do your homework first and get it out of the way, to free up time later to do what you want. This is a sign of maturity. If you're always doing your work and turning it in on time, both your parents and your teachers will look at you as a mature student. If you forget to do an assignment, don't make up excuses. Tell your teacher honestly what happened. Making up elaborate lies is an immature thing to do. Just like at home, at school you need to listen to authority figures. Even when you don't like what they're saying, mature kids understand the need to follow directions and behave in school. Sit quietly and listen when your teacher is speaking. When you're in class, and your teacher is speaking, you always need to be quiet. Don't talk to your neighbor unless you're told to. Wait until afters school or recess to talk with your friends. Sometimes, kids who act out in class may seem more "adult" because they're more willing to get in trouble. This is usually a sign of immaturity, though. As you get older, it'll be much easier to tell the difference. When you're at school, treat everyone with respect. Don't pick on anyone, especially younger kids. If you see a younger student looking lost, or looking like they might need help, offer it. Be a kind classmate. When you're at lunch, or at recess, don't ever pick on younger kids. If you don't want to hang out with them, that's fine. But don't make a big deal out of it. Mature kids know and respect people older than them. When you're in the fifth grade, you'll feel like you're super mature, but as soon as you get to sixth grade, you'll be the little kid again. And to a high school senior? You're really young. Try to remember how old you are and don't get too big for your britches. Immature kids will always be yelling in school, making the lunch room loud and the hallways loud and the classroom loud. Speak loud enough to be heard, but speak clearly and at a reasonable volume. Kids often have trouble controlling the volume of their voice. Immature kids will often do things just to get attention, showing off in gym class or at other times. More mature kids know that the way to stand out from the crowd isn't to brag to your friends and try to show off to others, but to put your head down and do your work the right way. If you're skilled at something, it's not bad to show off every now and then, but never brag about it. If you're going to be good at something, let your actions show it. Be a good winner and a good loser. If you lose a game, don't pout. Congratulate the winners. If you win a game, don't brag. Go over to the loser and say, "Good game, let's do this again." Looking mature will help you to feel mature. There's no one way to dress if you want to look mature, though, so it's mostly just important to wear clothes that make you feel good. What makes you feel confident? What makes you feel grown up and mature? Wear those clothes. Clean clothes that are well-fit to your body are always the best choice. Maturity tip: Learn to do laundry yourself, so you can always be sure the clothes you want to wear are clean. It's still ok to wear the clothes that fit your age. When you're a kid, it's not necessary to start dressing like an adult yet, unless you want to. It would look kind of strange for someone in grade school to rock a business suit. If you want to wear make-up, make sure it's ok with your parents first.
Summary: Do your school work on time. Listen to your teacher and follow instructions. Be kind to younger students. Use your "indoor" speaking voice. Don't show off. Wear clean clothes that fit you well.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Separate or cut the bun into its two halves to get it ready to put in the toaster. Make sure to cut it in half evenly if you have to cut it apart so it will fit in the toaster. This method of toasting will only work for hamburger-style sandwich buns. You'll need a toaster with large enough slots to accommodate the bun halves. You won't be able to use this method for hotdog buns or other irregularly-shaped buns. Don't put butter, olive oil, or any other substance on the buns before using a toaster to toast them. It will just burn and cause a lot of smoke and a mess. Different toasters have different settings that you can alter to adjust the toast cycle. Pick one of the medium-range settings to toast the bun so you don't burn it. You can alter the settings after the first bun you toast to toast future buns more or less. Some toasters even allow you to adjust the heat while toasting. Place the bun halves inside and press the lever down to start the toaster. Wait for toaster to automatically finish its toasting cycle and eject the toasted bun. It doesn't matter which direction the bun halves face when you insert them into the toaster. Unlike other methods, this procedure will toast the bun halves on both sides, resulting in a bun that is drier and more crumbly.
Summary:
Split the bun into 2 halves. Set the toaster to medium heat or a medium level of toasting. Toast the bun for the full toasting cycle.
