"I have to agree with a lot of people on here, going back to Jesus' time, and witnessing the things He did would be my #1 thing to do. Secondly, I would want to go back to the night when my brothers best friend died, and stop it from happening. I know they say things happen for a reason, but it is really hard to accept that. He was like a brother to me, and I know it is hard on my brother. I know I can't do this, and I will have to accept that, but If I could I would. And lastly, I would want to go back to any time in history, because I love history. I wouldn't want to go to the future, like a lot of people do, because I like to live in the moment and take things in as they are. I wouldn't want to see everything before it happened because it would ruin my future."
