Item 14 31-MAY-90 18:39 Nancy Stefanik Question #4: What Can I Do Now To Make This Happen? This item is for responses to the fourth of four questions in the KIDS-91 project: WHAT CAN I DO NOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? What steps can you take now to realize your personal goals and your vision of the world? 14:24) Jonn Ord 25-JAN-91 16:53 To make the world a better place I will always start to recycle and be friendly with others. I hope the people in our planet can help make the world a wonderful place. (Mark Bower) I'm only thirteen years old, but things I do could change the world in a positive way. I could encourage friends in my community to discourage litter, and pollution. I could go out of my way to help people in need or to pick up one piece of paper that I might find on the ground. Just by doing these simple things we can make a world of a difference. (Peter Mittelholzer) What I can do to help clean up the world now is try to recycle more and don't use things that are nonbiodegradeble. If we do thoings like this it will help to start cleaning up the world so it will be a better place to live. Even us kids can do things to help. (Sean Conta) I know we just can't wish for the polution to go away and it will. If we recycle and sort our trash that will help the earth. If we don't trow things in the ocean we won't kill the animals. I hope this world will be cleaned up soon and we will not have any trouble with the earth. (Gillian Hoffman) I think we should endeavor to better the planet bocotting companies who sellby anything that is "disposible" so that there will be no need for landfills. It's us kids that can save the world. (James Stolfi) My name is Ted Murena. I wish that When I grow up I wish that the whole world would work together to make the eviorment of our world a clean but more so a safe place for our children to grow up in . some ways I can start now is to recycle aluminum cans and paper. Some other thing that can be done is to right letter to tuna fish companies to express how we feel about them killing dolphins. (Ted Murena) When I grow up I wish that the whole would be freinds and the fighting would stop.I always have wondered why countries have to fight because there really is no purpose in it.Animals are dieing out and by the time I am grown up alot more animals are going to be extinct. I think the world could find better ways to catch tuna without killing dolphins because soon the amount of dolphins is going to slowly die away. (Alissa Heindel) When I grow up I want no war or any kind of fighting. I wish that all the pollution would go away. Each day more amd more animals become extinct, and for me to see animals die away because of our carelessness is sad. I also think its very sad to see our dolphins die away because we keep killing them. We ourselves are not killing them , but lots of tuna factories are. I don't want any kind of animal to die because of our carelessness. (Tina Bruciati age 12) The things I can do to now insure my future is to recycle and to get a good education for Westpiont. (Marty Purdue) The steps that I can take are to try hard in school. I should stop littering and polluting. I should also help others and be a good citazen. (Natascha Sherman) I feel that if we didn't use plastic bags, styrofoam and if we recycled paper, glass etc. it would help us in the future for every little bit counts. So at the moment I'm going to do the best I can in school and recycle. (Shannon Cooney) 14:25) Jonn Ord 29-JAN-91 15:30 From Biloxi, MI ================= I really don't know. (Melanie Sieger) Well, I guess since I'm only 11, I probably can't do anything. (Grace Reed) I can make this happen by doing it myself. My goal is to stop pollution and that the world would be a better place if we stop. (Christopher Hatt) I could start studying about our bodies. I want the future to be like how it used to be. It use to be so clean and there was no trash on the street. (Nick Breau) I would have a $50,000 fine for littering. I would have no steam trucks and lower the steam in power plants. Instead of wars I would try to agree on something. (Kerry Holcomb) I could tell everybody that everybody needs to love and care for each other and have no wars. (Robbie Benne) I would have no litter signs all over the world and I would visit all the cities, states, countries, and continents and all other places on the earth to share things and there is no reason to fight. (Rebecca Vance) I can stop polluting and picking up trash on the streets. I can start right now helping animals and keeping them healthy. (Candice Fulton) Put things that can be recycled in a pile and burn the rest. (Celeste Gonzalez) Start a no polluting club. (Karen Walker) Nothing. (Becky Hall) I can't just do it myself everybody needs to help protect the animals and water and forests. (Brandon Lee) I would make this happen by doing it alone and try to make everyone cooperate together. (Patrick Burke) First learn about animals, pollution, and amount of oil. (Michael McPherson) I can help this by not throwing litter around and by not polluting the air. (Miranda Smith) If I become a cardiologist then I will help people that need medical attention and more people will stay happy instead of feeling sorrow. (Jennifer Irizarry) I can do this my self and also tell my friends and other people and print up some little note like things and stick them in the doors of at all the houses in my neighborhood and I can write letters to the president. I can do a lot of things to save the environment. (Melissa Cotrell) I can tell people to be nice to one another and not to pollute the area. (Mark Galeos) To believe in the true god Jehovah. To believe in myself and I will succeed. (James Johnson) 14:26) Jonn Ord 02-FEB-91 13:17 I can help everyone to get a job (not everyone but some people) by encouraging them. The only way I think of to make the world have peace is to have a lot of negotiations between the U.S. and the world......(Kristen Kathryn Cox) I can lecture on drugs and what they can do to you. I can also arrange a group in which we can talk to people that already have a drug problem. And about the Middle East crisis, I'm not sure that I can do much about that, but we can let President Bush deal with it.(Melisa Dryburgh) Don't take drugs, try not to pollute, and don't become a criminal to make the world better. To make my goals come true I will try to meet them and go to animal clinics to explore animals.(Sash Michelle Geren) I can make this happen by using recycleble materials. I'd like to st the use of aerosol cans to lower the amount of C.F.C.'s in the environment.(Thomas Christopher Buist) I can recycle some products. I can always make sure that my garbage is in the can and not on the ground, and I can always keep peace with my family and appreciate what I do have. I can keep my grades up, I can be kind to all and I can appreciate myself for who I am today.(Caroline Krista Clarke) I can talk to my teachers to my teachers and let them know how I feel. (Steven Pinder) My contribution to making the world the way I would like it consists of four things. The first thing I will do is to be myself. I will accomplish my dreams, and succeed in life, and I will show others how important it is to believe in themselves, and have their own dreams come true. (Kristin Erickson) I can speak out about pollution. There are many the world who will listen to me and thousands of others. can help with petitions, and support and wildlife foundations. As for world peace, I can onlyhope that world leaders will get so onvolved with saving the world that they will forget their grudges. (Kelly Reed) I can try to get more people concerned about the environment, recycle paper, cans and buy things that are reuseable. To stop over development I can write a petition and get people to signit, and send it to the president. emphasize education, we should encourage students to do better. To reach my personal goals I should try to do good in school, study hard for tests and go to medical school. (Kevin Sweet) Right know there is not much I can do to save the world, now, however I can do little things like recycling. The Earth is everyone's child. So everyone should want the best for it. (Kristofer Kuhn) To achieve my goals I can learn as much as I can about boat designing now, before I go into business. Also, to keepthe world's ecosystem working well, I won't pollute. (Brook Lovatt) To make this happen I can work hard in school, practice all of my skills, keep drawing, reading, learning, listening, and "probing" all of the technology as possible and helping people. (Judson Wood) I can consult the local Health Department to test air samples to see if the air is really polluted. Senators might be some what helpful in the event of education. I will write letters to the senators and express my feelings. I hope I'l have some response. (Janet Regal) Right now I could give my opinion. I think that youth participation makes adults realize that we know what is going on. As for the clean-ups, I could help and get involved as much as possible. (Erin Rittland) I will learn all there is to know. Then with knowledge I will fight the evils that plgus our Earth. (Susan Warner) I can not do much personally to make this dream come true but the government can. If each country made peace with each other by a treaty,we would have world peace. The government should make laws so there will be no racism. (Heather Koman) I can get small groups of people to inform others about the problem and so on. Eventually, I can tell the country about the problem. (Robbie Dawson) I think that if I try to get a good education and work hard that I can change things when I grow up. (Brian Hersman) Some of the things I can do now to make the world as my envision are: make sure all my friends and others stay in school. In my town try to illiminate crime, drugs,ect. Hopefully other cities will catch on. This might lead to Global Peace. I will write to the government as much as possible until something is done about our homeless.(Jodie Del Bene) I must stay in school and work hard at my studies, and make an effort the help others.(Rachel Fulton) Work hard in school so when I grow up I can help do these things.(Joseph Mc Gahan) Now I can recycle cans and cut down on styrofoam and plastic. Right now I can also Just Say No (to drugs).(Mark Seely) Be nice to everyone, start a petition, and write a letter to the state board of education to see what can be done to get a fund together. To become a model, I can go to a modeling school. I can petition those companies that are using animals as tests objects and I can also picket them. As for being a mother, a wife, I can't do anything about them yet.(Kara Cole) I can give money to the poor and Red Cross.(Evans Crary) There is not much I, Myself can do now about world peace or more money toward the educational system. But I can help prevent waste from seeping into our waters and air by convinceing my mom to only use the car when needed. Also recycle so less garbage is thrown away. My steps now are very slim, though if I were to be a public attorney I would have to work hard and get good grades.(LuAnne Stahl) Right now I can encourage people to recycle and walk or ride a bike if possible to decreasew smoke and air pollution.(Natasha Lenore Martiniuk) To make this happen I can: help stop pollution, watch the news, help at poor shelters, and write to different people. (Carrie Rae Supancic) To help prevent more pollution on the earth I could recycle, not use any aerosol cans, car pool and not waste water. (Allison Trowbridge) To help these things become a reality, I can do well in college and become a good vet and respected animal rights activist. That way, people may listen to me.

Dear Mr Presno we would like you to send our letters to other children around the world. We would like other kids to reply and tell us about themselves especially if their lives are different from ours. ==================== Here are answers to the four KIDS-91 questions from children in CEDAR class. ===================== 1) My name is Sam Dyerson my age is 9, I am a boy and my hobbies are football, swimming and cricket. I am a goalkeeper and me and my friend James are the best footballers in the school. I like football very much and I come in with mud all over me but my mum does not mind when I get very dirty. 2) I would like to be a professional goal keeper because I will get lot's of money and I will give it to my family when they are old and I am rich. 3) I do not want there to be a war I want the war to go away. and I would like Sadam Hussein to agree on there not to be a war. 4) I would very much like the wood cutters to stop cutting trees down and stop building factories which pollute the environment. ================================================== 1) My name is Carlton my age is 10 and I like football, tennis and basketball. I play at my friend's house because he has a basketball net on his wall. My favourite lesson at school is technology and I like making working models. My other hobby is collecting insects. I like school very much. 2)I want to be a business man when I grow up and work in a big building. ================================================== 1) Hi my name is Lee Wiltshire I am a boy and i am 10 years old. My best lesson at school is when we make videos and have discussions. At home I like playing on my bike and going swimming. I have a friend called Kya. If there is any trouble it is always me and Kya. I get into trouble because I open my mouth and say the wrong things. My mum is kind she always lets me play with Kya. I always seem to make the wrong decisions I have a bad temper and I have to go away by myself and cool down before I hit someone. 2) My sister wants to be a policewoman. In my spare time I wash cars to get some extra pocket money. I like counting my money when I get it. I want to be a shopkeeper when I grow up so I can count money. 3) In the future I hope that the world will be made a better place because we stop cutting down the trees and pick up our litter and re-use paper, glass and cans and things to help the environment. I hope the cars in the future will not choke us. I reckon we hould make a peace plan and every Prime Minister in every country should joinup and sign a peace contract, this would make the world a better place. 4) I will argue other people into behaving sensibly like I have made my mum change our car to run on un-leaded petrol. I talked and talked until she gave in, TURTLE KID POWER. ================================================= 1) My name is James my age is 9 and my hobby is football and I play every playtime with my friends Sam, Andrew, Carlton and Lee. My other hobby is basket ball and I am in a basketball club. I have a sister her name is Elizabeth. 2) When I grow up I want to be business man. ================================================== 1) My name is Andrew Gordon my hobby is riding my bike but at school I play football. I am a boy and I am age 11. I watch TV when I get home from school. I am black but I do not get upset when someone calls me names. 2) I want to have my own business when I grow up but but I would like to be a computer operator like my mum. I help teachers when they have problems with their computers in classrooms. 3) I would like the world not to be so violent and not racist in the future. In my school they think it is big to call people names and people get upset. 4) I would set a good example and when people drop litter I pick it up and give it to them back. 34:32) Jonn Ord 05-FEB-91 18:35 Date: 01 Feb 91 18:50:24 EST From: Kevin McKeown <76702.1434@CompuServe.COM> Subject: First responses from SM!

KIDS-91 officially has been accepted as a curriculum project of the Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School District, so you'll be seeing a lot more from us in the months to come! Santa Monica is also home of the proposed May 12th "Hole in Space" project, so you may be "seeing" us quite literally! 1) My name is Anthony Spataro. I am 13 years old. I am a boy. 2) I would like to be an engineer, computer specialist, or a pilot. 3) I want the world to be a better place by cleaning it up and lessening pollution. It would also be nice if everyone would stop fighting for just five or ten minutes. 4) I, since I am the adult of tomorrow, can make these things happen by not littering and not fighting wars myself. I can also help by developing new and better inventions to help clean up and promote happiness. ______________________ 1) Tim Williams, 14 years old, male. Born in Santa Monica, California. I attend Crossroads High School. 2) I have no set idea of what I want to be when I "grow up", perhaps either a pilot or a politician. 3) To make the world a better place, I would end censorship and enforce the UN sanctions against aggression. 4) To reach these ends, I may become a politician. ______________________ 1) My name is Michael Myers and I am 12 years old and live in Santa Monica, California. 2) I think when I grow up I want to be a lawyer. 3) I think the world would be a better place if Bush would worry about some of the problems our country has ..... - - - - - - - - - - 34:33) Jonn Ord 05-FEB-91 18:38 Date: Fri, 1 Feb 91 11:03 EDT From: BUTTONJE%SNYPOTVA.BITNET@CORNELLC.cit.cornell.edu Subject: INTRODUCTORY MESSAGES HERE ARE RESPONSES TO THE 4 INTRODUCTORY QUESTIONS FROM A GROUP OF SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS OF NEW YORK STATE. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO PARTICIPATING THE "KIDPEACE" PROJECT. (Where should we send the KIDPEACE responses to?) BUTTONJE@SNYPOTVA ART SCHOUTEN My name is Art Schouten. I am 11 years old and I live in Tupper Lake, New York. I like to read, learn about world history, play baseball, and play basketball. I used to live in a place called Circleville New York, which is five hours away from where I live now. When I grow up I would like to be an adventurer and live in Florida near the Everglades. I would like to go to Syracuse University and study history. I would try to improve our environment by getting rid of all weapons and try to find ways to stop people from destroying our environment. I would make inventions to stop the Ozone from being destroyed and I would have a club to get rid of all weapons. --- BRANDEN MC NAMARA My name is Branden McNamare and I live in Tupper Lake, New York. I'm in the 6th grade, I go to school at L. P. Quinn Elementary. My favorite sport is football and my favorite team is the New York Giants who I hope is going to beat Buffalo in the Superbowl. What I want to be when I grow up is either a doctor or a lawyer because I want to help people. I probably will go through college before I go to med or law school. I want the world to be better when I grow up--I want there to be no more wars. I also want people to treat each other better so that we won't have any more wars. I also want us to clean up our environment. I can stop wasting food so that there won't be so much garbage. I could also start recycling cans, papers, and bottles. I think we all could be at peace if we all stop being mean to everybody. --- CORY LA QUAY My name is Cory LaQuay from Tupper Lake, New York. I am 11 years old and my favorite hobby is sports. Hockey is my favorite sport. I play hockey, baseball, football, basketball and many more. When I become an adult, I want to become either a professional hockey player or a professional baseball player. I am willing to go to college and get a job when I'm not getting checked into the boards or hitting a homerun. When I grow up I want the world to be a non-polluted and war free planet. I am willing to do anything to make our planet this way. What everyone can do to make our planet a better place to live is recycle, cut down on aerosol sprays and other things that are polluting our air. --- NAT SHULTZ My name is Nat Shultz. I live in Tupper Lake, New York. It is a sma town next to Lake Placid where the 1980 Olympics were held. I just turned 12 years old January 6, 1991. I do a lot of things but my favorite thing to do is play hockey. I play it all the time. I also collect baseball cards. I play hockey now and I am pretty good at it but I don't think I will make it to the NHL so I will probably just go to college and see what I'm best at. If I can, I would like to play, college hockey and get my masters degree. When I grow up I hope that the world will get rid of the leaders and all be like the USA. The people get treated better in America than Iraq or Germany when Hitler was a leader. I also think that in the future we will have to recycle because we'll have dumps in the back of our yard. One choice of stopping the leaders is for me to join the army and help stop them. I don't really want to do that though. I can set up protest groups, but that is not what I want to do either. So in the end I want to just be a regular person. --- CHRIS TARBOX My name is Chris Tarbox, and I am from Tupper Lake, New York. I am 11 years old and I am involved in a lot of sports. I am very concerned about the war. When I graduate from high school, I want to get a scholarship and go to college. Then I want to go to college for about four years. I want people to treat each other nicer in the future. I would like if people could be kinder and be more kind in what they say. They can treat other people like they would want to be treated. I also hope that the environment will get cleaner. And people will not litter so much. I can help improve the treatment of others by treating people nicer and treat them like I would want to be treated. And I can make the environment cleaner by not littering. --- ERIN SCHRYVER My anme is Erin Schryver. I'm 12 years old. I live in Tupper Lake. I'm in the sixth grade at L. P. Quinn Elementary School. I have two sisters Amy-26 and Jill-22). My interests are drawing, painting, sketching, etc. and I like playing musical instruments. I also like reading and playing all sorts of sports. When I become an adult, I would like to be a professional artist. I would like to go to college for this and make this goal come true. I would like to make this world better in the way we treat people so that nobody would make fun of someone's race, or handicapped etc. I would also like to change the way we treat our environment we share by conserving, recycling, and repairing. I would like to make these goals happen by getting in the habit to conserve, recyle, and repair. (I already draw and make posters. I love doing art projects.) --- JASON PRICE I am Jason David Price. I am 12 and I like to play Nintendo a lot. also play hockey. When I'm an adult, I would like to be either a doctor, a policeman, o a fireman. In other words, I want to help people. I would also want to go to college and I would like to be a father. When I'm an adult, I'd want the world to be peaceful and clean. I'd a policeman to stop fights and I definately wouldn't pollute. Right now, I don't know what I could do to make people treat each other better, but, to make the air cleaner, I won't pollute. --- CHRISTINA LA PLANTE I live in Tupper Lake, New York (Northern Adirondacks). I'm 12 years old, my hobbies are roller skating, hanging out with my friends, and going to the movies. I'm in 6th grade girl's basketball, I enjoy it very much. I' taking a computer class, right now I'm learning many keys. I also like that. When I'm older I'd like to do something that has to do with computers. I also would like to go to high school and then to college especially to a college close by where my parents live. I'd like the world to be better when I'm older in that I'd like to change the way people treat each other by having a group meet together and talk about how people mistreat each other and how to change the way they treat each other. I'd also like to change the way the environment is by also having a little group and talk about how we can save the environment. I'd also have something like a fund going on. I'd also like to have a raffle to help save the environment. I would like to improve the world by helping people who don't have as many things as I do by having funds and donations for those people and many more things. --- SHAMGAR CONNORS My name is Shamgar Connors, and I am 11 years old. I like to run around outside and experiment with electricity. When I am an adult, I want to be the head of the electirc company or something that has to do with electricity. I would like to go to Notre Dam College also. Also, when I'm an adult, I'll try to start a recycling product, make three different garbage dumps--one for food, one for aluminum, and one for glass. Right now I can help the environment by picking up litter and keeping people from littering. --- ANDY SHAW Hi, my name is Andrew Martin Shaw. I'm 11, my birthday is June 1, 1979. I was born in Oceanside California. When I was about one, I moved to Ohio where my sister, Colleen, was born in 1982. In 1986 I moved to Long Island, was there a year, and moved to Tupper Lake, NY where I am now. My favorite sport is probably downhill skiing, although, I like socce basketball, baseball, football, archery, fishing, campimg, hunting and ice skating. Some of my favorite hobbies are model building, electric trains, wood working and most hands on things. I play two different instruments, piano and trombone. Ever since kindergarden, I've had a straight A+ average and hope to continue with that through high school. When I grow up, I plan to go on to college, but I'm not sure what I want to be. Possibly a mechanical engineer, carpener, cook, or marine biologist. I think there isn't a ton of stuff I can do to improve the environmen or treatment of each other and it will keep getting worse and there will never be peace until God returns. --- BEN FARKAS My name is Benjamin Farkas. I am 12 years old. I enjoy building models, collecting football cards, and playing sports. I like to cross country ski, and play basketball and football. I live in Tupper Lake, NY. When I grow up I want to play college football for Notre Dame and hopefully be drafted for the NFL. But if I don't make it, I would like to be marine biologist. When I grow up, I would like the world to be a cleaner place with less pollution and that people will treat each other better than they do now. We could make this happen by cutting down on driving a lot like use a carpool and try to do things peacefully. I can reach my goal in life by practicing my dribbling and shooting and I can get away from my nintendo and tone my legs. --- TED DAY My anme is Ted Day. I live in Piercefield, NY, which is near Tupper Lake, NY. I'm 12 years old and I'm in sixth grade. I like to play various types of sports including hockey, baseball, and basketball. I want to be either an astronaut or a stealth pilot. I will have to to college for four years. I hope they find a way to clean up oil spills, air polluting, etc. I ho pe that there won't be any more battles. --- JENNIFER BASHANT Hi! My name is Jennifer Bashant and I am twelve years old. Some of my interests and hobbies are swimming, reading, drawing and collecting shells. I also like animals. One of my favorite animals is horses. In the winter I like to ski at the ski resort here in Tupper Lake. I have two sisters and one brother, I also have three cats. When I am an adult, I want to go to a good college and become a veterenarian. I also want to get married and have a few children. I think even when I'm older, I want to still live here in Tupper Lake. Some ways in which I want the world to be better when I'm older are that I wish many more people would quit smoking so that the air would be much cleaner and that the war in Iraq would be officially settled. Some things that I can do now to help make this happen are that I could never start smoking myself and I could try to encourage others to not start smoking or to quit smoking. --- BRIAN PLATT My name is Brian Platt, and I'm 11 years old. I like to collect baseball cards and coins. Some of the sports I like to play or do are: swimming, hockey, baseball, football, soccer, basketball and downhill skiing. I would like people to know what I look like, what I like to do and where I live. When I'm an adult I want to ba an architect and go to Harvard. Generally, I want to be well educated, have a good job and earn a lot of money. When I grow up, I would like pollution to be reduced a lot and for people to be nicer to each other and have crime reduced. To make this happen now, I will have to cut down on littering and keep myself out of trouble. --- MARK ROBILLARD My name is Mark Robillard. I'm 12 years old and in the 6th grade. I like sports such as baseball, football, and basketball. I like baseball the best. My favorite team is the L. A. Dodgers. Darryl Strawberry is my favorite baseball player. I like collecting baseball cards and I have a Willie Mays card that is worth $47. 00. I like football also. The Giants are my favorite team and I like Lawrence Taylor for the Giants. I like Michael Jordan too. I play Little League and I like to draw. When I'm an adult, I want to be a cartoonist and draw cartoons for the paper. I like Garfield and Dennis the Menace. I draw cartoons now. I want to go to a good artist college--one that's good for cartooning. When I get older, I want the pollution to stop. Also I don't want wa like there is now. What I can do to this now is practice drawing cartoons. Some day I will become a cartoonist. I will not pollute and maybe the world will be a better place to live in the future. If you see comics by Mark Robillard, you will know it's me. --- JOSEPH MAHR My name is Jonathan Joseph Mahr. I am eleven years old. My birthday is October 23. Most people in my class like sports, but I don't. I do, however, like coin collecting and collecting stuffed animals. I have two pets. One belongs to me completely, a parakeet. The other is the whole family's--an ll year old cat named Paws. When I grow up I think I want to be an architect. The way I thought of this job was moving. We moved into a fixer-upper and had to design an entirely new kitchen. Even though I don't like school I think I want to go to college. The reason is my father says I would probably need to go to become an architect. I think the world could be better if everyone treated everyone with respect. There is no reason for prejudice because everyone is the same. If everyone took better care of the environmnet, everything could live together. Everyone can be kind to other people and recycle. I can and will be nice to others and can and will recycle. It's easy. --- MELISSA MALERBA Hi my name is Melissa Malerba. I am 11 years old. Some of the things I like to do are playing basketball, ice-skating, swimming, and playing most sports. I live in Tupper Lake, New York. I am in sixth grade and have very nice teachers. I go to school at L. P. Quinn Elementary School. When I am an adult, the things I want to do are go to college for a better education, and study for a modeling career or a high school teacher. But I would rather be a model. I would like to live in a big house, get married and have kids. When I grow up I would like the world to be better by no littering, n graffity all over the place and no violence. I wish there was a cure for all diseases that people get. Some of the things I would like to stop is drunk driving. --- KRISTI SYLVAIN Hi! My name is Kristi Sylvain. I am 12 years old.

A few of them are playing basketball, watching hockey and football games, and reading. I also like to cook and watch TV. When I am an adult, I want to go to college. I will get my degree an become a veterinarian. I want to be a veterinarian because I really love animals and I like working with them. I don't know if I could stand seeng some of the animvals die though. I want the world to be better by all of the homeless having homes and having food and clothing. There will be peace and everybody will love each other the way they should. I would like it if people were not so greedy and instead gave to others less fortunate than they are. To help the world right now, I could clean up litter and garbage alon the roads and I could help with the oil spills. --- PAUL AUCLAIR Hi! My name is Paul Auclair. I'm 11 years old. I am from Tupper Lake, New York. I am 27 miles away from Lake Placid where the 1980 Olympics were held. I play a few sports, some of them are: hockey, basketball, cross country skiing and football. When I get to be an adult, I would like to be a pro Hockey player or a carpenter. When I grow up I hope we won't be fighting with other countries and we would not get in fights between ourselves. To make this happen, we could make stuff and kill Sadam Hussein to stop the war. Or we could put him in jail, prison, for his life once we get a hold of him. --- JASON MANN My name is Jason Mann, I am 12 years old and I like to play football, basketball, and soccer which are my favorite sports. I like to Genesis in my spare time. I'm really concerned about the war in the Middle East. I hope it ends soon without many people getting hurt. Another matter that worries me is the pollution of the planet. I think we should all start recycling and getting involved in these kinds of matter. I also like to go hunting and fishing with my father. In the summer I like to rollerblade with my friends. When I am an adult I would like to have a job that concerns science. I would like to make enough money to support a family with every thing it needs. This job would have to be something I enjoy and something that wouldn't do any harm to the environment. Before I would have this job, I would like to go to a good college and get a good education. When I am an adult I would like everyone to be environmentally concerned about the planet and I would like it if there was world peace. I would want every country to treat it's people equally. I can help clean up the planet now by recycling and not littering or polluting. I can also encourage my friends to do the same. I can do good in school now so that I can do even more as an adult. --- KEENAN DELEHANTY Hi! My name is Keenan Delehanty, I am twelve years of age. Some of my hobbies are skiing, skate boarding, and drawing. When I'm old enough, I would like to be a pilot of an F15 Eagle, I pl to go to Notre Dame College. I think we should be more self conscious of the way we treat our environment, for instance, our usage of fossil fuels is well over the limit. If we could create a better fuel, it would cut pollution in half. People should realize that pollution is killing our world. --- PHILIP KAVANAGH My name is Philip Kavanagh and I am 11 years old and in sixth grade. I like to go to the movies and hang out with my friends. When I get older, I would like to be a Marine Biologist and attend any major college. I would like to try to find a safer way try to transport oil spills. When I get olde I would like the world to be peaceful and safe from drugs and war. I think this could be accomplished by raising fines and having people cooperate with the law. --- KYLE BUTTON Hello! My name is Kyle Button, I am 11 years old. I like to collect baseball cards, my most valuable one is worth $50.00. I downhill ski. Iive in Tupper Lake, NY, it as about three hours north of Syracuse, NY. I would like to go to college at the University of Notre Dame. Maybe play college football for them. I do not really know what I want to be when I grow up. When I'm an adult, I want there to be world peace and I hope that our environment will be cleaned up by then. I can do this by recycling and telling people about things that we can do to stop all of the conflicts between the countries. My goal in life is to be successful and hopefully have a family. I do not want to live in a city, I do not like a lot of peopl around one area. I would like the war in the Gulf to cease and Saddam Hussein to pull out of Kuwait. --- DANIELLE MARQUIS Hi! My name is Danielle Marquis and I am from Tupper Lake, NY. I am 12 years old and in the sixth grade at L.P. Quinn Elementary School. I like to water ski and snow ski. I also enjoy snowmobiling and skating. I have brown hair , hazel eyes and glasses. My two favorite sports are skiing and basketball. I also love cats (just thought I'd mention that.) When I am an adult I want to be a veternarian. I want to go to a college and medical schoool. I would like to go to PRINCETON, YALE, HARVARD, or CORNELL UNIVERSITY. I would like to work in our town (TUPPER LAKE) but I wouldn't mind working somewhere else. I think we should try and understand other people's point of views instead of always assuming we are always right so that we can improve the treatment of each other. I also think we should recycle instead of just waiting for trash to dissappear. We should also have compost piles and recycling bins instead of trash cans everywhere. To make these things happen I will try and listen to others views instead of just my own . To clean up our earth I will start a compost pile and I will recycle other trash. - - - - -
