More will follow. WHO AM I? Hi! My name is Veronica Ramirez. I'm 12 years old and I am from Argentina. I presently live in Paterson, New Jersey. My birthday is on October 19, 1978. I go to Public School 18 and I am in the Seventh Grade. There are six people in my family: my mother and father, two brothers, my sister and me! Hi, my name is Nadiyah Ramona Strawbridge. I live in Paterson, New Jersey and I'm Afro-American. I'm 12 years old. I like to sing, go bike riding and I also like to go swimming. I love to go out to different places! I am Miguel Duran. I am in School Number 18. I am 12 years old and I am in the 7th Grade. I was born on June 26, 1978. I am from Paterson, New Jersey (that is in the United States). I am happy to be a kid. I am Michele Papagni and I am in the 7th Grade. I like people and I am fun. I'm 12 years old and my teacher is Mrs. Iskenderian. I like to draw and I like to be friends with everyone. I live in Paterson, New Jersey. WHAT DO I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP? Veronica-I don't really know what I'll become when I grow up. I really have many thoughts in mind. A few of my choices are among the following careers: a lawyer, a teacher , a pediatric specialist or anything useful for people in the world! Ramona-When I grow up I either want to be a nurse or a teacher. If I become a nurse, I want to be a professional one because they make good money. It is very hard for me to choose between being a nurse or being a teacher because I really love working with young children, but teachers hardly make enough money. I want to make good money because when I have children, I want them to have a very good childhood. When they're older I want them to remember all the fun they had when they were growing up! Miguel-When I grow up I want to be a lawyer. I wanted to be a doctor, but it takes too long. Instead, I decided to be a lawyer, make good money and have a great life. Michele-When I grow up, I am going to be a pediatrician because I like kids. I like playing with them and working with them. HOW DO I WANT THE WORLD TO BE BETTER WHEN I GROW UP? Veronica-I want our world to be a pleasant place to be. I hate wars and killings of animals. If this keeps up, the world for kids like us will be a piece of scrap in the future. Ramona-I want the world to be free of drug sellers and drug users. I want the world to be clean. I want the world to have no violence and I would like everyone to be kind. I would like to have no homeless people in the world and everybody to make a fair amount of money. Miguel-I want to world to be better by stopping all the fighting, wars and violence. If it doesn't stop, there will be no future for us at all. Michele-I want the world to be a better place. I don't want to have drugs in the world or violence or killing. WHAT CAN I DO NOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? Veronica-We should promote world peace. We should recycle, avoid pollution and keep our land fertile and green. If we want this dream to come true, I should be one of the first people to start. Ramona-Right now I don't think that I could do one thing! I'm a young person and I don't think that adults would listen to me talk about making a change in this world. What I can do is talk to my peers and the other students in my community, after all, we are the future! Miguel-I would try to become the first youngest president in United State's history. Then I would be able to stop all the damage in the USA and the rest of the world. Michele-I would strive to stop everyone from using drugs and drinking. No one needs drugs. They just want them.
