DAILY JOURNAL Break-O-Day Elementary Third grade Rachel LeJeunesse If I were president of the United States of America By Kiersten Achs I love presidents but I think they should give up their jobs and let me be president. I think I should be president because I will rule the country. I would rule the country and I would say “every single person that has school should have homework only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, but not Thursday or Friday.” Also, I would rule the country by don’t litter because it could cause pollution and pollution could make the animals die. That is why I want to rule the country. Also I want to be president because I could live in the White House. When I am done working I would like to take a 45-minute break and swim in the pool, watch a movie and play tennis. Also when I live in the White House my mom and dad won’t tell me when I have to tell me when to go to bed. I would stay up until I get tired. That is what I would do if I lived in the White House. By the way, I am going to turn the White House into a yellow house. Also I need to tell you that my favorite president is Abe Lincoln. My favorite president is Abe because he helped the slaves go free. Also, Abe died when the slavery ended but you showed other people to do a good thing. That is why my favorite president is Abe Lincoln. That is why I want to be president of the USA. Watch out presidents, I am going to be a president like you. Why my mom and dad are so great By JaShandeep Sing Barn My mom is awesome because she takes care of me all the time. Also she is very nice. My dad rocks because he is very funny and fun. He makes me laugh a lot. He is strong. My mom works so hard every day. She’s like a machine. My mom and dad love me more than anything. My mom used to go at work. Me and my brother miss her a lot. She quit her job so she could make us happy. My dad works so hard at work to make money. He is a truck driver. When he gets money he gives us lots of coins. He sometimes gives us dollars when we are very very good. I like when we get dollars. Sometimes when I am good at school I get ten dollars. When he gets money he gets us a toy. Isn’t that amazing. My mom cooks awesome stuff for dinner. It is very very tasty. My dad cooks delicious chicken. In the mornings I sometimes eat an omelet with bread that my mom makes. My mom teaches me lots of things like not to lie or don’t be mean to people, don’t forget to do your homework. Also my dad does it too. He teaches me lots of things. They teach me manners.

Junior Journal 2016 If I were president of the United States of America By James Beckner If I were the President I would ban smoking. I would ban it because it makes people sick and when people get sick it only means that other people will get sick. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. Because he stopped slavery and he led the war and if that stuff was still going on it would be so bad and if we still had slavery it would be so bad we would not have seen most of the people we know. Why my mom and dad are so great By Mackenzie Bowen They got me a puppy that I wanted. And they did my chores, too. And I got a photograph of my cousins that I never saw before. And my parents got me a dress for their wedding. It was so fun. And my parents got me a new book bag, too. And my mom and got me just D and S 2015. I get on it a lot. If I were president of the United States By Julie Buskirk If I were president of the United States I would let all my family and a few friends live in the White House. We would go swim, bowl, and watch movies every day. I would provide them plenty of food, water and sturdy shelter. We would agree on laws together. The laws we would make are: 1. All violence would stop; and 2. It is illegal to smoke. The presidents I like the most are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The reason I like them is because they were both great leaders and Abraham Lincoln declared no slavery. Of course, presidents have to have certain qualities. I think I would be able to become president because I am very trustworthy. This is what I would do if I became president. If I were president of the United States By Dakota Calloway If I were president of the United States of America I will do whatever I can to make the country a better place. Abraham Lincoln was the tallest president at six feet four inches and the first to wear a beard. Born: February 12, 1809, near Hodgeville, Kentucky. He only went to school for one year. He taught himself by reading books. He worked as a lawyer. He was married to Mary Todd. He became our president in 1861. During his presidency be led the way to end slavery. His first goal was to bring peace to the country and to bring the country back together. After starting his second term he was assassinated while watching a play at Ford’s Theatre by John Wilkes Booth. Many people say he’s one of the greatest presidents. I say Abraham Lincoln was self smart. I say this because he had one year schooling and he read any book he could. He became a master of the English language and a lawyer.

Qualities of a president are a leader, to be smart, to be trustworthy and helpful to America, the people and other countries. Why my mom and dad are so great By Marcus Condon My mom and dad taught me how to talk. My mom and dad play in the rain with us. Mom helps you learn how to cook. Dad teaches funny jokes. They take funny pictures with us. They ask you about your day. They never forget your birthday. They try their best to make me smile. Mommy is going to school to help our family. They tell me that they are very proud of the man I am becoming. They tell you to never give up on new things. Moms and dads do work so they can spend more time with you when they are home. They are teaching me things I need to know when I am grown up. They try to answer all your questions. They make you healthy food. They teach you how to spell. They get you new toys on Christmas and on your birthday. They help you when you are sick. They make forts with you and have fun with you. They have jobs to earn money to pay taxes and bills and food to help the family. They take bike rides with you. They help you stay healthy and active. They watch football with you and have fun with you. They pay school fees and field trip money. Why my mom and dad are so great By Nicholas Imlay My mom is awesome because she takes me to Rascal’s and we ride go-carts. We play games like bowling. We drive boats and spray people. My mom is awesome because she takes me to parties and we play. We have picnics there and we go swimming there too. She is awesome because she cooks us food. She has a job so she can take care of me. She wakes me up for school so I don’t miss the bus. She is great because she makes good food. She takes me places and she takes me out to eat when I am hungry. House of the Future By Garrett Feasel My house of the future would be an L shape. It is as big as a mansion. It would have a football field, a basketball court, a mini basketball hoop, a big pool and a big big yard. The garage would have a repair shop. When I flush the toilet and walk out of the door it leads to my bale. When I flush the toilet again it leads back to my house. What a house of the future will look like By Libby Hagan A future house would look like a big steel 2-story house and I would be living there. I would put in my future house millions of things like a really big couch and an ocean blue vase. My house would be pink steel. My room would be the biggest. I would have the biggest house in my neighborhood. The cover of my bed would be purple. I would live in it by myself.

3 I would have a trampoline in my house and never bump my head. I would watch TV all the time on my big flat screen TV. I would also have a bookcase and a lot. If I were president of the United States By Abigail Harris If I were president of the United States of America I would help change the country by having more fundraisers to donate to charity. Also so people have houses and food. Also I would help change by lowering down money so if people need stuff it can be cheap. I would help by letting the people choose what they want but there can be only people that are good, so bad things can not do any damage to our country. Finally, they way I would run the country very well so if you think this is good reasons for having a president because I would keep this country together and, I wonder why girls are not president; only boys are why do you think that is? The person who inspires me was Abraham Lincoln because he ended slavery and that he cept on trying to run for president when he was younger and never gave up. Also he was the first president that was assassinated and there was only one thing that really got remember of that day. Also is really stuck out to me that when he was a boy no one really knew him and he was poor but he was president everyone and thing that stuck was that he was not know than it hit him with popularity and it is still happening today that Abe is popular. Plus Lincoln did a big, big thing history and I mean a big thing that he had stopped slavery forever and that is why Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president ever. The qualities a good president have are good records. Also a lot of people who like them so they an because a president also people who they think that they would do good things for this country. Plus, presidents’ qualities a good personality and people like presidents who normally have a very serious side and a funny side not just a serious side all the time. Good presidents also need to be very skilled of being president because you don’t want a president who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Also they need to know how to act professional because they would have to go to a lot of meetings all over the country. This is what I would do if I was the president. What would you do if you’re president? Why my mom and dad are so great By Steven Magness My mom and dad are great because they help and explain my homework each night. When I am sick they take care of me. Why my mom and dad are so great By Cameron Martin My mom and dad I think are the best because they buy me toys and take me to the monster jam and they play with me and feed me and they put a roof over me and food on the table and they buy me clothes

and take us to the doctor when I am sick and they drive me to school and they give me money and my mom lets me sleep with my dad and they let me stay up late. And they let me do stuff with my friends. House of the Future By Brian Miller I would have some posters hanging up on my wall, comic books, farinale, animals. A triangled house big as a castle. My friends Evan, Steven, Steve, Sett , my wife, tye. Toys, jewels, books, like Peter Pan, Spiderman, turtles, Phienabie. What does the fox say, fire truck, monsters Inc., giant book, toy story, finding nemo. BMO is a popagure that is going to be in my future house. I would put the state flag of the United States of America!!! I will put up a picture of Sherrder on my future wall. I will have a big TV. I will have nice friends who care about me like Evan. They all get to live in my house. Inside the house 20 feet far and it is 30 feet long. My future house will be five hundred feet tall. If I were president of the United States By Ashlynn Roberts If I were president of the United States I would make the world a better place. I would make a law that there is to be no people in the world.

I would also make the world a more fun and joyful place. I would make more playgrounds and parks for kids to run around and stay fit and active. I would be a good president maybe if I tried hard enough. But I don’t exactly know because the president has a really hard job. He (or she) has to run the whole entire country. The U.S.A.! It would be really, really, really hard. It would probably take a while but I will eventually get used to being in charge of all of the peoples’ situations and problems in the world. Being president may sound like fun but it’s really hard. I think being president is a once in a lifetime opportunity and being it’s fun but tough. House of the Future By JJ Rowland This is what a house of the future would look like. It would have a remote that if you choose a channel it would play the channel. By Alyssa Ruse Why my mom and dad are so great My mom is so cool because she lets me paint with her paint. My mom is so cool because she lets us stay the night at our friends’s house or we could just stay for a little. My mom is so cool because she sometimes coaches us on baseball and softball.

My mom is so cool because she loves us. My mom is so cool because she gives us a house. And the best thing about my mom is that she does not spoil us. Why my mom and dad are so great By Landen Steele My mom and dad are so great because. When I was sick they help you get better. When you run fevers they give you medicine to get better. They buy all kinds of toys for you. One time I was buying Karan Jarens Disney Infinity figure but I didn’t Have enough and they stepped in and gave 5000 for me so I could buy him. They also loved you when you’re sad. They comfort you and make you better. One time I was sad it was my last day at Clark Elementary and we were eating Hardees and I was sad and they loved on me. That’s why I think my mom and dad are so great. If I were president of the United States By Sabiha Thind Have you ever wondered about being the president of the United States? Well, I have. I would be addressed as president Sabiha. Kids and adults will like me being president. I love all kids and adults even if they are different. I think all are equal. If I were president this is what I will do to help. I will help people who are homeless or

DAILY JOURNAL on the streets and begging for money. I will give them food and a house to live in. People who are jobless, I will give them a good job. Also if I were president I would give money to people in hospitals if they could not afford money to help their family member. I have a ton of favorite presidents. But my most favorite is Abraham Lincoln because he ended slavery. He has done a big impact on the whole world. Everyone is following that rule. Abraham Lincoln has led the most important war, the Civil War. They have won their freedom and made freedom for everyone. Everyone who is a president should have good qualities, not bad qualities. If I were president I would have a ton of qualities. One of my qualities would be to be nice. Others would be helpful and kindness. These are going to be my qualities. I would love to be a president and be called President Sabiha. This is why I, Sabiha Thind, would want to be a president, if I could be one. House of the Future By Elijah Yaryan My house of the future would look like a sports car. I would put lots of car pictures, model cars, and other car related stuff. My car house will also have a race car bed and

a racing simulator. I will have fun at my new house! I will also have a game room which features games, a computer, drawing pencils, crayons, markers, and paper. I would have my brother, my friends, and all the racing people who drive various cars such as F1, Formula e, world endurance and all others. How big it would be is as tall and big as the Children’s Museum! I will take their cars and put them in my house for a car museum. Then, if they need to get their cars for different reasons, we have a portable garages that opens vertically. I would also invite my mom and dad to live here. It will have 3 big bedrooms, a car museum, and a game room! There will also be a waiting room where anyone will wait for the museum to open. That’s all! House of the Future By Annabelle White My future house would have a lot of marvelous items in it. The house would include may spectacular rooms of all kinds. I would make it a huge mansion. It would have 17 rooms and 5 bathrooms. My favorite room is the gym. The gym is full of exercise equipment like yoga mats and pull-up bars. There would also be a screen that I would watch exercise videos on. The exercise room helps me keep fit. The next room is the toy room. Boxes and bins line the wall from floor to ceiling. The

play room is connected to the play room. In the play room you will find a gigantic table stretching across the back. We play board games like Monopoly and Chutes & Ladders on it. The next room is the art room, my second favorite room. When I am not keeping fit, I like to draw. The materials I draw with are stored in bins next to an aqua colored desk the size of a door that has five big drawers. Next to the art room and across from the gym lies a door that leads to a room with walls as pink as wild strawberries. This mysterious room is one of the prettiest rooms in the house, my room! Inside next to the bed that has covers of deep purple, there stands a statue of a gorgeous princessholding a violet-colored tray. A cup, a book and three magnificent glow in the dark fairies are on the tray. They stand out spectacularly against the walls of pink. In my future house I would treat visitors with comfortable care. At the end of the hall there is a room for guests. It is not as fancy as the other rooms but it is comfortable. Everything, even the lamp, is white. The friend room is like a miniature house. You will find a table for two, a refrigerator, some books and toys to make your stay a comfortable one. In the middle of the house is an indoor stadium where you can play a selection of different sports.

If you are hungry you might find the dining room an extraordinary place to eat. When you’re waiting for your food to come, you can look at the beautiful fish in the gigantic aquarium built in the wall. The food gets cooked in the kitchen. If you walk in, a marvelous aroma will meet your nose. In the center of the kitchen, you will find a beautiful garden with the most delicious herbs and berries you could ever imagine. On the other side of the house is a gigantic living room. It has 15 arm chairs and 7 couches and a giant television attached to a wall. The walls are painted tumble weed and the ceiling sky blue. The welcome room is the least fancy room in the house. It is not painted and the only thing on the wall are coat hangers. The only fancy thing is a mat on the floor that says welcome.

floor will be blue. The swimming pool will have a girls bathroom that is pink and a boys bathroom that is blue. The walkway around the pool will be cement. The roof of the room will be pure glass. It will form a square. Also he pool will form a heart and the pool will be dyed red. Also the ladders to get in the pool will be gray or black. Next, my house would be the shape of a triangle, square or a rectangle. If it was a triangle the color would be orange. If it was a square, it would be purple and if it was a rectangle it would be blue. If my house was a triangle it would be 50 feet high and 20 feet long. If it was a square it would be 50 feet tall and 50 feet long. And finally, if it was a rectangle it would be 50 feet long and 15 feet tall. In the house would live me, my mom, my dad, my friends and my dog and cat. That is what my future house would be!

I also would like a swing so I can swing. If I Were President By Reagan Hill If I were president of the United States of America, I would like to change the following rules. The rules that I would change are going to be about school and how to make it better. My first rule that I would change is for the teachers to stop giving their students homework because the kids already spend eight hours at school working on schoolwork. Also, I know that they don’t want to come home to even more schoolwork when they get home from school. Another rule that I want to change is that school lunches should be free for any child. One reason is that some people don’t have the money to buy lunches every day. The second reason is that schools already have enough money so they don’t need more money from school lunches that they offer. The next rule I would like to change is for the students to not take so many tests. One reason that students should not take so many tests is that students will get stressed out. Another reason students should not take so many tests is students study too hard and then end up

failing the test, which makes them upset. The last rule that I would like to change is giving the students shorter recess. One reason is if student stay out for a long time, they soon get bored. All these rules I would like to change if I were president of the United States of America to help the schools and the students. My Mom and Dad are Great By Audrey Duckworth My mom and dad are so awesome because they know what to have and say the right thing to pick the best toy. My mom and dad help me with homework/weekly writing. But my dad and mom are the best dad and mom! My mom cooks for my family and my dad helps us with our phones, computer and TV. My mom and dad are the best and my mom took me to the store sometimes. My dad is so cool to me. We fix my dad’s car. Wow. My mom and dad are the best! My Future House By Shayne Thompson If I owned a house of the future I would have it all weird. It would look kind of like one shoe at the bottom and like of bunch of high heels in the middle. On the right it would look like the head of a big T-rex and it has little points that look like teeth. One the

I have a sloth-shaped bed and little holes that I can look through to see who is at my house and bed, it hovers. The bottom up to the bowling alley, which is at the top. The dinosaur is a wipeout place. It is awesome. That is what my future house would look. Mom and Dad are Great By Ava McGinnis My mom and dad are great at doing dishes because they set good examples for me. Like how to scrub the dishes. Then at dinner once I eat my dinner, I get ice cream. We get all kinds of flavors, like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and all those flavors. When my parents tell me to clean my room, I go do it and my parents come and help. When I say Can I clean the studio, they say I can clean the studio that has cars and a lot of toys in it. When I ask if I can vacuum they say yes, that I can vacuum the house. I ask if I can do it every day and they say yes I can.

dogs, cats, lizards. On the outside, it would look like a modern home. It would be made of bricks, wood and mirrored glass. The mailboxes are made of titanium. The inside would look like a science lab. The stove would voice command and it would cook what you wanted with no limitations. The could would hover and would have voice command massage mode. All the game consoles would be voice activated and have special suits to activate the games. In my opinion, that’s what I believe the future house would be like. If I Were President By Caelen Norris-Grayson If I were president of the United States of America, I would make these changes. First I would change that our food companies stop putting chemicals in our food. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he freed slaves. A president should have these qualities, honesty, loyalty, respectful, smart, happy, funny, serious, careful, and loving. As president, I would take out all chemicals in school too because it’s unhealth7y. As president, I would want water to be clean and healthy. Another thing I would do as president would be to make Minecraft for the wii. I would also lower the price of wii u. I would make Minecraft story mode for the wii and DS. I would make

Minecraft for the 3DS and DS. Being president is a very important job because you have to approve a lot of papers and do a lot of paperwork. If I Were President By Carmen Wilhite If I was president of the United States of America I will fight for freedom for the entire world. I will teach my fellow Americans to treat others with respect. I will show them tat it is okay to be different and look different because on the inside we are all the same. I will pray with my fellow Americans and encourage them to put God first in their lives. I will allow prayer back in all of our schools. I will use my own money to feed and shelter the homeless. My favorite president is the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln because he stood up for his fellow Americans and put a stop to slavery. Abraham Lincoln knew we are all the same on the inside. I think I would make a great president because I have positive leadership skills. I have a voice and I will be heard. If I Were President By Brody Brown If I were president I would change some of the laws. I would not let other people boycott other people. If I was president I

would talk to a lot of other people like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I would be brave and use my words. I would say my words in a nice way so people don’t get mad and hurt others or be disrespectful. If I were president I would find a wife and marry her. I would like to have at least two children. If I were president I would want to be like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Martin was a person who used his words and was not afraid to use them so I want to be like Dr. Martin Luther Kind Jr. I love using kind, nice words that people would be proved and understand my words. I would like to be elected to be president. If I was elected to be president I would scream my lungs off. I would make up laws and other kind things so people would be nice and not hurt others. I like to be nice and others to be nice for their lives and that would go on forever until someone doesn’t do that stuff and be nice. My Future House By Jackson Sutherland I think future houses will be in creative shapes and have fingerprints doors that open by themselves. I bet you the houses will have elevators that will take you to the roof and there will be an area where it’s glass under your feet and whey you look down there will be an aquarium full of colorful fish. And they will have robot assistant to

help with people who have disabilities like helping them go upstairs and open doors then during the night it will read your mind and change the lighting so it will make you comfortable and when you wake up the robots will lay out the stuff you need to make your favorite clothes. And while you’re gone, the robots will help clean up your house like vacuuming it. That is what I think future houses will look like. My Future House By Jackie Jablonski My future house would be a 50 stories high skyscraper. My parents would have five floors all to their self. My room would be on an indoor balcony with a diving board with a slide unit a pool. The house would also have two movie theaters with a 20 foot wide projector screen. A bowling alley in each bedroom. We have our own private closets filled with grocery items. But there is so many rooms, it’s like each room is a new place. We would have a butler to answer the door and a maid to clean the house. We would have an art gallery throughout the skyscraper we would have two cats to make sure the cats do not get lost in the house, there is a full water and food bowl in every single room. In the kitchen, there is a diner countertop with stools that swivel. Then on the next floor, there would be a dance party with a choco-

Last, there would be a 20 foot long hall and the hall would be made out of rocks and have gems sticking out and at the end of the hall is all the people in my family’s birthstones. Those are just some of the details of my future home. If I Were President By Isabelle Allen If I were president of the United States of America I would make more reserved areas for animals and I would make sure dogs will be treated fairly and cats will be treated fairly also. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he stopped slavery and was very tall. If I was president I would need to be honest, fair, kind hard-working, confident and brave! That is what I would do as president. Oh yeah, and big should out too Mrs. Ray. She was an amazing teacher. Anyway, I hope I encouraged you to become a great president. P.S I want everyone to have a happy life. I’m going to wrap it by saying “Good Bye and thank you for reading/listening to me.” My Future House By Brayden Cantrell A house of the future will look like space.

One part of the house will have no gravity and it will make the whole house float above the ground. Another part of the house has an escape pod just in case something bad happens. The third part of the house has solar panels as a roof for electricity. The fourth part of the house has invisible walls so nobody breaks in. Another part of the house has combinations on the front and back doors. The sixth part of the house has a security camera in every room in the house and it has a security room. Another part of the house has automatic doors so you don’t have to open them. The eighth part of the house has a lever that turns off everything. Another part of the house has robot maids that get what ever you want and the maids will get stuff really fast. The last part of the house has automatic going paths that go everywhere so you don’t have to walk. These details tell you what I think a house in the future like space. My Future House By Kyler Nguyen I think that a future house would be floating in the sky and that the house would be made out of aluminum instead of wood, metal, stone or bricks because in the future, why would people make their houses out of those materials when you have aluminum. And it would protect you from enemies or bullets or anything! You should build your

house out of aluminum and it’s lighter than most other metals. And in modern days, houses are built on ground. Why not make the whole house float and I think it would be cool to have a house floating in the air and I think you should get to your house with a jetpack or an awesome big spaceship and you can make robots with lasers protect your house instead of a dog and you can have robots help you do things. And a beaming hovering ray would hold your house up. That is what I think a future house would look like. I will put chairs, tables, a TV, desks, mattresses, couches, a Statue of Liberty or the Space Needle. My house’s shape would be a sphere at the bottom and a triangle at the top. It would be 3,000 square feet. My brother, dad, mom, cousins, nieces , uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas and me. My Future House By Ethan Boone If I were to invent/design a future house, I would make it high tech and huge. So the basics of the shapes of the house is like a rectangle at the bottom. For upstairs a square. The third floor a triangle with a flat top. The floor would be a rectangle that goes to 30 feet up with a 400 foot patio. And me, my brother and a couple of my friend would live in the house but the area of the house would be around 130,000

square feet, 15 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms. A man cave. And the living room where we invented sun and the time machine and super power we would give ourselves super power for good. We could save the world from war, pain and hatred. Finally,. there would be people and earth and seven heroes when save it would 1 octillion dollars whatever they wanted but that was kid of topic that is what I think a future house would be like. And what I would do with it. Thank you Mrs. Ray from Break-O-Day. My Future House By Jayden Kindsoven I think in the future, houses would be floating or would be bigger, larger. Some would have playgrounds. Bullet-proof not breakable. roft grounds. Movable bouncy have very big coasters. And come with robots thow you to fly no back flips. No stays on the floors, metal walls, unlock pickable locks. Have gas pumps on the side of the house for service. That’s what I think houses would be like. The end. My Future House By Peyton Land If I built a house in the future this is what it would look like. It would be a trapezoid shape. There would be four stories and a basement.

It has 1,028 boxes and totes and one light. It is also filled with spider webs. Me and my family would live in this house of the future. Mom and Dad are Great By Sophia Whitten My mom and dad are so great. They

inspire me in many ways. My mom went to college to because a nurse when we moved to Indiana. My dad gets to travel for his training and gets to go places because he is doing a great job. They help me to succeed. My dad helps me out with sports. My mom helps me out with school projects. They are so nice. They take me places. My mom snuggles me when I’m not feeling good and my dad let’s me snuggle him too! My parents are the best because of these reasons and many more. My Parents are Great By Shelby Armstrong If my parents were so great they would take me to the beach, races, Sky Zone because I will beg them. And I would get to go to Dairy Queen, McDonald’s. Then I would get a new play toy to play with. We would go to get our nails done and we would go swimming. We would also say a good thank you and go do some more fun at a pool. And we will go to swim practice and basketball games so my brother will learn. That is why if my parents were the best.

So if the other real picture gets to up. I will help the state be protect from robbers and from other states like Russia and more. I would like to be president because I would be a good one because I would help the country and it would help you with your bank account. And some kids would have what they would like for Christmas and stuff like anything they would like, like hover board. Never mind, they would like what they would like. Let’s just make up a name. Corbin. Corbin wants a lot of stuff but his mom says I barely have any money in the bank. So you just have 100 dollars in the bank, so it cost 100 dollars to see the present and you can get more money from the president. My Future House By Samson Turner My house in the future will be a self-cleaning house. The robots don’t use double AAs, they use car batteries. The batteries charge for two hours. The robots can pick up stuff up to 15 tons. So it can pick up everything! The robots can pick up the couches. The house has 10 TVs. There is 10 rooms, each room has one TV in it, X-box and give X-box 360. There is actually 33

rooms. There is five bathrooms and five living rooms and 10 extra rooms and two storage rooms and one porch. There is dark wood tiles on the floor, black roof and white walls.

Break-O-Day Elementary Fourth grade Sarah Ambler Nice House There By Jackson Lucas Have you ever wondered what the future house will look like? Here is my prediction. The world around us is making people lazy so what if we had escalator stairs? Or an elevator? Some people don’t like doing laundry or making dinner, so each house you buy there is a offer for a robot maid just $100. But anyway, let’s stop talking about laziness because I might be offending other people. When you walk in there will be a remote by the door that actually changes the shape of your house! You know how everybody wishes they had clap on and clap off lights? Well this house has just that! I don’t think many people want color changing fire in their fireplace but this house has that. Maybe some of you ask this question. How big is the house? Most people would probably say it’s as big as a castle. Since so many people say they look like a castle

they said they would have a limited time offer that if you bought a house you would get a free throne. The house also has a remote-controlled roofing system! I hope you have enjoyed what comes to my mind when thinking about what the future houses could possibly look like. I forgot to mention the price. Just $299.99! Let’s talk about the house of the future! By Tanupreet Kaur In my point of view houses in the future would look more detailed than the houses today. They would be a little cleaner on the outside and amazing on the inside! They would also be a little more expensive. They’d be a lot bigger, approximately fivehundred to six-hundred square feet. I would want many more to be built for free only for the poor people in need. All houses would get basements for safety in case a tornado forms (no extra cost). They would also have the same comfort a regular home has. For the kids (like me!) they would have a built in pool table to play when your bored and a pool in the backyard right there when I (or you) move in! Including a huge trampoline and ice-skating rink! Now that’s my idea of fun in my future house! It would also have two or three extra rooms for pets, guests, storage or anything else. Oh, and another really important detail

Will they turn out how I imagined? Would they be a lot bigger? Would the prices go up or down? Would every poor person finally have a home? Like I said, “What do you think?” What a house of the future would look like By Destiny Summitt In my opinion I think a house of the future would look like a UFO. It will be round and have a ring around it. Mine would be light purple and aqua green. The top floor would have nine rooms. The kitchen, one bedroom, 4 bathrooms, an indoor pool, a spa and a living room. In the kitchen there would be an island and that would be where you prepare food. There would also be a pantry where you put all the dry food. There would also be cabinets, a refrigerator and a freezer. The first bedroom would be my room, and it would have all pastel colors in it. The bathroom would belong to the bedroom. The pool and spa would be in the same room. The living room would be vintage style. The ring around it would be for storage. It would also have stairs and a hallway. The bottom floor would have five rooms. A den/garage/game room, a daycare because

It will have an L shape couch and lot’s of furniture. I will live there with my nine girls Nicole, Athena, Ally, Amber, gabby, Audree, Janie, Joy and Cristy and my two boys Nick and Jake.

I would be a vet and a designer. I would have a lot of party’s, and I would be rich. A billion dollars a week is what I would get paid. It would be awesome.

12 around when ever you what and did I mention you get to go to the White House? Want to know why? Because your president of the USA. Hello, my name is Jon McCoy (not kidding) and I’m the president of the USA. I’m talking to you from the White House in Washington. As we speak I’m sending my army to go to war with China because there making a hydrogen bomb and they might drop it on the USA. If you’re a great president you should be like the one and only George Washington. He was the best president ever. For example George fought in the Revolutionary War and he won! Also you should be like me because I’m sharp, smart, intelligant and bright. These are the best qualities for a president! Want to know why? Because they all help you when you need to make a quick decision. Like choosing to drop a nuke on ISIS or keep the aliens a secret on Area 51. Imagine being able to do whatever you want in the whole world. But first you have to calm down the people of the USA or deal with protesters.

The new house will have a sky view, and something that has not been invented yet … a room-a-vator. It is a room that moves up and down like an elevator and it does not even feel like you are moving. There are many improvements to the house. There will be robots that can help with your homework, cleaning up, even waking you up in the morning. There are still somethings the house needs improvements on. Can you think of anything? The Future Homes By Amaris Ruiz In another hundred years from now this will be what the future homes will be like.

The shape of the house will be diamond or circle. The length will be a mile wide and have 5-6 stories. No more people will be homeless because the houses will only be $100 no bill! But if this future home sounds amazing there is a problem. Inside our future homes one drop of water is $5,000! People will have to put buckets outside to capture water. Inside my future home I will have a restaurant, skating rink, bakery, movie theater, petroom and a balcony that looks out to the ocean. That’s just an example for our future homes 100 years from now.

They might have the color of blue, green, red and black plus more color’s. They might look small and modern on the outside and big and normal in the inside or might look big on the outside and larger in the inside. I think that’s about it for now.

My friend and me will live in the same house until we die. I will have 150 rooms and my own kitchen plus 9 living rooms and my friend will have the other half. My friend’s name is Enrida Romero. She has been my best friend for 7½ years and I can call her Nin because that’s what she likes to be called. We will invite four thousand three hundred ninety two people to our new years party. Plus this is part of our house warming party too. “So we get gifts,” said Nin. “Yes we get gifts,” said Gabby excitedly. We had our party and we all moved to a different house because ours was trashed and we moved to a better house that was shaped like a cyclops. We lived in that for 2 months. Then we moved to the new and improved cell phone house (looks like a cell phone) and you get free wifi for life and it comes with one million, eight hundred fortyseven thousand, ninety-two free cell phones all to me and Nin. Later on in the year my friends Tanu Kaur, Audree Beck and Maya Todorovich came and asked if they could

move in. I said yes and we went to the movie and went home and had the best night ever. That’s a Beautiful House By Brianna Dittmar We just got a new house not too long ago. It’s like a mansion. It has like five bedrooms not to mention the guest bedrooms and it has a balcony and on top of that in the secret basement. You have bionic humans and there are three of them and their names are Chace, Bri and Adam. Chace will help you with your homework, Bri will do your chores because Bri has super speed, and Adam has strength so he can help you with heavy stuff. So there’s your helpers. That way you can have a clean house. I hope you like your new and clean house. See you later.

House of the future By Keira Sommers Do you ever wonder what the house of the future looks like? Well I do! I’m going to tell you what I think the house of the future is going to look like. I would put lots of things in my future house. I would put a giant TV, a trampoline, a robot that makes your breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a pool in my house! The shape I would want my house to be would be an oval and I would want it to be a very big house! I would let my family live with me because it would be a big house. I probably would want a garage because you need somewhere to put your car. I wonder … what do you want your future home to look like? What a house of the future looks like By Syeirra Todaro Some kinds of things I would put in my house are … I would put a very cool and big dolphin statue in my house.

in it with my friend, Carrie. It would have a garage in the ocean. That is what my future house would look like. If I were President of the United States By Lynn Zheng If I was in charge of our country I would delete slavery, wars, bomb testing, gunfights, lower house billing, store/restaurant billing, and lower taxes. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he ended slavery during his time. There were a lot of slaves during Abraham’s time. When Abraham first saw slavery, he didn’t like it. I didn’t like slavery either because it separated families. I’m so glad Abraham stopped slavery. The qualities presidents need to have is honesty, loyalty, be hard working, kind, pick good big decisions, and follow the rules that are already in the country. Those are my things that would make me a good president. What a house of the future will look like By Dalaney Rees I would put two chairs on top of each other like bunk beds and the chairs will be hanging from the ceiling. Also I would put a bath tub hanging from the ceiling that would rock back and forth. The shape of my house would be a circle. My house would be thirty stories high. It would have eighty bedrooms. My whole entire family would live there. My

mom’s side of the family and my dad’s side. Yes, my house would have a garage. My house would have 20 garages because my whole entire family would live there. My mom and dad are so great By Cammie Vancleave They are my favorite people in the world. I don’t know how I can live without them. My mom and dad they play games with me and we watch TV shows with each other. What a house of the future will look like By Dawson Edwards I think a future house would look like a floating house. A little bit off the ground and have a floating car to get up to your driveway and there you have a huge garage. For two cars. To get in your house you just have to put your hand on a sensor and if you are the right person it will show green any way there is a robot maid and is a floating TV and stairs plus the beds are floating too and soft cushioned beds and there is an escape pod so if a fire or something plus the escape pod goes to a river it gets launched to the river then turns into a boat and you are safe! House of the future By Harrison Cole If I made my own future house if would be in the country, it would have 900 acres

of land. I would own all Lamborghinis in the whole world. I would own 10 four wheelers and drive them in my yard. I would have 20 10-car garages on my property and they will all be filled with Lamborghinis. My family would live there and I would have a one acre vault filled with 100 dollar bills. I would own 20 of all game systems, I would own all Grand Theft Auto game discs. I would own muddy corn fields to drive my four wheelers through the mud and water. I would put a TV that is as big as my wall on the wall. My house would be 200 acres and 500 acres tall. I love my future house, it is big. Why my mom and dad are so great By Amaya Rhyne My mom and dad are so great because they love me even when I get on their nerves. They will always love me I know it. They set me a good example for when I grow up to be a lady. When I grow up I want to be just like my mom. I think she is caring, nice, great sweet and a loving mother. My mom will always be and feel like the greatest mom ever. My dad is a nice caring and loving father. He works in the army. He works hard to get money to feed us. He does hard working and I respect that. I love my father as much as my mother. I love my parents for all the fun and loving.

DAILY JOURNAL house would be? It would be the size of Franklin because I would room for my guests. The people that would there would be me, my dogs, my butlers, my maids, my friends, and guest. I would need all those people to feel not alone. I would not have a garage. I would have a parking lot because I would have a lot of guests each day and night. What a house of the future will look like By Alexis Daugherty I think the future will be amazing. More astronauts, more people, and more houses. My house would have an elevator, food and drinks, of course. My house’s shape would be a rectangle. It will make the house bigger and better. It will probably be a mile long and mile wide. I would live with my robot maids, butlers, and chefs. I would let my family stay there if they didn’t already have a home. I would have a medium sized garage only to fit a few cars. I know my house sounds crazy, but it’s the future. What a house of the future will look like By Gracie Tester Some of the great things in my future house will be a flying car and an elevator instead of stairs. It will be the shape of a hexagon. It will be five stories high and each room will be the size of a football field.

My whole family and I will live there. I would not have a garage because there will be a separate room big enough for 12 cars to fit in. That is what my house will look like. What a house of the future will look like By Orion Carter I think that it will look like towers or underwater and underground. Underwater will look like a dome. And a tower house will like the Stratosphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. Or the Empire State Building in New York. Next is the underground house. I think I would like this one because an underground house would be safe from tornados, floods and robbers. And you could make it as many floors as you want. But don’t forget to make a place to put your car or you just might get your car stolen. Why my mom and dad are so great By Michael Moran My mom and dad took me to see my first circus. Also they brought me to different places of the world. They also give me things that could make me an archeologist or a vet they get me books they got me into school and also they saved enough money for me to go to a good college. They showed me it is important to be responsible, kind and friendly. That is why my mom and dad are so great!

What a house of the future will look like By Wyatt Riddle I would make a big long house. Then I would make it out of steel. Then I would make walls inside. My shape would be a square. The roof would be triangle. Then I would add a room upstairs for somebody. Dad and Mom could live there with my sister, dog, and cat. I would have 6 rooms. One for Dad, Mom, sister, cat and dog. Each would have their only room. I would have an Xbox one, Ps4, will and wiiu and a football field and a play room for cats and dogs. I would have a garage for things like airplanes, jets, and flyers. Why my mom and dad are so great By Alysabeth Vaught My mom and dad are so great because when I am upset or I need help they will help me or cheer me up. They are also great because they are by my side every step I go. My mom and dad also take care of me. My mom and dad set good examples when I watch them take care of my little baby brother. My parents show me how awesome they are when they let me do fun things and when we get to do fun things together as a family. Things my parents say that make me feel good are good job, you’re awesome, you’re so sweet. Those are things my parents say that make me feel good. That is why my parents are so great.

Well here is my description of my future home if I could make it. As you are reading think about what yours will be like. Now here is my description about my house. The first thing I’m going to explaining about is my Kitchen. It will have futuristic stone floor that is marble white. which will also have a marble counter top same as the floor. It will also have a electric furnace that quickly cooks things in 5 seconds max. That’s what my kitchen will be like. My second thing I’m going to be talking about is it’s outside appearance. I’m going to have a big balcony, where it will have a big pool under it which the balcony will give the pool shade. Over the living quarters will be a big sunroof which will absorb the bright sunlight and it will give me energy for my house. I will also have an enormous garage which will sparingly hold 16 cars max. That’s what my outside of my house will kind of look like. My last thing I’m going to describe

DAILY JOURNAL strongly about is my living quarters. I will have a big living room with an aquarium for the floor of my living room with a flat screen TV with surround sound and big couches. I will also have a big security with electric fences, security cameras, and more. Last I will have my master bedroom with a flat screen TV, a king size bed with a door out to the balcony. That was my big living quarters. That was what sort of my future house will look like. I hope you have like my amazing house. Now it’s time for yours.

We would also have TVs and X-Box once in my room, my brothers, in my rooms, in my moms and dads room ,also the kitchen and living room. That’s the technology in my extreme house. Now I will tell you who will live in my friendly house. First my family would live there because they always wanted a awesome future house. Next my excited pets would live there because they would have no place to live. Finally I would have a barn so I would have barn like animals. That is it for who would live in my house. This is what my future house would look like. This is also a house you would want to live in. A New President! By Brooke Wilkerson Are you ready for a new president yet? Well am. If I were president, I would try to be the best president I could be. I would do my best to make sure everyone is happy. I would always try to be honest like Abraham Lincoln. Here are some ways I could do that. First of all would instantly envision ways to make this old community better. I like to think about the environment before making a change or do something outside. I would also think of ways to keep people safe or from being injured. Like a new way to help

people to not slip on the shimmering winter ice. I would also think of ways to make less places where people go to get drunk. Have you ever heard of the verses about treating others the way YOU want to be treated? Or the one about loving your neighbor as yourself? Well if I were president those would be the two major verses I would consider focusing on. I would always try to welcome people from different countries and decorate different cities to match their traditions. Like Chinese new year. I would try to donate anything extra like food or clothes for the homeless. I would also carefully listen to everyone’s problems and complaints. What different laws I would make would be if anyone sees a cop or a firefighter then to give them the respect they deserve. Because I’ve heard stories of people being completely rude to cops and firefighters. Also at restaurants if it was somebody’s birthday, I would order the waiters to briskly serve a special dinner and dessert and sing a birthday song. Also I will make construction workers build an amazingly fun hotel for the homeless. With things in a normal hotel. I think it would be fair if the homeless people could come in for a lot cheaper. And it will be a lot better than the old run down shelters. And they can stay until they find a job and afford a house. If I were president I would better the com-

munity, treat others the way I want to be treated, and make better laws. That is why you should vote for me when I run for president.

U.S. President By Ryan St. Pierre We all show the Lord’s glory and we are being changed to be like Him. Corinthians 3: 18. We are all being change to be like the Lord. One of us has to step up as a leader, and be wise like him. I would be an outstanding president because America is great present day, but why not better? America should have a Christian president. George Washington inspired me greatly to help touch the hearts of other fellow Americans. That is why I would be president. The helpful things I would do if I were president is hopefully lower taxes.

My Future House By Jake Potter If you could make and decide what would be in your house, do you think it would be great? Well mine would be amazing Let me tell you why. It would have a great location, the best inside, and the most amazing backyard ever. My house would be great, and let me tell you why. My house’s location would be amazing.

slide. It also has lots of land to play on. It has a fifty foot zipline that you can fling down. This is the ultimate backyard. My future house is the coolest. It has an awesome indoor basketball court, a great zipline, and a super nerf war room. My house is the best. Future President By John Subris Have you ever thought on how you country is held together? The President! Not only the president is one of the most important men in the world, but he is also respected. I am thinking about being president for our blessed country. I have many ideas to make this country better than it already is. Past Presidents One of the greatest presidents in my opinion is Abraham Lincoln because he was very honest since he was a child. Being honest is one of the highly ranked qualities of being an amazing president. Honest Abe, or so was his alias, was a very smart and intelligent man. Overall he is basically a role model for anyone who wants to be a president. What can I do? Some more brilliant ideas are that I can resist drinking by reducing the number of bars and liquor stores. Another idea is that I can willingly add more schools for children who can’t afford an education. Another idea

20 is to open more shelters for the children who are homeless to provide not only shelter but food, water, clothes and supplies. The Dangers Not only do I have ideas but I am also aware of the terribly bad dangers. One danger is that you can be threatened for a target to kill. Another danger is that your rightful place is in jeopardy. Another danger is that not everyone will appreciate your successful ideas. My final danger is that someone will trade on you. There are still a lot of more ideas, but being president is a really prestigious position in our country’s government. It might be even scary in front of all those cameras and reporters and journalists. I hope you support me in these ideas. My Future Home By Brent Lyons Have you ever wondered what your future house would look like? I have here is what it would look like. In my house there would be a humongous basketball court. Also I would have a foolishly huge football field too. My furniture would include a long couch, a room for my pets and a massage chairs. There would be a huge movie theater that you can watch any sport on. On the outside of my house I would posses a pool with a huge 3-mile long water

Junior Journal 2016 slide. I would have an outdoor basketball court. Along with a tennis court there would be an extremely large 7-car garage that could fit three limos, two Chevy Malibus and two Hondas. Around my house there would be a humongous building that I could go to manage my own sports team. There would be animals such as bunnies, small dogs, and baby kittens in a protective fence. Naturally I would also have a tank just for baby seals. The natural resources around my home are skin deep water to swim in, sunlight and soil. I hope you love my home. I think it is an extremely amazing home. Amazing Parents By Amelia Cleveland One of the ten commandments is to love thy father and thy mother. I will obey that commandment. I love my parents for what they say and do. They set very good examples every day. I hope that when I get older I will be just like them. Some things my parents say and do to nicely cheer me up are ... When I am down they make delicious food that cheers me up. Some days I haven’t had a very good day so they talk with me about it. Whenever I’m having problems at school my dad barks out these stories of how the same things happened to him when he was younger.

Those are some things my parents say and do to cheer me up. My parents do a lot of spectacular things to care for me. Let me explain them to you throughout this paragraph. First, they feed me the most wonderful food in the history of food. They buy me the cutest clothes. Finally, they pay lots and lots of money for me to have a great education at an amazing school. Those are some things my parents do kindly care for me. My parents set magnificent examples for me to follow when I become older. Let me tell you a few of the many things they do for me in my life to become a noble and wise woman. They are very polite, they say please and thank you, and excuse me. They don’t get angry with me very easily. Finally, they are very clean inside and out. By that I mean they are clean on the outside and spiritually clean on the inside. There you have it. My parents are such amazing and spectacular people. They do everything in their power to help me. They help me with homework and more. Hopefully you can see how amazing and stupendous your parents are as well. Every parent should know when they are loved. so at any time either before or after school or maybe just about anywhere let’s give a shout out and tell our parents how much they are loved.

DAILY JOURNAL best. Every one will want to see it and live in it. It will be in the ocean. It will have a glass tube going through the water. Read on to find out the final product. First, I will clarify you my location. My location is in Florida. It will look gorgeous and be in the ocean. I am quickly going to get there by a zipline. That is where my location would be. Second, I will briefly tell you what the outside of my house will look like. I will have a deck going over the beautiful blue crashing waves. I will have a boat lifter on the side of my house to lift my boat up. I will have a big garage on shore. With a real gold limo with strips of real diamonds on the sides. With a zip line running from my house to my garage. That is the outside of my house. Lastly, I will kindly inform you what the inside of my house will look like. I will have a loft water above my kitchen. I will have secret storage in my walls. I will have 30 tiny fluffy puppies. That is what the inside of my house will be like. To conclude it all up my house is going to be the best and the biggest around. My Future Home By MaKailyn Forys My house is magnificent and these are a few reasons why. One is my extremely large bedroom, the walls I have, and my activity room. These are few of my favorite things.

Junior Journal 2016 Now we are going to my extremely large room. It has very special stomp blue lights. I have a walk in closet 10 feet long both ways. You just type in what your feeling that day and it will have something for you. A 3 queen put together a teal chevron partly zebra print bedding and pillow sheets. With dark brown shiny back board. Now we are going to talk about my walls. My walls have been picked in my living room. They are teal and white stripe, with three cute cartoon animals you can think of, and golden colored picture frames. Now we are going to go in the main hallway which is a Hollywood theme. There is a sign on the wall that looks like the real life Hollywood sign. The sign has little white lights. When you see the elevator in black paint it has a star painted on the door you will see the word ELEVATOR on the door. Now I will tell you about some other types you can see, pink zebra, blue leopard, and pink chevron. My room is a “night in the trees.” There are owls, sleeping birds, squirrel, and raccoons. There is any wall design that you can think of. Now we’re heading to our last stop and that would be the neatly done activity room. There is a pool, air hockey table, a pool table, ice skating rink, and a stage with all the instruments you can think of. There are 12 couches so you can relax while watching a movie on the jumbo screen TV. I love to

sing joyfully. I even get loud applause. Now we are at the end of our tour hoped you enjoyed. Hope you can come back soon to my amazing house. Why My Mom and Dad are Great! By Emma Fair Who protects us, who loves us, who feeds us? Mom and Dad that’s who! My Mom and Dad should get a reward for working hard to provide for me, taking me to church, and always supporting me in softball. My first reason is, Mom and Dad provide for me, and this is how. My parents pay for my sports, so that I can stay in shape. My parents pay for my education. I love my gratefully mom and dad. My parents pay for my clothes, so that I can have clean clothes each day. My second reason is, my Mom and Dad take me to church. My parents let me participate in church events. The one I love the most is camping with my church. My thoughtful Mom and Dad bought me my very own Faith Girls Bible. I’ve immediately been talking to my mom and dad about how I wanted to be baptized, and my mom said she would get it arranged. My last reason is my Mom and Dad support me everyday of my life. I like to play softball and I need help catching the pitcher sometimes. They help when I of getting a girl out. When I played softball with a cast,

21 my awesome dad would help me play infield and outfield. My dad made sure I scream mine, I quickly yell mine when my dad tells me to. I had fun with him. In conclusion, my parents are the best by, providing for me, taking me to church and always supporting me. That is why my Mom and Dad are so great. My Future Home By Abigail Hope Schout I am going to tell you about my future home. It will be very pretty and recognizable. I will live by Lake Michigan.

transparent dome which encircles my home. Along with my huge house I will have a running swimming pool with a boiling hot tub. I will also own a pavilion with a crystal clear lake. I’m guessing you think I am done but you are totally wrong. I also have a jet with two power boosters too. I will also have a very high technology boat which can transform into an amazing mechanical dolphin. My house will also have a tracker so I can find it easily. In conclusion the wonders of my humble home have amazed you. Also my humble home is the best most wonderful home ever created. My house is old fashioned but that’s the way I like it. My home is rested on the sandy banks of the wonderful Lake Michigan. My home is the best and will always be. Why My Mom and Dad are so Great By Hannah Winn The Bible says to honor your father and mother. I think my parents are very easy to honor because they have so many great qualities and they show me they love me in everything they do. I love my parents very much and here are the reasons why. My parents have many spectacular qualities and here are some of them. My parents always have a forgiving attitude, which sets a great Christian-like example for me to follow when I grow up. They also always have

a can-do attitude and they instruct me to always do my best. Another thing my parents do well is teaching me to be honest. They tell me that the truth will always come out whether I want it to or not, whether I lie or don’t lie. My parents are great role models that I would love to eagerly model my qualities after when I get older. My parents do many fantastic things that make them stand out from all other parents. My parents willingly take me on trips including Niagara Falls, Massachusetts, Alabama, Wisconsin, and Disney World. My parents also know that I adore going to Waffle House, and since we go there almost every week, we have made friends with the waitresses and cooks. Taking me places aren’t the only things that make my parents special. They also steer me towards good, Godly influences. My babysitter Katie and my first grade teacher Mrs. Whitaker are only some of the great influences in my life. I love when my parents show me they love me, and their actions prove that they do. My terrific parents say many things that inspire me. Whenever I’m worrying about something that is out of my control, my mom always says, “Don’t worry because I’m already worrying for you.” I do tae kwon do, and whenever I get discouraged my dad says, “If you don’t think you can achieve it, then why are you still trying?” When he says that, I always amazingly find the confidence

to try and do better. I hope I will learn to be wise with my words like my parents. My parents are great role models. They have many wonderful qualities, they do things that show me they love me, and they say many things that encourage me. I think my parents are the best and I love them very much. My Parents are so Amazing By Kage McCorkle A verse in the Bible is honor thy mother and father. I already do this because they teach me about God. They make me do what is right. They help me with sports. These are the reasons I honor them. My parents are so amazing that I shout and provide me with things. They proudly provide great shoes for me. They provide cool electronics for me like my phone, x-box, x-box1, Ipad. They provide me fashionable clothes. These are ways they provide things I want. My parents also actually committed to help me get great grades. They help me go over and double-check it. They help me with homework. They reward me with amazing grades. These are the ways I get outstanding grades. My parents give me a great home. Imagine having a huge pool. I also have an extremely big NBA basketball court. They also gave me a pool house to play in. They

Honestly they give me a amazing home. These are the reasons I love them so much! If I Were President By Ian Reed What do you look for in a president? Well I can guarantee that Ian Reed has all of those qualities. I’ll tell you what I would do if I were president. If were president I would excitedly reevaluate the ridiculously high gas prices. If we’re being honest with ourselves no one wants to live in a white house, that’s why I would change the white house into the blue house. I think the president should get more time with his family. Those are a couple things I would change if I were president. If you are still blindly arguing that I would not be the most amazing president ever, then maybe this will change your mind. I would try to be like Abraham Lincoln. Why? Because he was honest, kind, and intelligent. I would be like Abraham Lincoln. I know you are all curiously questioning who is going to be my amazing vice president. It would be a nice person, who would support me. I will choose my vice president very wisely that is how I would choose my vice president.

In conclusion my parents are helpful, fun, and outgoing. They try and succeed in making my life the best. That is why my parents are the best parents in the world.

My Parents By Sarah J. Schubert I think my parents are the best in the world. They take great care of me and are super fun to be around. I love my parents and they love me. here are some more reasons my parents are the best. My amazing parents take care of me. When I’m sick they would probably get sick staying by me and comfort me. They care what I think, say, and do. When I get hurt it’s like they know so they come right up and help me. I’m so lucky to have parents that care for me. On vacations we try to plan ahead so we get the best. On the way to the hotel we like to stop fun places like movies, pools, and parks. We always listen to Christian music on the way there. When we arrive at the hotel we go eat. After the meal we go straight to the activities. Every Friday my family has family fun night. First we go see a movie. After the funny movie we go eat. Then we come home and play a board game. In the winter we happily make hot cocoa and in the summer we compete in a game of tennis. It’s like a whole day of bonding!

The Best House Ever! Created by Rebecca Kjerstad I would love to tell you about my $500,000,000.00 house. Its features are eight pools, three basketball courts, 17 garages, and more. If you love nature and “mazes” my house is for you ... if you have the money. I will have many homeless people in my home. I try to share the love of Christ through my time and money. People will love my house, so I’ll tell you why. I’ll tell you what is outside of my future house. I’ll have astonishing gardens the size of a football field, and I’ll have 12 of them. I will also have four shimmering waterfalls the size of a basketball court. Make sure you have good hearing because you can hear the ripples of the secretly hidden waterfalls, the whispers of the birds, and the wind howling through the trees. These are all features outside of my house. Now I’ll tell you about the location of my house. The address is P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. The directions are head east off of England Road, and drive down it for 18 miles. Then slightly glide left onto Sherman Road, and your destination will be on your right. You will see a big

It is a sparkly pink garage. It can fit 14 semis, and four mother-in-law suites. I will also still have room for 12 more car races. There is so much more space to cleverly stack over 20,000 more large boxes if you are moving in or packing up. In conclusion, the outside is the best sight to see in the entire place. The location is perfect for anyone, because you can jump onto the subway and come to the house. Just in case you have company you would have plenty of space for them in the garages. If you have $500,000,000.00 you can buy my future house, and probably stay in it forever. My future house will be the best in this side of the world.

I want to be president for many reasons here are some. For one thing, I want to correct the MANY mistakes of the past presidents. I want to be able to finally have a voice and my opinion would matter. I would also try to get the terrible Tom Brady fired! That’s why I want to be president. Finally, if I were president I would carefully select who would work with me. For vice president I would like someone careful. For my personal assistant I would have someone quick. Finally, my advisor would be someone intelligent. Those are some of the kinds of brilliantly talented people I would have the pleasure of working with. I would love to be president! I could change things. I know what I want, and I have some strict ways. Overall, I could be an amazing president one day. How about you? My Future Home By Ryker Etchison I wish we could see what the future holds for us, if I could fast forward to the future the first thing I would look at would be the futuristic houses. If I could have a house in the future here is what it will look like. To start off, my house will be on the moon.

Junior Journal 2016 It will be on the moon because I want tons of privacy and more room to ride and enjoy my mini Segways. Oops! I’ll tell you about that later. Also my house will be an octagon so I can have more rooms in my house. Also I will have a pool outside that has no gravity so it will amazingly float in the air. That is how amazing my house will be. If you were excitedly pondering what was in my garage. Inside I will have lots of mini Segways that are gold. I will also have a huge mini Segway charging center. Right next to it will be a mini Segway fixing center. This is why my house is on the moon. My final idea about my house is that I will definitely have a closet full of shoes from the future. I will have many expensive Nike back to the future shoes. (Which is a real thing.) They lock on your feet when you put them on. Next I will have a shoe charging center. (Which is a real thing.) Lastly in my shoe closet I will have an escalator that leads to a secret Nike shoe store filled with shoes and a shoe seller who gives very fair prices. In the future I know for a fact that in 30 years you will jealously stare up and wish your house was comparable to my house.

going to write to you and show you what my future home would look like. I will tell you that my house is an octagon. Will it have a garage? I don’t want to spoil your journey through the future so read on to hear about my future home. My house would be an octagon. On the outside it would have 50 incredibly large windows. The color of my house would be red with an orange blend. No, it would not have a garage, it would be a future flyer. On the outside, it would also have a security system you can’t see, so nasty robbers won’t break in. The things in my house would be lots of shapes. My TVs would be rectangles. Also my refrigerator looks like a hexagon with a trapezoid on top. I must have 10 rooms in my house. Each humongous room would have its own qualities. One room in my house will have a pool with a diving board and a waterfall. Another room would be a bowling alley, a football room, a batting cage, a basketball room. I will construct a kitchen, three bedrooms with a family room. My house would be a partially flying house. It would hold up to 100 gallons of gas. The flames will be blue and red. Also it will be a spinning octagon. I will build an extremely small control panel to fly it. If I’m alive when super technology is invented, I will live there. If I am not alive, then my descendants would live there. For

My future home is 100,000 feet wide and 100,000 feet tall. It will have 75 stories. It is in a shape of an octagon and will have 100,000 acres. This is only a part of my future home. Technology and protection is a huge part of my home because of high tech bad guys. I will have a force field to protect my house. I will also have a inch door that has a handle on the inside that will unlatch my door. I will have as sliding door on my roof for my hover board. Another thing that I will have is a phone on the door. That is how I will protect my house. My third paragraph will be about one of my favorite things in life: sports. I will have a ginormous button that when you press it it will flip into a field or a court. I will also have golf course outside. One of my favorite things is a pool indoor and outdoor. I will also have a pool table. That is how I will play sports. I will have special things for relaxation and I will describe them to you in this paragraph.

me. I would still be a Christian if I were president. Ronald Reagan said “live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.” I would try to do these things if I were president. Secondly, if I were president I would have great qualities. I would lead with fairness when things go wrong. I would also lead with loyalty when, people are not loyal to me. I would also try to lead with justice if I were president. I would especially try to be the best I can be. Third, I would change a lot of things. I would definitely put security in every school. So crazy people wouldn’t break in. I’ve always pictured running an orphanage so, I would. I would also make every school recycle. I am very inspired by Ronald Reagan. Apparently so was my dad because, my name is Reagan. Last, but not least what I would do if Ii were president is make our country a better place. Maybe if I run for president I could do a lot better than Obama. These are the reasons why I should run for president. My Amazing Future House By Noelle Stinnett Have you ever had a future house? If you have what does it look like? Some things I would have will be neat kinds of things. Also, I would have a large house and it would be very big. Lastly, the outside of my

house would look amazing. Those are some things I would like to know if I had a future home and here are some reasons why. My first clever idea is what kinds of things I would quickly take in my future house. For the shade of my walls I would want them to be gray and teal. l would have a kids playroom, jungle gym, and 10 basketball courts. I also would install 500 bathrooms, 200 living rooms, and 10,000 bedrooms. Those are some things I would I would put in my future house. My second important idea is what would the shape and size of my house be like. I would have a circle house and glass windows all so I can glare outside the windows. My house is going to be 500 feet high exactly. On the very top of my house there will be stairs so you can go up there. That is how tall and how big my future house is going to be like. Lastly, my third idea is what the outside of my house would look like and where I would live. My house is going to be surrounded by water on the salty beach in California. I am going to have a lot of gardens with bundles of fruits and vegetables in the garden. I will have a bunch of playgrounds outside so kids can scurry and have fun. That’s what the outside of my house would look like. In conclusion, that’s how my future house would look like. My future house is going to have everything you would dream of. I hope

Our 49th President By David McLaughlin How sat the city alone being many in people she was a leader: being many among the nations being a leader in the provinces she became for tribute (Lamentations 1:1) I am thinking about being our 49th president. Honest Abe Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president. Abe is my favorite president because he believed in God and had very good qualities. He was a very honest man. He was faithful and he abolished slavery. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. I would like to put in qualities into my presidency. If you are the president that is obviously important. That is my opinion. If you are the president you need magnificent qualities. My qualities would be trustworthy and honest. You can’t omit to stay faithful. Alcohol is a dangerous problem. The age limit is 21. When I truly convert into the president, that will change. You will have to be 30. You could not drink if you were over the age of 70. You would only be allowed to drink 10 drinks with alcohol in it a week. These rules will put a stop to over-drinking. I will be the best president. I would have

great qualities and limit alcohol. That is why I will be the best president ever. If I Were President By Cooper Gorgievski If I could be the president I would serve this Country well and give people freedom. I would act fairly and right. I would help out and enforce amazing new laws. Here’s a couple jobs I’d do. I’d try to be a smart and well acting president. I’d also make very good changes too. The president I was inspired by is George Washington. I was inspired by him cause he fought in The Revolutionary War for the U.S. If I were president I would have a few qualities. Here are the qualities I’d have. The first quality I’d have is being loyal to the other people. The second quality I’d have is being truthful and not lying. Another quality I’d have is to act respectful to other people. Those are three qualities I’d have as a president. Here are some ways I’d create better changes. The first way I’d be helpful in enforcing stronger laws. Another way I’d help is being a hard worker. Here is the last reason why I’d kindly help make better changes is by. I’d help the world become a better place. The last thing I’d do as a president. I’d want to have great leadership. The reason

I’d want great leadership is. As the president I’d want people to remember me. In conclusion that’s how I would end being president. My Future House! By Lindsay Hagist In the future my house will be awesome! It will be massive. I will also have a gold limo, a private jet, a 20-car garage, a trampoline room with trampoline floors and walls, also a lot of pets. My future house will be the bomb! My house will be by the beach. I will clearly glance at a lot of light. There will be trees and a lot of nature. There will be no one around. I will have a lot of space to myself. The inside of my house will be beautifully decorated. My house will seem very neat. I will also have an indoor pool. There will be a lot of animals and pets in my home. Also five rooms for animals, and animal food and their cages. The outside of my house will be very cool. In the outside I will own a garden. There will be a lot of trees, water, and nature. I will also have a pool. The outside of my house will be amazing! In conclusion my future house will be very cool. The inside of my house will look very neat. I will have a pool outside. You should

come and see my house in the future! If I Were President By Eli Ellis Are you disagreeing on how the country is being run? If you disagree with the president you might not disagree with me. I will get our country out of debt and stop wars. This is what I would do if I were president. If I were president this is what I would do. I would like to bravely be like Abe Lincoln. One other thing I would do is tell other people about God through speeches. The last thing I would do if I were president is stop wars and honestly keep the lovely peace. This what I would do if I were president. Another thing I would do if I were president is do what is best for the fantastic country. I would make the right decisions and they would be right for the country. I would also make a army with tougher men and woman. Another thing I would do if I were president is get are country out of debt. Those are the awesome decisions I would make if I were president. The last thing I would do if I were president is that I would persevere for other people. One of the things I would do to achieve that is give money to people with less. Another thing I would do is happily pay for kids to go to school when they can’t pay. The last thing I would do to achieve caring

DAILY JOURNAL about other people is I will build homes for the homeless. This is what I would do when I am clearly carrying about other people. These are the reasons why I should be president. If I get elected I would be the best and most honest president in the history of the USA. Why My Mom and Dad are so Great By Janell Johnson Have you ever gotten so mad to where you say some stuff you don’t mean? Well I have and it usually goes a little something like this: I hate myself and I don’t like my parents at all. I’m going to tell you why I love my parents and why they keep me from saying stuff like this. Have your parents ever been talking to someone else when you need to talk to them? I definitely have. Then they will tell you sweetheart you interrupted and they tell not to do it again when, I think they know I am going to do it again. Well here’s a little tip I like to keep in mind. Do you love your parents and do you respect them? If you said yes to any of those then respect them don’t think bad thoughts about them. I care and love for my parents and I want to give them the respect they deserve The next subject I am going to tell you about is love. Why my parents love me and why I love them. I love my parents because they care for me. I mean if they didn’t love or care for me then why would I have a roof over my head? Or tasty food on the table? Another reason why I love my parents is because they show love and compassion towards me when I’m hurt or sad. They also purchase clothes for me when they’ve been working all day working for that money and then they spend it on me and my brother. Those are just a few reasons why I willingly love my parents and why they love me and my brother. The next thing I would like to tell you about is spiritual love and affection. My parents are like mind readers they know every about me and my day just by looking at me. When I get a little crazy they just look at each other like did you give her sugar, no I didn’t give her sugar I thought that was you. Also my parents are believers in Christ. Which means if I have a question about God I’ll ask them and they will make sure I have the correct information and that I understand. Plus when I get hurt its like they know and they will quickly come to help me. In conclusion I would like to say that my parents are the best in the whole wide world. I mean why wouldn’t you want to have parents like mine? They love and care for me. That’s why I think that my parents are the best ones ever. My Parents are the Best By Samuel Graves Who protects you when you are scared? Your parents! My parents are always there for me. I’m going to tell you why my parents are great. My parents happily are great examples for me. They never let me do horrible things that

Junior Journal 2016 can hurt me. Also, my parents set the example of cleanliness. Finally, they pronounce to me not to play too many video games. My parents are great examples for me. My mom and dad gleefully contribute to my daily life in huge ways. First, my mom and dad feed me and always keep me protected. Next, they teach me about my faith in God. Finally, they bring me everywhere. They bring me to all my school activities and birthday parties. My parents do so much for me every day. My parents are incredibly amazing! They purchase my gaming consoles even when I don’t deserve them. Not only do they let me buy stupendous video games, they let me play them all the time. Finally, the set good examples for me. My parents are definitely the bomb. My parents are amazing to me. They keep me safe always. That is why my parents are the best. The Tech House By Carson Dillard I have always dreamed of building my own house. I finally get the chance to describe what it looks like. I am a big robot fan, so I would have lots of robots around my house. I also would want to be a chef so I would have a spacious high tech kitchen. To start it off, I’ll inform you about the amazingly fun stuff. I enjoy high-contact sports so I would have a turntable basketball court, foot and soccer field. I also want a game room in my attic. I would have a movie theater that I can play television on. I used to be in a bowling league, so I would have a bowling alley. I am a mythology expert so I would have a Greek and Egyptian mythology rooms. My fun stuff will always keep me entertained. I always need a few extra hands and love to prove someone wrong. I would have droids from the extremely awesome movie “Star Wars” like C3-PO, R2-D2 and BB-8. I would have a gigantic library because I admire reading. I am a computer geek so I would have a room dedicated to computers. I love challenging math and I am not going to hide it, so I would have a math room. I like to say I told you so. I could do that with my resourceful rooms. I have described the inside but now I will describe what it will look like. It will be two stories tall on one side. The other will hopefully be one story with a circular hovering bedroom on top. The kitchen will be the biggest kitchen ever. That is the amazing outside and what is in it. There is a lot of extra stuff in my house. My extra stuff is a cat room. I know everything says dogs are man’s best friend, but what about cats? Also a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. I would also have a herb garden with a waterfall to water them. I would have a hot tub with 70-inch plasma television. I just told you about the details of my house. I told about all of the fun stuff. I also told you about the resourceful stuff. I also said what the house will look like and some extras. My house will be the bomb.

From George Washington to Me By Noelle McGill “Give me liberty or give or give me death” is what Patrick Henry proclaimed when the 13 colonies were fighting England. Once we won the Revolutionary War we had to have some kind of sturdy government and we didn’t want a king, so instead our founding fathers chose for the United States to have a president. If I president I would run our country well. If I were in charge of the United States let me tell you what I would do. First of all I would work on our relations with other countries so we would not get involved in any more wars and I would try to establish peace with everyone. Another thing I would do is build up national security. I couldn’t sleep at night knowing the people who had elected me as president were not safe. Another important issue I would try to willfully help with is to give kids a good education. I would make sure kids had a good school to go to and a library where there will be a wide selection of books to choose from. I just want to make sure the people in my country are safe and have a good education. So far in the United States we have had 44 presidents. Out of those 44 there are a few that stand out to me that I especially admire. One of them is George Washington. I admire Washington because he had the strength, power, and perseverance to bring the thirteen colonies together to form a nation. Thomas Jefferson is another president that stands out to me. He wrote The Declaration of Independence and that is certainly a very important document in history. Lastly, Abe Lincoln was in an amazing leader in our history. His presidency was during the Civil War and that was a very hard time in our history to be president. He had to deal with, the Civil War, and carefully deal with the issue of slavery all at the same time. It sounds pretty overwhelming doesn’t it? That’s why he was such a great president! A president should have good qualities. Honesty is one good quality for a president to have. No one wants a shifty and dishonest person to be in charge of a country. Fairness is another important quality. That means to treat everyone equally no matter who they are, what they do, or how they act. I fully believe responsibility is also a quality presidents should have. They’re going to have many difficult situations to deal with and many things to be responsible for. Fairness, responsibility, and honesty are all qualities that a leader of our country should have. Now I’ve told you what I would do if I were president, what presidents I admire, and what qualities I believe a president should have. Now you know the reasons why I would like to be president and what I would do. House Of The Future! By Olivia Shingleton Now let’s step into the future to my future home. I’m going to show what my future

27 home is going to be like. It is going to be based of three things: fun, function, security. Let’s get started with all the fun things I WANT in my house. First of all if you are going to live in a big house you have to have a pool, but my pools are special because the one on the roof has a waterslide that leads to the one on the inside. The next thing I want is a volleyball court, inside and out. But the one on the outside is a beach volleyball court. The next thing I want is a trampoline with a water system so in the summer when I’m getting hot I can jump while getting cooled down. The last thing I want is a craft room because I LOVE to create wonderful crafts. Here are all the things I need but with a little touch of my personality. First is the living room. My living room will have couches that when you sit on them they memorize what you like in what mood you are in. So the next time I sit on my couch and I am sad, the temperature and the fluffiness will change to how I like it when I am sad. Also I want a ginormous TV with a touch screen and voice control. So if I tell the TV to go to Netflix it will go to Netflix. Next is the kitchen. It will have a machine that will give you any food for plead for. So the next time I want my grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich and I am not at her house I can have it whenever I want. The last thing is security you know what they say “safety first.” The first thing you need are secret cameras in places that people would never think to look but would still be able to catch my thief. The second thing is passcodes, passcodes on doors, passcodes in my garage, passcodes on my computer, passcodes on my i-Pad, passcodes on EVERYTHING! Now my house is practically invincible. So now my house is fun, functional, and safe. Even though all this stuff is great none of it matters unless I am with the people I love. This is what I want my future home to be like. My Mom and Dad By Elise Hare Gehrich Who supports you, who loves you, who has your back always. Your parents that’s who. My parents are unique special parents. They mean the world to me. My mom would win the mom of the year award. My dad would win the best dad to stack salad award. My mom is the part of my life that keeps me going every day of my life. She makes me laugh in hard times. She’s always there for me. She’s a truly funny person. Every always observes that they love my mom for her personality. That’s my mom’s personality and mother characteristics. My dad is a person who loves animals and shows me that we shouldn’t just be nice to humans but also to animals. We try to help animals that need homes and that are hurt. We have a German shepherd and a happily playful cat also, we always drove to the animal shelter to get our animals. He shows me that you should love and respect animals. My dad’s the best because he

28 shows me how great animals are and he’s a loving and supportive dad. That’s how spectacular my dad is. The things they say and do are mind boggling. The thing my mom has done that shows me how much she loves me is by taking or doing something that I want to do even though she doesn’t want to do it. My mom always says we should look at the bright side of things and I may not always willingly listen to my mom but she has a point. My dad replied that he’s proud of me and is glad that he has a daughter like me. My mother thanks God every single day that she has a loving and wonderful daughter. I thank God for giving me the most wonderful parents ever. I hope that you will appreciate your parents and tell them how much they mean to you because they absolutely deserve it. You should cherish the time you have with your parents. Make the best memories with your parents. That’s how great my parents are and set good examples. My Future Home By Bailey Goodrum Have you always wondered what your house in the future will look like? Well if I could create and design my own house this is what it would look like and what I would put in it. The different rooms I would have in my house would be an arcade room, spa room, and a play room. In the arcade room I would have an Xbox One, a foosball table, an air hockey table, a claw machine, water shooting games, a bowling alley, and a basketball shooting game. In my playroom I would have my Barbie’s, lalaloopsy’s and my American girl dolls that I love. In my spa room I would have massage chairs, a hot tub, an indoor pool, and hired back massagers. My rooms just wouldn’t be extremely good so would my car. This is what my car would look like. It would have heated and cooled seats, it would be navy blue, and it would have animal print seats. The reason I would have heated and cooled seats is if it is summer I would likely prefer cooled seats since it would be hot. I would have heated seats because I would prefer to be toasty warm in the winter. I would have a navy blue car because I adore blue it is my favorite color. I would have cat animal print because I love cats they are so precious. If you think my car is awesome check out my backyard. My backyard will be so fun. In my backyard I will have a garden, a fountain, and a deck. In my garden I will grow peppers and then they will sprout up out of the ground. I will grow tomatoes and lettuce as well. I would plant daises, petunias, sunflowers, and morning glories. I will have a fountain with LED colored lights to shine at night and I will put cat fish and turtles in my fountain. I will have a deck and it will be clearly close to the pond. On my deck I will have chairs, vines, and a table. My backyard will be a great place to hang out. In my future home it will include different rooms, a crazy amazing car, and a great view. My house will be so amazing.

Junior Journal 2016 Indian Creek Intermediate Third grade Jamie Rainwater If I Were President By Xavier Hammond What does it take to be the president of the United States? I believe it takes honesty, courage, ambition, and valor. George Washington was ambitious. When he was a young boy, he walked seven miles to school and seven miles back home. Abraham Lincoln was a leader and a hard working man as well. He is known as “Honest Abe” because he was an honest person. Being a leader takes a lot of courage. When I’m president of the United States, I will stop bullying. I will stop littering. I will stop all wars by making people in other countries get along. I would give food and wealth to people who are in need. I would make flying cars and portable houses. I would make a money machine for everyone to use. I think that I would make a great president of the United States of America. When I Become President By: Adam Crouch Have you ever thought what it would be like to be president? You have to be a leader like George Washington. He was the leader of the Patriots during the American Revolutionary war. You also you have to be hardworking like Abraham Lincoln. He helped build his family’s house. Every day George washington walked 7 miles every day to go to school and back. This shows he is ambitious. Both men are leaders. These are both traits you need to be a good president. This is what I would do if I was president. I would try to be peaceful with other countries. I would also give food and water to some countries that don’t have water and food. I would give poor people homes to stay. To accomplish this I would have businesses help build homes for homeless people. If I became president think that it would be really cool job and a hard job to and a lot of work too. If I Became President By Jerrid White Do you want to be president? If you do you need to be a good leader, ambitious, respectful, helpful, hardworking, and courageous. George Washington walked seven miles to school then a another seven miles back home. Abraham Lincoln built his family’s house and he walked several miles just to get books. These character traits are why they were great presidents. If I were president I might change some laws. Those laws would be stopping terrible and nuclear wars. I would bring more peace to the world. I would be amazed if I got elected to be the president of the United States. I would go give speeches to the people around the world. I would help other places and stop slavery. I would give places more food that needed it badly. I would help the poor and

homeless. I would buy them food and other stuff that they badly needed. I would give people and other countries resources that they needed. I would build huts and houses for the homeless and poor. I would help poor people by giving them money because they would need to pay their bills and provide for them and their family. I would help buy the homeless people some stuff that they needed. I would have people build houses and other stuff for other people. If animals were endangered I would help those animals with food, drinks and help provide them homes. I would help all injured animals by caring, feed them and take them to a vet to take care of them there. I would give the animals some special medicine if they need it. I would let them stay with me if know one wants to adopt them. I think I would be a great president. How I will rule this country By Lydia Ringer Do you want to be a president ? Well it can be rough having all that pressure on you! Some presidents were ambitious like George Washington. Let’s talk a little bit about him. At the time George Washington was born in America it was ruled by England. He was ambitious because he walked 7 miles both ways just to go to school. George Washington lived on a farm it was called Mount Vernon. When he was an adult he married a woman named Martha Custis and she had two children. George not only adopted but helped Martha with the kids. At that time there were a lot of people living in America that did not want to be ruled by England. George was sent to be commander in chief of the American army he fought in the revolutionary war. It was a long hard fight but after that America won! It became the United States of America then it gets even better George Washington was elected as the first president of the United States in 1789! Later the capital of the United states of America became Washington D.C. named after George Washington! He is a wonderful example of a great leader and president. Now I want to talk about what it would be like if I were president. First I would invent things to help sickness and problems with life. If I were to help the people in my country I would give out jobs to people who need money like poor people. The most important thing I would do is help animals and give them homes. I would also help other people in other countries. I would help with peace and help them with what they need to build. I would help them find ways to grow food and not be hungry. But if there is one thing I know about being a president is there is a lot of things to do but I think I could get through it. I think I’ll be a great president. If I am President of the United States By Epic Garland Have you ever thought about how hard

DAILY JOURNAL being president was? It takes a lot of hard work. You have to be loving to your country to your people. You need to be brave, humble, self-confident, and proud. You need to be a strong leader. What is something I would change? I would change the days of school to 7 and the hours to 10 hours. I would add more activities, like martial arts and painting. How I would help the poor and make them the same as the rich. I would go to countries and stop bullying between leaders and groups. The most important thing would be helping others, help the country, help the world. I would feel good and shouting out with glee! Being president is big, I know and I will be good. When I’m President By Jude Heaston What does it take to be the president of the United States? It takes bravery, confidence, ambition, hard work, fearlessness, and courage. There have been many presidents that have shown these characteristics, and many that have not. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are two presidents that have shown these characteristics. George Washington was ambitious because he walked 7 miles to school. Abraham Lincoln was hard working because he built his family’s house. He also walked several miles just to borrow books from his friends. These two men have the qualities that it takes to be the president of the United States. If I become the president of the United States, I plan to help the people that live in third world countries. I also plan on creating laws that will make Americans happier. For starters, I will send FIRST AID KITS to Haiti, Kenya, Africa and the Middle East. The middle east needs supplies because they have a lot of fighting going on there. It is really really hot in Haiti, Kenya, Africa and the Middle East. Their water is not clean like ours is, so I will educate them on water cleaning systems to make their water drinkable. I will try to stop all wars between the Middle East and other countries. If I hear that a country is getting destroyed, I will do what I can to help them. I will do whatever I can to help countries in need when I am president. I will serve the U.S. in a very great way. I hope to make America and the world both better places. When I become president By Charlotte Lasiter Do you want to be a president? Well I think it is pretty hard to be a president. It takes a lot of ambition to be a president. Do you known that George Washington walked seven miles to school and back EVERY day! George married Martha Custis. He was a leader in the Revolutionary War. He is very brave. Abraham Lincoln built his family home. People called Abraham Lincoln Abe. Abe was very Intelligent. Abe loved to read! Abe married Mary Todd. She was very lovely. He

DAILY JOURNAL helped keep the country together in the Civil War. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He is has done great things to the word. Here are some things: stop slavery, help people too. But someone stop it! It was Mr. Lincoln. If I were president I would feel like the most important thing to do is taking orders. Plus paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork! I would help people find jobs and work so that they can help the country. I would help other countries by sending them food and supplies. I think I would be a good president.

body could get everywhere without it taking a long time. Every month I would let at least 70 people meet me and I would give them each 100 dollars. I would also take pictures with them and give them a tour of the white house. I would be kind and generous to everybody. And I would give food to other countries like those in Africa. I also would send supplies, water and resources that will keep them safe. Once a month I would make a parade for America. This will help make everyone feel happy. I would be a generous, ambitious and kind president just like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

If I Were President By Brayton Cave I know it is hard to be president. It takes hard work. You can help people. You are busy most of the time. You can be ambitious like George Washington, he walked 7 miles to school each way. Abraham Lincoln built his family’s house, he walked miles to go borrow books. If I were president I would change the law of the speed limit I want them to go slower so they will not crash. I would deliver food to people that don’t have It. I would stop bullying in schools. I would go to that school and talk to the children. I would talk to the bullies and say you need to stop bullying. In other countries I would help girls get the chance to go to school. I would invent something so people that can’t walk, walk. I would feel awesome. And I would care. This will make me a good president.

If I Become President By Lucas Neibert What does it take to be president? It would take work. It would take courage. It would take ambition. It would take a desire to do great things. You have to be kind to be your people. You have to be hardworking like George Washington walked 7 miles to school. And Abraham Lincoln built his family house. He walked miles to borrow books. Now I’ll tell you how I will help people. I will help people get to go to school. I would promote peace and end war. I would let other countries have part of our water and help develop clean water sources. I would send Americans to help hurt and homeless people in poor countries. I would change unfair laws in other countries .I would let people stay wherever they want to stay. I would make sure nobody get hurt or seriously injured and who ever hurt them will be arrested for 6 years. I will have an animal care center. I would make recycling centers I will be an awesome president. When I run, vote for me!

If I was president By Alaina Perry Have you ever wanted to be President? If you do then here’s some information for you to know: It takes a lot of work to be the President. George Washington was the first President of the United States. When he was little, he would walk 7 miles to school and back home. Another President was Abraham Lincoln. He was honest and hardworking. When he was little, he helped build his family’s house. If I was President I would build homes for people that are too poor to build their own. I would help feed people that don’t get a meal every day. I will help kids have a chance to go to school if they weren’t able to. I want to ban bullying from schools. I want every school to have an alarm system so bad people can’t get in. I think I will make a great President some day. When I Become President By Dylan Hopkins To be a president you have to be ambitious, a leader, hardworking and also courageous. Here are two presidents who presented these character traits. Abraham Lincoln built the family house. He would walk many miles to borrow books. George Washington would walk 7 miles to get to school. He was ambitious and a good leader. Both were kind, generous, and hardworking. If I become president I would protect our country. I would make more stores so every-

Being President By Eli Shively Have you ever thought of being president? Have you thought about how hard they work to be president of the United States of america? Well George Washington had to walk 7 miles to go to school both ways! Now on to Abraham Lincoln. He had a choice to help them build the family house and he did. He is very hardworking. Both George washington and abraham lincoln were ambitious and courageous. This is what I would change when I’m president. I would help people in other countries that don’t have that much. I would help countries that don’t have schools so people can learn more things so they could get better jobs. I would help farmers in other countries that plant bad plants for the soil. I would send special seeds for their soil and teachers and help teach about taking care of the soil. I would help homeless people that don’t know what to do and give them food and shelter to keep them warm in the winter so they won’t be cold. I think I will be a great president. When I Become president By Tommy Koron I want to be elected to be president. Here

are a couple of presidents that did a good job. George Washington was ambitious and a leader he walked 7 miles to school. I think George Washington was a great president because he is ambitious guy. I think he did great speeches. Abraham Lincoln was a hardworking guy! Abraham Lincoln and his sister worked hard on their family farm. He walked miles to borrow books! He was a courageous, brave, and bold. Do you like Abraham Lincoln or George Washington? I like both because they are ambitious! If I was president I would send food to poor people and I would try to let girls in other countries go to school because I think it is not fair that they don’t go to school because I think everybody should go to school. Kids need to learn because I think it is awesome! Kids need to learn so they know a bunch of things. They are going to use it in their life If I wanted to do that I would need to be elected to be president and I am going to try doing that when I get older. I would build things for poor people. I want to be president because I think it would be fun. I could make rules and try to make the wars stop! I will make it so that all kids get a great education. When I Become President By Isabella Wallace Have you ever thought what it takes to become the president of the United States? I have. It is very hard and tiring. It takes to courage, ambition and hard work. Abraham Lincoln and George Washington are past presidents, and they were both very courageous and brave leaders. When I become president of the United States, I want to help other countries. I want to give them food and water. I would send clothing and build hospitals for countries that needed it. I would give money to people in need. I would end wars between other countries. Here in America, I would stop bullying in schools and I would give every school computers and playground sets for their students to use. In my free time, I want to travel to different states and countries. I think it will be so enjoyable to be the president of the United States, but it will also be lot of work. But I know that I am up for the challenge. When I am president By Carrie Proctor Did you ever want to be president? Well if you do here are some things other presidents have done. George Washington walked seven miles to school! George was very ambitious, kind and helpful. He learned a lot. He was a good leader too. This made George Washington a very good president. Abraham Lincoln was a hard worker. He helped build the house his family lived in. Lincoln walked miles and miles just to borrow a book. Lincoln didn’t care about how far he walked, he just wanted to borrow the book. He loved to read. Lincoln was very courageous and bold. He also was our sixteenth president. It was hard for Abraham Lincoln to be president because he stood

up against slavery, and because his country was at war. Abraham Lincoln was a very good president. And I am going to be a very good president too. Since I am going to be president I will make all kinds of amazing laws. My first law is going to be no speeding or else you’ll have to pay a fine. My next law will be that school will dismiss at 12 instead of 3. I will pass a law that students will be allowed to bring their pets into school 2 days a week!! I will make America a great place to live. When I am president By Carson Volz Did you ever wanted to be a president? It would be really cool to be a president. I think that George Washington was ambitious because he walked 7 miles to school and back. George Washington he was a leader of the army and he fought in the Revolutionary War. This makes him a leader. Ambition and being a leader are important to the president. When I become president I would like to help people who have no money at all. When my work is done I would like to travel to places that I do not know like Haiti. If they wanted to go to the United States they could they could have more food and to find jobs in the United States. I could go to Australia and ask people to come so that they could come to the United States they could come to see the zoo and see new animals. If they still believe in segregation, they will not be allowed to live in the United States. All people are people no manner what. Lynda the Next President By Lynda McCallip Have you ever thought about being President? Well it’s a lot of work. You have to be very confident. You need to be hard working and ambitious like George Washington. He walked seven miles to get to school. Abraham Lincoln is a good president. He walked miles to get a book to borrow to read. He is hardworking. One of the most important things is to be a good leader. Both of these were good leaders When I get to be president of the United States I will be the best president ever. I will be a good leader and had hard working. I would change it so everyone gets to go to school .I would even help people in other countries by traveling and sending them things. I would also keep our country safe. In my country I would help them by giving them food water and shelter I would make the shelter warm and safe. I feel very confident about keeping our country safe and being a great president.

Indian Creek Intermediate Fourth grade Alison Randolph The best future house By Nina Payne I think the house of the future is going to have a bathtub in it that all you have to do to turn it on is you just have to swipe your

30 hand in front of it. Then when you want to shut the water off you just swipe it like you did before. When you are hungry all you have to do is press a button and food will show up and if you’re thirsty a drink will show up also. If you want the TV to turn on, all you have to do is clap your hands. In the shed of the future house for the men, the tool holder holds 209 tools at a time. There would be 15 garages so you could have a whole bunch of cars and extra junk that you have in your house that you don’t want. The house of the future would be pretty cool with all of these things but the house of the future would need automatic doors. There would be 18 bathrooms and 17 living rooms and 14 kitchens. The living rooms are going to be huge and the bathrooms are smaller than the living rooms but not by much. The house of the future should be big and have 200 windows. The outside should have chairs but you have to press a button for the chairs to show up. There would be a pond and a lot of ducks. Their would be a long, long, long driveway. It would have a button you would have to press to decorate the house for the holidays. The button would be decorated along with the house. It would have balloons and streamers and a lot more decorations. The house of the future should have a lot of animal rooms like a dog’s room, and by the way, these rooms are very big. There should be a cat’s room. And a bird room and a wild animal’s room. The wild animal room is even bigger than the dog and cat room. Some would say that it is about the size of the real jungle. The roof of the house should have a whole bunch of candy on top of it. The house would be so, so, so, so big that you wouldn’t be able to believe it, and the funny thing is that it was really just one of the smaller houses. That is what I think the future houses will look like. Or what I think it will look like at least. I hope it looks like what I was explaining to you. Bye. Future houses By Hunter Wilson I am writing about a future house that a long time from now people will live in. They will be big and have new technology than to day. They will be in water they will be, on the ground, or up in the sky. They will also be oddly shaped. And they will have great stuff that people today would have wanted. The cool stuff inside. They have slides, nice furniture, and pools inside them. They are really cool and the best part of all I will to live in one. I’m pretty sure every body will will want to live in them. And they are probably going to be tornado, fire, and water proof. The way you get in the houses in the sky is that there is an elevator. How to get in an underwater houses is you put scuba gear to get in the door. And of course you know how to get into a regular house. They would have an x box 3,000. It would have a Playstation 3.

Junior Journal 2016 Why my mom and dad are so great! By Kayleigh Hodson My mom and dad are not great because they give me candy and desserts and sweets. They’re great because I can trust them. They’ve always been there for me. People like their parents because they go out to eat with them and go to water parks and playgrounds. But I’m not one of those people. I also think they’re great because when we go on hikes they help me to cross deep lakes. I would look back and they would be there then I would close my eyes and say all I need to cross is my mom and my dad. And I love them because they provide the 4 most important thingsfood, water, a roof over my head, and clothing. They’re also great because when I cry they make me laugh. When I’m mad or sad they make me smile and happy. I have to admit I’m very scared of the dark but when mom and dad come and sing a song or read a book suddenly I feel so much better. I also love them because every morning I count on them to wake me up and the first thing my heart does when I see them is sing a song. I LOVE MY MOM AND MY DAD. What a house of the future will look like By Grayson Burkett We are in class, and our teacher said, “We are writing an essay on what a house will look like in the future.” In the future I imagine many things, but I have never thought of what a house would look like in the future. Maybe they wouldn’t run on electricity, they could run on chemicals. They would have enormous doors with a huge room in the front of the house. They would have couches the size of a giant. I wonder how big the TV would be? Maybe the size of the ones in the theater. The kitchen would be like a dining room at Camp Allendale. The kids would sleep in a cabin inside their room. Just imagine what the dog’s house would look like. It would be the size of my bed room. The dog would have a blast! There would be a bowling alley, a theater, an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. The back yard would be very big. Your pets would love to play out in that. The back yard would be a great place to go horseback riding. The front yard would have peacocks and a tall statue. The front of the house would be the biggest part of the house. The garage would be a four-car garage. And would have a closet for storage. There would be an attic and a basement to store your stuff. I could store coke in the basement because I love coke! The bathrooms would be huge. The toilets would be made of gold! I would love to sit on that! Maybe the laundry room will have more than one dryer and washer, so that it will be twice as fast. The walls would be painted with a paint that never comes off. I got a B on my essay. It was a good grade but I think I said the same thing over and over again. I could have done a lot better by using more details.

If I Were President By Gracee Meredith If I, Gracee Meredith, were the President of the United States of America, I would make sure everybody had food, homes, and a job. Everybody needs food, homes, and a job so that way they have money to do fun things instead of sitting on the couch eating cheese. If I were a President, I would make sure everybody had food because if not they would starve or they might die so everybody needs food. Also, everybody needs a home. I would make sure even if they didn’t have any money I would pay for a home for them to live in. Another thing that I would do is when people go out to get a job, even if they are not perfect, they should get that job or get one similar. That is why so many people don’t have homes because they don’t have a job to earn money. Another thing I would do is to make the White House smaller. I wouldn’t want to live in a big house. I would want to have something small and cozy, not something big and giant, because you might never see your family. We also need to lower the prices of pets because they are way to expensive. We definitely need to lower the prices of pets fast!!!! We also need to not waste so much food because we waste a lot of food. Almost at every restaurant there is going to be food left on the tray or the plate. So if I become President, we will stop wasting so much food. Also I think we should not have early release days so then if we don’t go to school we use that time instead of having an extra day of school. Then teachers can get work done. Also we need to lower our gas prices because they are really high. Again, if I was president, I would make sure everybody had food,a house, and a job. Everybody needs a jobeverybody! The reason why I want food, houses, and a job is that we need food to stay alive. So that would mean that fast food places have to have food to feed you, or your parents need food to make you dinner. That is why I picked food for one of my main choices. One reason why I picked houses is because people need to stay warm and be close to their family. One reason why I picked jobs is because everybody needs money to buy food. These are some things that if I, Gracee Meredith, would do if I were President of the United States! What a House in the Future will look like. By Jake Killough A house in the future will probably will have good internet. I also think it will be a lot of money. I will add that the house will really be better than now. How many bills it take to pay for it. Where will you get all that money, if you think your bills are bad think again. A new house will have a new TV. It might have a kitchen that can make food by itself. You will just have to buy a pizza and the kitchen will cook it like with mechanical arms. The video games, they will probably will be really cool. They might just have super animated games. The house might

DAILY JOURNAL have a 2 door garage like now but they might not have flying cars think if you crashed you will fly into something on the ground and probably die. Now going to room above you in your house will be much easier. You will have to go up an elevator to get to the next room. My Family By Kristyn Gillihan When I grow up and have kids, I am going to have a big house and treat my kids wonderfully, and they have to eat their dinner before they eat their And when they are good, I will give them a treat and I will treat them as good as I can. When I was little, my mom and dad gave me candy a lot. But I would not eat candy at all because it’s bad for your teeth. That is what I told them, so they said we will not feed you a whole lot of candy anymore. They let me have a little some for the day. And I will have a big house and my mom and dad will probably live with me until I am responsible enough to live by myself. When I have enough money to buy things for my kids so they have what they want and they are healthy. When they grow up they will have a great life. My mom and dad think I should give it to them but I probably should not give it to them because they probably would feed my kids candy. So that’s me when I’m older. While I’m little I will be as good as I can so I don’t get put in the corner and have to stay there for an hour. My Family By Layla Wade My dad works at KYB. My mom works at a hair shop. I love my family. My family is my everything. They love me. They care for me. My mom’s name is Jennifer. My dad’s name is Bruce. My dad is very, very, very funny. My mom is a good cook. My dad likes to goof off. My dad laughs a lot. My mom is funny. My dad likes to cook too. I have a step mom. Her name is Tracey. She is very, very nice. I have a step dad. His name is Mike. Me and my dad like to go hunting. Next year I will go deer hunting. My mom is very, very, very, very, very, very good at doing hair. I love my mom to the moon and back. I love my dad to the moon and back. This was all about my family. The End If I Was the President By Emily Moon Have you ever wanted to be president? If I were the president, I would move potholes out to the side of the road because if people leave them open they can fall in. Secondly, I would make houses for the homeless and give them enough money to buy food and get a job so they can earn their own money. Thirdly, I would make fast food places more healthy to stop child obesity. Last but not least, I would put a stop to bullying. It is a big problem in the United States of America and we can put a stop to it by eating healthier. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He was a great leader because he didn’t

DAILY JOURNAL believe in slavery or racism. He didn’t have slaves and treated black people the same as whites. Abraham Lincoln made slavery illegal, and that’s why he’s my favorite president. How to be a good president is to have good leadership and make your country better. They must react quickly to threats among foreign countries. Presidents have to be good at communicating with the public because they give public meetings and announcements. And that’s what I would do if I were president. If I Were President of the United States of America By Olivia Pendleton The President is considered the country’s chief executive. He develops federal policies, prepares national budgets, enforces federal laws, and appoints federal officials. The President needs to have qualities because the country’s division can be fixed, provided the next president brings some serious leadership to the table...and owns it, but also to make sure everyone else does the same. That’s the kind of leadership we had in early days of this great nation. That’s what we also desperately need again. Just what exactly does the President do all day? But if I was the President I would do more than sit in my chair. I will stop the taxes for people that are poor and that have no homes. The homes that are not used should be poor people’s homes and I would make school a better place and give them more supplies. If I were President, I would not make people do what they didn’t what to do. I would also listen to what everyone thinks. I would do all these things because no one would put a controlling person in charge of their county. THE END A House of the Future By Wiley Ault What would a house be like in the future, say in 3013? I would probably have a pet bearded dragon, and maybe houses would run on solar power rather than electricity. Or maybe the houses would be in the air, underwater, or underground. I would have a bed for sure The outside would be under water, but how would we get out? A glass elevator, so you could see the water on the way up. It would be amazing. The house would have a glass roof so you could see the waves swishing So what would put in it your house? A bed with wheels, probably a television, which would be pretty new and improved with new shows, a sofa, a remote control vacuum cleaner, a car in the garage and a pet. Houses in the Future By Davis Cole When I think about a house in the future, I go wild with so many ideas. First you have to have power and you have to pay for power, so I say you have your own power source. The power would run on trees, tropical plants, and flowers. Oh, you can’t forget about the sunit will produce power as well

Junior Journal 2016 as the plants! The rooms will be all iron and glass and you can see miles and miles away. The floor will be glimmering glass and under that glass will be water and amazing tropical fish that will live in the water. Oh, I almost forgot the house will be in a giant oak! There will be a beautiful waterfall gushing down from the oak’s large branches. There will be amazing tropical animals living in the large oak’s long branches. At the top of the oak there will be a landing pad for a helicopter and a garage for a huge air plane. There will be a lot of rooms and you have to go to the fast elevator to go to different floors. The oak will have the regular rooms you already have, but it will have an indoor pool and hot tub! And that is what I think is in a future house! Future Houses By Katherine Schwartz What will the future houses look like, everyone has probably been asking themselves. Will it look like a giant palace, will it look like a small house? No one knows, but people have ideas, and today I am going to tell you what I think and why. I think the house of the future will be smallvery, very small, because by about 20,000 years in the future the world will be over populated so the houses will either be as small as can be or very big like everyone else thinks. I think that if a house is as big as everyone says then the electricity bill will be big very, very big and people probably won’t have enough money to pay it. If you can’t pay the bill you will have to move to a small, small house and will not have people working for you, and the people working for you will not have any money and their house is already small, but since they lost their job they have to move to a even smaller house. That will probably happen to everyone else and what I think will come true also. Since the world’s houses will be very, very small, the kitchen will only be 3x3, and every room will be so small it will only have about 3 feet and that is I think the future people would also be very poor as I said or they will be considered rich and only have about $100! I think that the world of the future will be overpopulated (as I said) and it will be so many people we probably won’t have enough animals to eat so everyone will be a vegetarian. But since the world is overpopulated there will be no more room to grow food, so most people will die and then the world won’t be too overpopulated, so that then they have room to grow plants and food and then people will give birth to more children and then it will be overpopulated again. And then no plants again so people will die, and then people give birth and it keeps going and going unless someone in the future has invented a way to live on Earth without eating, which is probably impossible. I haven’t even started talking about no trees which means no air, which means no one will live. I think that the future won’t be exactly as good as everyone thinks. If you think the world will be as good as everyone else thinks, that’s fine, because everyone can

have their own opinion. But this is what I think. The end. If I Were President By Ella Taylor What would you do if you were elected to be president of the United States? What would you fix and what would you break? Would you make your move now or would you make your move later? Would you build people up, or be mean and cruel? How ever you rule, make sure you mean business, because running the United States is hard work. If I were elected as President of the United States of America, then I would help build homes for people who are homeless, I would also fix roads so that it would easier to eat or drink in the car without getting messy!! Also, what if kids wouldn’t get bullied for the clothes that they wear or the place that they’re from? I would fix this problem by letting kids wear what they want, but the kids that bully them would get charged a fee of first $5, then the 2nd time $10, then the third time $15, then the fourth time they would pay a fee of $20, then the fifth time the child would be expelled from school. I would give the kids comfy chairs so that their butts don’t hurt. Also, kids wouldn’t have to feel so tired during the day because they would get 4550 minute breaks to rest their brains so that they think better. Parents, are you usually tired in the morning? Well, then what if I told you that your work started at 10:00 am and ended at 5:00 pm, and your child’s school ended 5:15 pm. That would give you enough time to get to your child’s school on time. Also, how many of you are tired of the “good old” car line, hmm? Well, I would tell you that all you have to do is park in the parking lot then go inside to get your child, then come back out again! Have you ever heard the old saying, “anyone can grow up to be president?” You probably have. It’s just that that’s not true. To be a good president you’ll have to win the loyalty of the people, you’re gonna have to protect our state (winning battles), you’ll have to be strong like the ocean, and courageous like a warrior. I am inspired by President Teddy Roosevelt and President Abraham Lincoln. Teddy had an amazing love of animals and kept our states safe from our enemies. And Abe did the same. I hope that you enjoyed reading the story that I made! Future Houses By Romy Schatz Have you ever seen a mansion and you wonder what that would be like as your dream house? In the future I imagine that all the houses will be big and bigger and also have a design that would blow you away! On the inside I imagine a movie theater type living room, and in the kitchen there would be a fingerprint activated sink, stove, and fridge. I also imagine holograms for time and information instead of a computer or laptop. It’s funny how the advanced technol-

31 ogy today would be so dull in the future because technology just keeps getting better and better over time. Future houses will have so many of the objects that we have today, like refrigerators, stoves, vacuums, pools, furnaces, etc... However, the difference is that in future houses, these things will be quite advanced. Everything will be touch controlled, easily accessed from a hologram to operate them, and they will report if there is a problem to the home repair robot. That robot will fix all of the problems so your home devices will always be running great! Another awesome feature about all the electronic devices is that they will be solar powered. To charge up these devices, minirobots the size of a ladybug will fly to the devices when they are not being used. The mini-robots will collect the energy from the roof solar panels and then transfer that energy to the electronic devices. The robots are in all different shapes and sizes. They could get as tall as a basketball player! Now wouldn’t that be awesome to see a seven foot robot walking around in your mansion! There will even be a giant indoor pool. But, don’t worry about the space it will take up because there will be plenty more! Did you think the inside was awesome? Well, wait until I tell you about the back yard. Do you like playing outside in the winter and summer? In the future, the houses can have a barrier from the snow in the wintertime. When you get tired of swimming in your outdoor pool that is heated the same temperature as your house, you can open the barrier over it and have a snowball fight. Also, you can change the temperature to the barrier to make the swimming pool instantly change into an ice rink. The houses of the future are something that we can only imagine right now, but over time, you can see some of these features coming to reality. The awesome things these houses will have will be amazing and make our lives even more amazing. The amazing houses of the future will be waiting for you! What a House would be like in the Future By Jackson Wilkerson A future house would have a lot of stuff that we don’t have in our houses today or might A house in the future would have a helping robot in the house. The robot could help you in everyday chores like making coffee, helping with a baby (if you have one), making your bed, cooking dinner or if you like to make dinner, it can help you. The robot can do so much to help I think that maybe future houses would run on solar power. If the sun was not out they would probably have a backup generator that would run on electricity. They can run on a lot of different powers, crops, fossils, or natural resources. They might be running on animal power. Future houses might have new game consoles, they might have garages that are on the ground or they might be under ground. Maybe future houses might be all underground. Underground houses would be

32 awesome. It would be fun because you can make your house bigger anytime you want. The down side to underground houses is that you need oxygen tanks or something to get oxygen down to your house for you to breathe. Maybe future houses might be in a hover plate form. Maybe the garage is an elevator where you can drive in and you go up into your garage and park your car. Future houses are going to be fun, cozy, and awesome. They are going to look great and awesome. They are going to be great and fun, and I wish I could have one. What a house of the future will look like! By Brice Weir I think a future house will have a lot of things, and poor people might finally have big houses while rich people will have cool looking solar powered houses. Now that would be awesome! Solar powered houses would be hard to make. You would need a giant solar panel or something that can hold it and shingles. Everything would be solar powered except for the gas powered stuff. All the electrified appliances will be solar powered so video games, lights, and the TV will be solar powered, sinks will be solar powered, and toilets will be solar powered too. Those were just some examples of what will be solar powered. Solar panels are a lot of money. I think they are about $25,000 to $35,000 dollars, but I bet in the future they will cost less money. If you had a solar powered house, would you think it would be awesome? I would! President of the United States By Alyssa Johnson This is what I, Alyssa Johnson, would do if I were President of the United States of America. I would make sure everybody had water, family, home, and have enough money to live. Because you need water, a family, a home and enough money to live. I hope you enjoy what I would do to make the United States of America better. I would lower the prices in stores. Also I would give the homeless people some kind of very good shelter. I would keep the gas prices the same unless the I have to raise it. I would have people still have to pay taxes and try for the people to keep the earth healthy. I would have the people that work hard at their job get a bigger paycheck. I would have the tax money pay to fill in the pot holes. I would have the poor people have a good shelter too. I would make sure the people had enough money to live/survive. I would make sure the cruise boats are built properly so they can last for a very long time. I would not allow stealing. I would not allow robbing. I would allow dirt bikes on the road. I would allow golf carts on the road too. I would make sure everybody had food. I would make it so anybody can have as many pets as you want. I would make the white house smaller because you don’t have enough time to use everything, because you will be taking care of the earth or at least that is what I would be doing. I would make the kids in school wait until

Junior Journal 2016 they are in a higher grade to learn the hard stuff. I would make the school lunches healthier and better. I would make school easier. I would make the brand new games not so expensive. I would make doctor appointments not so expensive and maybe even free. I would make school specials more fun. I would make it so there are no inappropriate videos on YouTube. I would make school laptops bigger. I would allow no cheating. I would make it so you can play any sport you want, male or female. I would make it so you can have as many besties as you want. I would let you go to church if you want. If I were to get elected as President, it would be amazing even if I didn’t win. I hope you liked my essay. Oh, and before I forget, happy voting! That is what I would do if were the President of the United States of America. What Would I Do If I Was President? By Abigaile Wolfe Presidents help run America. If I were President, I would help the poor and homeless, fix the roads, and end animal abuse and terrorist attacks like ISIS. I would help the poor and homeless by buying food from stores and having a monthly ceremony and handing out food, clothes, job applications, and apartment keys. I would fix the roads by paying people to fill the potholes. Next, I would stop animal abuse by sending people to do a monthly visit to each house to check on their pets. Finally, the biggest problem of all is terrorist attacks. I would create an army big enough to fight and an underground base to protect people. I try to end racism by having a party with all races of people, and I would put them with a partner so they could meet new people from other cultures. I would dedicate my life to solving these problems. My personal favorite President was Theodore Roosevelt. He was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, and a naturalist. A President is such an important part of our big and beautiful country. If we did not have Presidents, the country would be chaotic with crime, car crashes, and even more! I’ve wanted to be President since I was young, so I always check the news to see what problems we have and how I can help fix them. If you want to solve a problem, you need to read also. Reading and learning can be the solution to every problem. Each and every President was known for what he did. He, not she. That’s silly, isn’t it? George Washington was a founding father, and also the very first President to not live in the White House. But not only Presidents are special. Benjamin Franklin was not a President, but he still made an awesome discovery. I would try to both invent things and help people. I would build schools that do not cost too much. I would also love to open more parks for the kids, and have personal babysitters so parents can have a night out to themselves, and the playground would have a miniature hotel for overnights called The Children’s Inn. I think all parents should have at least one night

out a month. Parents are like miniature Presidents of their households. If I were President, I would try to be kind, but if the other countries declared war, I would lead us to fight and then try to make peace. Being nominated for President would be the most exciting moment ever, and even if I do not win, it would be an honor. A house from the future By Mackenzie Taylor A house from the future might look like an Easter egg or an air port. One might look like an hot air balloon or an hotel. One might even look like an number. One can look like an office or an mansion. A future house can look like a green house. A house could look like a water house. One house could look like a swirly loop. One could float. One can look like an treehouse. A future house can look like an restaurant or the inside of an restaurant. A house from the future can look like an house in China Japan or Asia. One might even look like a spaceship. A future house can look like a spaceship. And all future houses can look like allot of things. Why my parents are awesome By Jackson Wise My parents are so awesome because they push me to do stuff to make me better. They are awesome because they care about other people and not just themselves. They’re also awesome because they say they would do anything to keep me safe. They don’t accept bad grades. If I get bad grades I can’t play sports. When we play sports my dad coaches and pushes us to be better than what we are already. My mom helps me with basketball and if I screw around she leaves and I won’t get better. My parents are awesome because they take care of me. When my mom was young she had to do chores before she did anything fun. They set good examples by never giving up and I follow their examples. They also do their best in what they do. All they want me to do is try my best. They don’t care if I do good only if I try my best. Also they set good examples by being kind to people and we try our best to do the same. In school they did their best and they want us to do the same. All they want us to do is try our best and don’t give up and that’s what we do. I love my parents because they bye me stuff and sign me up for sport. Also they throw great parties for my birthday. My parents also let me do stuff other people can’t do. They took me to a Indiana Pacers game. During the football season my mom and dad drive me to the fields and in tournaments in Ohio. My parents buy me football gear. They even bought me Kyrie Irving shoes for basketball and they cost 100$. They even took us to Florida for spring break. My parents bought me KD dress shoes and those are expensive. In Florida my dad bought me college football helmets and they cost $30. For Christmas I got a ton more. He even taught me how to play a game with them. When I grow up I want to be a parent just like them because they are so awesome.

DAILY JOURNAL Isom Elementary Second grade Amber Ploutz If I were president of the United States By Annabelle Martinez If I get elected to be the United States of America president I would be making history.

If I were President By Melanie Le If I were President of the United States of America, I would help establish a law that requires everyone to recycle their trash. Recycling helps to keep a clean and healthy environment for the people and animals to be more healthy and get sick less often. One of my favorite presidents is Abraham Lincoln because of what he did for our country. He fought against slavery. Many slaves got their freedom because of him. A good president needs to have special qualities such as a good caring heart to serve the people of his or her country. Another important quality for a president to have is honesty. A president should be honest and not lie to his or her people. I would be a good president because I have these qualities. If I were President By Ava Turner If I were President, I would help people

DAILY JOURNAL that don’t have food, or don’t have a home. If I were President, I would help people that don’t have money. I would help them get a job. I would always make good laws, and choices. I would make taxes lower. If I were President, I would have better medical care for veterans and their families. If I were President, I’d be good at listening and flexibility, smart and fair. George Washington is my favorite because he was first president. He fought in the French and Indian War. Why my mom and dad are so great! By Lillyan Lacy My mom and dad are so great because they make pancakes for me in the mornings. One time my mom made me an Olaf pancake with Olaf pancake maker.

I will put my table in a room which will be called the crafting room. In my backyard I’m going to have a pool. I am going to buy a dog. Outside I am going to put and hanged my clothes.

My car will be a submarine car that has autopilot so I can sit back and watch all the underwater animals. I’ll put it in the garage that will drain all the water out before I open the door to my house. I’ll have a robotic maid that will clean my hose and my clothes. Cooking will be easy because I’ll have a meal maker. All you have to do is press a button and whatever you want comes out for you to eat. In the bathroom you stand on a foot marks and with voice commands you can get washed up, have your teeth brushed. I’ll have a hologram TV but when I get tired of that I’ll use a remote to change my walls of glass to different seasons or places on earth. So if I can make this underwater house would you come visit me?

Inside I will have a fancy kitchen and a window that is very, very big. I will also have a game room and a giant TV. I will have a control panel and a room for the night with a camera tablet for the night if anyone wants that.

Isom Elementary Fourth grade Amy Franco If I Were President of the United States By Lesley Rodriquez If I were president of the United States of America, I would try to stop world hunger and try to get every family a home. I would also try to bring people to justice. I would follow my leader Abraham Lincoln because he brought the whole country to justice while it was at war. He was against slavery just like I am. The top two kinds of qualities a president needs to have is ability to create trust because the president might not always be great at communicating. Also, another great quality is decision like deciding what to give other countries and deciding if making new things. Fun things I will do as president will either be play in the Rose Garden or play basketball outside the White House.

Needham Elementary Third grade Jessica Grismore If I were president of the United States of America By Lou Cox If I were president of the United States of America it would be awesome! If I were in charge I would help fight hunger by buying more food for the people with hunger and by giving some of my food to them. My favorite president is John Adams. The reason I like John Adams because he was fair and if I was running in a campaign I would be fair. I wouldn’t want to cheat. The qualities I think a president should have are respect for laws, happiness , and no selfish desire. The reason I think that is because he needs to be a good example for us , we don’t want a grumpy president ,and he also needs to think about us. That’s what I would do if were the president of the U.S.A. If I were President of the United States By Alex Leugers If I were president of the United States it would be hard. If I was in charge I would help people and save animals. I think animals are awesome. I would help people too! It would be bad if people were getting hurt every day. I would make sure everyone is happy. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He liked to read, and so do I! A president needs to have good qualities, so here are some of mine. He needs to be nice because no one wants a mean president. Let’s say if someone got hurt, and the president saw it, you would want him to be nice right? I would like a fun President. I’m very smart would want a intelligent President. That’s what I would do if I were President. If I Were President of the United States By Harjot Singh If I were president of the United States it would be Fun! If I were the person who controlled the United States here are some things I would do to help people and animals. First I would not charge tax and I would rescue dogs and any animals in danger. Not charging tax helps people get back on there feet. Rescuing animals helps us and animals like cows help us make milk so we should help them and other animals too. My favorite president is Franklin D. Roosevelt was very kind and he helped us in the great depression. If we had new president here are some qualities I would want he should be hardworking and nice. If he were hard working he could do good things for our country. I would want him to be nice because who wants a mean president. These are things I want in a president and would do if I were the president. If I was President of the United States By Kalel Petitt If I was president of the United States it would be healthy. If I was in charge I would make a law that says if you smoke you will be arrested. It is bad for your lungs. I would say on news “no

smoking” because everyone loves the news. My favorite president is George Washington because he fought in a war to get freedom and for our country. A quality a president needs to be is nice, kind and sweet because if he was it people will not like him. That is what I will do if I was president. If I Were President By Bailey Stroud If I was president of the United States of America it would be fun. If I were in charge I would not make up silly rules and make my rules fair. I would not make up silly rules because I would not want my president to do that. I would make up fair rules because I do not want people to complain about me. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he is brave. His mother died from drinking spoiled milk. His sister died from giving birth. His father got remarried. These are some qualities a president needs to have a kind heart, have feelings and remember not to get ahead of themselves. They need to have a kind heart because I do not want to have a mean president. They need to have feelings because I do not want a president that does not have feelings for us. I also do not want them to get ahead of himself because then they will make up silly rules. Those are some things I would do if I were president.

Needham Elementary Third grade Amy Jepsen If I were President of the United States of America By Davis If I were president of the United States of America it would be fun. If I were in charge I would make school at least five hours long. Seven hours of school is a long time to learn. I would also make sure all homeless people have a home. I don’t think it is fair that people have to sit on the street all day. My favorite president is George Washington because he was the first president of the United States of America. The qualities I would have be happy, funny, nice, athletic because I would want the United States of America to be like me. That is what I would do if I were in charge of the United States of America. If I Were President By Kylah Serignet If I were president of United States of America it would be amazing. If I were in charge I would give people an education and people food. They can get a job they deserve and they can live without hunger if they have education and food. My favorite president is John Adams. I like John Adams because he wanted to achieve great things like he signed the declaration of independence. The kind of qualities a president needs to have is being nice and determined. I would smile and never give up. That’s what I would be like if I were president.

DAILY JOURNAL If I Were President By Alaina Parrish If I were president of the United States of America it would be joyful. What I would change if I in were in charge would be everyone can not smoke. Smoking is very bad and horrible for you. Another thing I would change would be that everyone plays 60. Playing 60 is very healthy and everyone should do it. My favorite president is Abe Lincoln . I like him because he stood against slavery. Slavery was a horrible thing, and if you changed that , you would be a wonderful person. A president needs to have good qualities. Some qualities a president needs to have are loyal, brave, and strong. A president needs to be loyal because it would let people know that you are a good leader, and you wouldn’t tell lies to get them on your side. A president also needs to be brave because you would let the people know you could fight in any war against another big person. Another big quality is strong . You definitely need to be strong because you let the people know that you are a very good leader. That’s what it would be like if I were president.

Needham Elementary Fourth grade Dianna Bennis Why My Mom and Dad are so Great By Ashlyn Roeser My dad served 21 years in the United States Marine Corps, including two tours in Iraq. He loved his country so dearly that he would give his life to save what he loved, his country. He is a great man. I am truly proud to have him to call Dad. Whenever I think about him, I think of a hero. He will never stop fighting for what is right. “No better friend. No worse enemy.” Me and my two sisters are proud to call him our hero, our father, our one and only. My mom is an outstanding woman. She is loving, caring and patient. She is a wonderful mother to have. Not to mention, she is a really, really good cook. She is mine. I am thankful for that. She had to deal with so much when dad would leave to war. She never would show that he might not come home. She was strong enough to keep three children calm and herself along with them. SO if this is not brave, I don’t know what is. My dad tells me to be strong and to follow my heart. He truly shows me how to. My mom has influenced me to do what I love no matter what anyone else thinks. So, with that, I do what I love: write. And so, I write about how great my parents are. If I Were President By Macy Bullington If I were president, I would do many great things inspired by John F. Kennedy. I would first make sure everyone had a home. Then I would update security in America. Next, I would do something even better than the first two ideas. I would make sure that schools had the money they need to get materials for students. I could get America out of debt. One more thing, I could make

DAILY JOURNAL Americans believe in what they can do and make them be proud to say “I am proud to live in America.” Those are just some of the things I would do if I were president. My favorite president is John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy did more than just lead our country. He inspired us. I would want to bring back the vibe he had. He definitely made an impact on America. He made me want to be president. I heard he had said in one of his speeches, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy made an impact on the USA and me. A president needs to be a leader. Not only that, but she will face reality no matter how scared she might be. I know the biggest quality is courage, but also knowing when something is too much. I know that you should also care about the citizens’ problems. These are the qualities of a US president. I feel that everything I have talked about are things America should consider while voting for their next president. These are reasons why I should become president one day. House of the Future By Bronson Deeter Have you ever thought about what the houses of the future would look like? Well, I have and it would be a really great house to live in. It would have four neat things in the house and one is a super sorter. If you open it, it is like a computer because when you put something in, it tells you how much and has an image of the object. It also has a super computer that tells you anything you want and you can make a 3D hologram. It will also have robots that will assist you when you need something. The house will also have glasses that have multipurpose that makes blind people see and also they are sunglasses. The shape of the house will be a circular shape that is three stories high. Anyone can live there because there would be enough for everyone in the world because they would be free, but every person would only be allowed one. It would have a garage that would be as tall as the house and a door from every floor. Also it would have an elevator in the garage so you could get to all of your cars. If you went to the third floor and you got in your car, how would you get down? Well, there is a ramp that on the floor you are on the ramp goes down all the way to the ground. Why My Parents are Cool By Bryce Stern “Oh, I didn’t see you there. Do you want to know why my parents are cool?” Enough chit-chat, let me tell you why my parents are cool. One reason why they’re cool is they always get my sisters, brother and I cool presents. This year, they got me another bike, which is really fast. They also got me other cool presents. But let’s focus on the important stuff. I’m back. My parents also keep a roof

Junior Journal 2016 under my head and pay the bills but they say that’s a lot of hard work but they also pay for the food I eat and the flat screen I got on Monday, but yeah, stay tuned for more reasons why my parents are cool. That’s all from reporter Stern. Stay tuned. My Parents are Great By Jackson Kidd Here are some reasons why my parents are great. My parents have shown me to be a responsible, nice and caring kid, which, for starters, makes them great. They have also taught me to have good manners, do what I am told, try my hardest at school, etc. When parents take time to teach their kids the basics and beyond, this shows they are great parents. Even if your parents are divorced like mine, that doesn’t mean they love you any less than they ever have and they might not live together or love each other but they still don’t want the other to not be able to see their kid. My parents also set good examples for me, like helping neighbors out, taking stray animals to shelters, making sure no one at work needs help, etc. I’m already starting to take after them by helping neighbors and trying not to harm the environment. There are so many reasons my parents are great you couldn’t list them on a million pieces of paper. OK, that was a little bit of exaggeration, but for real, the only reason I am here today is because of my parents. That is why I wrote about my parents and how great they are. If I Were President By Mia Tennell If I were president of the United States of America, I would fix a lot of problems we have now. In order to change our country, I would try to create peace with ISIS by speaking up and fighting for ourselves. Right now, they’re winning by attacking government buildings. We are afraid of them when they should be afraid of us. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He fought against slavery and finally ended it with the Emancipation Proclamation. Unlike most U.S. presidents, Lincoln stood up for African-Americans. Right now, American needs a president who will face reality and fight back. Future Home By Solomon Manning If I lived in the future, I would make my home in the shape of a cabin. It would have 50 square acres of land. It would have a lab, an office and a bedroom (The bathroom will be downstairs.) The kitchen would also be downstairs. In the lab, there would be lots of minerals that I would find in a mine inside of the lab. My house would be built on the side of a mountain in Idaho, the place where I was born. In the office, there would be a laptop, a chair, a desk and a bunch of filing cabinets. The cabinets would have lots of papers explaining all of the details of the minerals in the lab.

And at last, my bedroom would be four acres wide and it would have a dresser, a four-poster bed, a TV and a fish tank with a snapping turtle in it. If I Were President By Ivy Foley Hello! My name is Ivy and today I will be talking about what would happen if I were president of the USA. OK, so if I were president, the first thing I would do is I would make sure that all the homeless had homes and all the resources they need to live a long and healthy life. OK, I have a confession to make. My favorite president is Barack Obama. I know no one likes him, but he can still do good too. Like with Obamacare, my grandma has health insurance. Thanks to him, she’s still alive. Every president needs certain qualities. The No. 1 quality is to be kind. Another is forgiving. The third most important quality is brave. This is Ivy signing off with thoughts if I were president. If I Were President By Alaina Miller If I were president, I would drive ISIS out of the USA. I would bring money to the poor, give the homeless a home and save wildlife from harm. I would also bring freedom around the whole world. My favorite president is George Washington, the first president of the USA. The reason why he is my favorite is because he brought peace and freedom to the USA. I wish to be like him when I grow up. What kind of qualities a president should have are positive, calm, caring, intelligent, serious, friendly, kind, peaceful, wish hardworking and light-hearted. These are the qualities a president should have. These are what I would do if I am president of the USA. My Parents are Great By Isabella Hoge-Mills My parents are very protective of my four brothers and I. But in a good way. As an example, a couple nights ago … “Love you Mom,” I said. Mom closed my bedroom door and went downstairs to close the gate surrounding our property. Also before she went to bed, she turned on the alarm. So my parents aren’t going to let anything happen to us. That is my first reason to prove that my parents are great. Another reason my parents are great is they keep us healthy. They make almost every meal at home and there is a veggie, a fruit, a grain and a dairy in every meal. My parents also are great examples. They help out neighbors, animals and the environment. They don’t yell or scream at us or to each other. They also have taught me to be a good person. That is why my parents are great! House of the Future By Maddie Anderson My future house will be located in Florida. It will be in Leesburg, Florida, to be exact

35 because then I will be able to see my grandparents. My house will be a rectangle with an east wing. It would have 111 closed-off rooms. It will also have an open kitchen and living room. My future house will have 20 acre, two of them taken up by my house. In my house, I will have my family, three kids, my husband and I. I would also have five dogs. They will be a black mouth cur, mountain cur, German shepherd, husky and a Pomeranian, all very protective dogs. I will have three horses. My house will have a garage (good to keep the car cold in winter.) My house will have a room all dedicated to my dogs. A Future Home? By Drew Kegerreis What do you think a future home would be like? Underground, in the sky, on the moon? There are so many possibilities! But there is only one I dream of. The future home I dream of sounds amazing! Let me tell you about it. My future dream home is a tall tower in the sky with a half UFO kind of shape on top. The coolest part, I think, is that there would be five small spaceships so you could fly around, but no garages. You would just park them on the side. Now let’s talk about the inside. So there would be awesome floating chairs and couches. There would also be rechargeable robot butlers! They could make you food or get you a drink. They would do anything for you. There would even be an indoor pool in every house. You’re probably wondering how big the house would have to be. Well, stop your wondering because I will tell you that right now. My house would have to be really big because there would even be an elevator that goes to a secret hot tub in the basement. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone about it, it’s secret. Of course, it has to have room for a pool and the flying couches. I don’t know about you, but my future home sounds pretty cool. Maybe one day homes will be that cool and I will keep dreaming. If I Were President By Andy White Welcome back to the Andy News Show. If I were president, I would take care of our country. Make sure to show respect for every other president. So enjoy. If I were in charge of our country, I would defend the world against ISIS. If I make promises, those promises I will keep. I will make sure to entertain the young and treat the elder with care. That is what I would do if I were president. OK, I have a confession to make. My favorite president is George Washington. He is my favorite because he fought in the Revolutionary War. Also he became the first president of the United States. Although he had slaves, he is a good guy. What qualities, you ask? If you were president, you would definitely

36 need qualities. The average president wants to be rich and famous, but I want to be a brave president. So this is why I want to be president. This is Andy, signing off. If I Were President By JD Sever “Four score and seven years ago …” If I were president, it would be a dream come true, like really amazing! There would be a hunch of work, but it would be the best job ever. I could go on and on about what a president would be like. These, though, would be the best ways I can imagine being president. First, I am going to tell you around what I would do if I was. I would help as much of the poor as I could (not as much of losing all America’s money, though). I think the wars of this country is the most problem we have. To try to join nations would help with peace and liberty for all people of the world. I think if no people die, no people will suffer from money, losing hope and a lot of other poor people problems we have here. Violence is the worst of all when people homicide each other. I would put more police out so there would not be all the murderers running around. These are just the few I will do for justice, liberty and hope, for everyone should have a good life if they only have one. My favorite president is the 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Franklin led us through one of America’s harsh time, World War II. He was the president when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Roosevelt kept everyone’s spirits up and helped us in the war to make the win we had. Franklin also was so determined to help America that he was inflicted with the disease polio. The polio made him unable to walk. I think he must be really determined if he had polio and still wanted to be president! His profound determination led us out of the harsh moments of World War II. That is why he is my favorite president. There are also a lot of qualities somebody needs to be president. The most main thing is caring. If a president does not care, why is he a president? Trustworthy is a big thing too. If he is not, the lie he would make darkness come into America. He would have to be a genius too, from all the money and math there is in the job. Kindness would also be a big quality. He (or she) would have to listen to other people’s thoughts too, so they can see what’s good for them. The qualities of a president are in everybody, you just have to let them out. Being president would be a dream, it might come true … The House of the Future By Alex Bordenkecher Would you like to know what my house of the future would look like? Well, I can tell you. My house would be levitating so you would have to use the teleporter on the ground to get up. That will take you up to a

Junior Journal 2016 balcony with a locked sliding door. There is a panel next to it to type in a passcode. Once inside, you’ll be in an oval shaped room. This room serves as a living room. The furniture is normal, a TV, a couch, a few comfy chairs. Off the room, there is a hallway. Down at the end, you will find the kitchen. The kitchen is a nice room with lots of windows. There is a high-tech stove and microwave and a lot of cabinet space. There is seating for five people. Don’t forget the fridge for 3064 grade cake. Another door of the kitchen is the garage to house my deadly spaceship, which I named “Pulverize.” If you don’t use the teleporter down below, you fly through the wall. The wall is actually a hologram but it is not there so criminals can’t pull into the garage because they don’t know where it is. Back in the original hallway, there is one more thing we need to explore: my bedroom. My bedroom has a few dressers, a computer and another TV. Off of that, there is a bathroom. Let’s not describe that. That’s what my future home would look like. My Future Dream House By Emily Berger “There’s no place like home.” Well, now there isn’t. I want a future dream house. A big dream house. A beautiful dream house. A bright and sunny dream house. Nothing could be better. In this future dream house, I will have many glorious and fancy things. I will have a fire place to keep warm with a fancy gorgeous couch to sit on. I’ll have a pretty kitchen that has a baking and cooking area. I will add a pretty bed to the highest floor with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. One closet with all the clothes I like and one row of shoes will be in there. Nothing will be better. The shape of my house will be like a hotel. I’ll have it look like a huge long rectangle like they are in the city. I’ll be in the country. I would have a garage because I can store many things in it. I would store fruits and veggies in a fridge. The fridge will be in the garage and will hold half of my food. I’ll also store many utensils and tools. Nothing will be better. My future dream house will be big. Bigger than big. Huge! My house will be five stories with four rooms per story. As you can see, I want my future dream house to be big! My future dream house will be the biggest house in the USA. Nothing will be bigger. Many people and animals will be in my future dream house. I will have six pugs and one teacup pig. That’s just the animals. I’ll take home the homeless and poor and clean them up. I’ll get them a job and when they have enough money, I’ll send them away to create a new generation. I know my future dream house will probably not come true, but I’m just a kid thinking it will.

Needham Elementary Fourth grade Melissa Moore Why My Mom Is So Great By Dylan Shepperd My Mom and Dad are great because whenever I feel scared, they help me feel safe. I love them with all of my heart. One time I thought I snapped my wrist, and they took me to the doctor and told me it would be ok. I would be lost without my parents. I love them very much! Why my mom and dad are so great By Tristen Roberts My mom is great because she does a lot of things for me, like buy me food, buy me clothes, and take me to restaurants. My dad is so great because he takes me to the mall sometimes, and he takes me to eat at Bob Evans. (That’s our favorite restaurant.) Another reason my mom is so great is that she always does my hair. She also takes me to the Shoe Carnival to get shoes. Another reason my dad is so great is that he takes me to his house, and we play games with my little sister Destine. Both my mom and dad are great because they both take care of me, and they also Celebrate things with me, like Easter, Halloween, birthdays, and Valentines Day. And that’s why my mom and dad are so great. If I were President of the United States By Caroline Jones If I Were President of the United States...I would be a great president! The first thing I would do is lower the tax rates so people would buy more things, and I could get lots of money. (It’s a win-win situation). I also could change the United States by making a company called Pocket Bank. How it works is by using a card, kind of like a credit card. If you don’t have enough money it saves the money you didn’t have at the time, and puts it on your card. After 2 months without paying the money back at the bank, we add $3.00 on your Pocket Bank card. Another good idea is to add an extra room to each classroom so you can have a mini library with awesome chairs. It would be cool if each student had an IPad so they could have educational games and a bunch of learning stuff on it. That’s what I would change if I were President. What a house of the future would look like By Wyatt Leeper It would be a machine. It would be 120 feet tall and 68 feet wide. The people living in it would be me. It would have butlers. In the sports area, which would be outside, it would have a basketball court. It would have a football field. It would have a tennis court. In it would be a gameroom where there is a flat screen TV, a Playstation 4, an Xbox 360, and all kinds of games. There would be a computer and a laptop. There would be 12 bathrooms, 10 bedrooms, two kitchens, four living rooms, and two base-

DAILY JOURNAL ments. It would have four K9s outside guarding the front yard, and two in the backyard. In the living room there would be 2 sofas, a flatscreen TV, and a laptop. And in the kitchen there would be a 12-foot-long refrigerator, a stove, a counter, and cabnets. In the bedroom, there would be a 10-foot bed, a flatscreen TV, a dresser, a 10-foot closet, and some pictures of my dog. In my front yard there would be flowers, two trees, and a tree house in the trees that are connected by a bridge. And in my garage there will be a Mustang, two Monster trucks, which are Grave Digger and MAX-D. I will have a barn in the backyard where there are two horses, four cows, and a pig. If I were President of the United States By Lexi Willey If I were President of the United States, I would give every homeless person a house, car, food, and money. I would build my own school for kids whose parents don’t have money, so the parents don’t have to pay for their kids to go to school. I would give every kid in the world a pet so they won’t be lonely. I would let anybody who has a job get off every holiday. I will make every poor person rich. I will build churches for people to pray every day. I would let kids to vote so they can have their own opinion for their life. I would read the kids books, teach them about all the presidents of the United States of America. Why my mom and dad are so great By William Strain My mom is great because she lets me play at the park when she is going to the store. She lets me play the Xbox 360. She said I can play Call of Duty. That is why she is great. My dad is great because he let’s me play at Sky Zone. He plays dodgeball with me too. He lets me play the Xbox1. He lets me play football on it. That is why my dad is great. My Future House By Aaron Hickey If I had a future house what would it look like? Well, I think that it would be a big house with cobalt blue and scarlet red outline! It would be beautiful with four small pillars holding up a small roof up above the doors. My future house would have five bathrooms and a big common room with a 62-inch TV. I would have a huge bedroom with a bunk bed just like the one I have now, but hovering. I would also have a big fireplace that is like a stove and doesn’t need wood but has a lever that you can flip to turn it on. My kitchen would be big, for my mother of course! She loves to cook and is very dear to me. For my brother, Ian would have a whole room just to himself, with his favorite things, computers and electronics. My other brother, Alex, would get a room filled with gymnastics equipment. As for my dad, I think he would like a room filled with tools. My future house would have a built-in

DAILY JOURNAL library with ten copies of my favorite book Dragon’s Egg. Finally, last but not least, my backyard would have a garden, a soccer field, and a trampoline. I think that I thought up a pretty awesome future-based house! Why My Mom Is So Great By Brody Petro I like when she drank water or put on chapstick. She loved cats, and I love them too. She always gave me big hugs. I love my mom. Future Houses By Austin Yates In the future I think houses will have hoverboards to get you to different stories of your house. And I think that phones will have holograms to talk to people. Phones’ passwords will have voice confirmation. Shoes will have built in hoverboards. Normal cars are Lamborghinis and Bugattis. TV’s have holograms that make it look like that what’s happening in the movie is happening in real life in your house. You have robot maids and robot butlers. The house is 100 million feet wide and 100 million feet long and 100 million feet high. It also has a builtin 500 feet long inside pool and spa. Every car in the world flies. Every house has a built-in zoo and people can own a pet martin or alien. Everybody in my family would live in my house. Beds have built in massage machines. It will have a weight room and a video game room with every video game and console in the world. Also rooms would have self-dressing machines. That’s what I think future houses will look like.

Needham Elementary Fourth grade Jenn Shoultz My House of the Future By Jonathon Pfifer When I heard the topic of “House of the Future,” I immediately thought of robots and jetpack shoes but then I looked around my house and I realized that my future dream house would be exactly the same as the one I have now. If I changed my house I’d miss all of the special things I already have in my life. I wouldn’t have a superstar or the president in my house. I would much rather have my family because a house is not a home without someone you love and their who I love most. If I had a robot it would probably do my homework for me but that isn’t what I want. I want my regular life and if I keep it I can keep pushing myself and one day achieve my goal and become a veterinarian. My dad and I both love going on adventures and cool trips together and if we had a house 700 feet above the ground we couldn’t take one step off of the porch. My mom and I like going shopping together so if someone just brought things to us it just wouldn’t be the same. And most importantly my baby one-year old brother. He is the biggest reason I would keep my house. Again,

Junior Journal 2016 if my house was in the sky I wouldn’t get to see him walk in the grass and see him looking like he was thinking “What is this thing that’s tickling my toes?” So, if someone were to ask me what my dream future house would be, I’d answer that person, “Exactly what I have now.” My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Jaden Blades Do you know why my mom and dad are so great? My mom said, “You are the greatest kid ever!” They don’t argue around me ever, and they clean dishes (because I do the dishes) and laundry and the beds. My Mom and Dad Are Great By Lahari Siddabathula Have you ever thought mom and dad are the worst just because they don’t buy you the things that you want? Well you’re wrong because they provide the things you need and they want to give you everything. Maybe when they were little they didn’t have anything they wanted. Instead you could think how awesome they are or how they set good examples. Just think of the good things about them, think of the love. Have you ever thought how awesome your parents are? When you just think on what they’re providing you. They give you food, they give you toys, then even give you love. Maybe your dad was a skateboarder or your mom was a gymnast and maybe they also faced the problems you’re having. Your parents are amazing even when they don’t know. Do your parents set good examples? They probably do. When they taught you if you were bullied or your trying to avoid something you know to go to them because they taught you! If they didn’t you probably would still be bullied, but if they did their setting a good example. Your parents are parents they can’t change that but what they can change or upgrade how they are loving you. Yeah that’s right they love you. What’s so amazing about their life? You! You are the light of their life or sparkle in their eye. Their most important responsibility is you. They love you no matter what. House of the Future! By Lane McElyea Have you ever thought of what a future house will look like, have in it, how big it will be, who would live there, and will you have a garage? A future house will look like a giant bull ready to attack. It will be black and gray. A future house will have a private room for monster trucks to ram and crush cars. It will have every type of gun you could think of. It will have every type of car. It will have a 1,000.000 inch TV with every type of show. A house will be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 acres long with guard dogs and it will have dogs inside the house. A future house will have a garage

because it will have to fit every type of car in the world. It will also hold all of my baseball gear and machines for baseball. In my future house my whole family and all of there friends and family plus somebody’s own friends since it has 300 black and silver rooms in it and the rooms will be 300 inches long and 400 inches high. That is what a future house will look like I hope so. House of the Future By Sam Welch What do you think a house of the future would look like? I think it would look like this. I would put Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Chargers in my house. There would be an xbox and a PS4. I would have a IPhone 6S and a ds. My house would be really long and really tall, there would be a balcony on the roof it would be a quadlevel. There would be five triangles on the roof that touched the sun. My house would be gigantic, as high as the sky with UFOs on top of my house. It would be 1,000,000,000 square feet in width and 2,000,000,000 in square feet in height. My mom, dad, my two brothers, my dog and me. My Aunt and Uncle would come over and make us cookies sometimes. My garage would have Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Chargers, Mustangs, sport cars, muscle cars, dirtbikes, four wheelers, dunebuggies, and motorcycles. There would be pink cars and yellow, green, purple, brown, gold, blue, red, black and gray cars. My garage would be 3,000,000,000 square feet in width. There would be UFOs in my garage, planes, jets, and blimps. There would be a really bouncy trampoline behind my garage. My house would be 300,000,000,000 dollars. That is what my future house would look like. If I Were President By Emma Sappenfield If I were president I would be an awesome one! When I get to be president I will change school days to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and that’s it. I’d also add that school lunch can have cotton candy and ice cream and sweets, and of course freedom and the rights to do things. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln, because he changed the world when he freed the slaves and that was a very important time in American history. I think that presidents qualities should be being nice, equal, thoughtful, have willpower, and have rights to do things. That’s what I would do if I were president, now please vote for me! If I Were President of the United States By Lance Jones Do you want to know what I would do if I were president of the United States of America, I would shut down the borders so ISIS could not come in. I would make every gun store check peoples ID before they buy a gun for criminal records, the last two things I would do is build up the Army,

37 Military, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard, the last thing I would do is build back friendship with Russia. Do you want to know my favorite president his name is George Washington, yes my favorite president is the 1st, you know why because he gave us Independence from the country where my family comes from Great Britain. The qualities I think a president has to have is sense, they have to do what’s best for are country, and the last thing is they need to not start wars. My Mom is Great By Ava Maree Hernandez My mom is great and so is yours. I am the person who is going to tell you why your parents are great. My mom is awesome by going to work everyday just so we can get food in our bellies. She also helps my sis feel good when she misses there dad when they are getting divorced. My mom is really helpful thank you mom. My mom sets good example because she shows confidence by standing up to bullies for her sister and other people. She tells me stand up for what is right even if it is for Emma Shclosser, my cousin, even though people are your friend stand up for the right thing. My mother is the heart of the home and your mom is too. You should always love your mom and be good for her. House of the Future By Zain Khan I would put in a flat screen TV and get my own butler. I would also have a limo and a lifetime supply of awesome video games. It would be shaped like a big tower with a UFO shaped living room at the top of the tower. The tower is 250 feet tall tower that’s light blue, and the UFO living room is a mint green color and is 10 yards wide. I would live there with my family and invite my friends and cousins to come and stay over some time. I would have a the biggest garage in the world. It’s so big, it can fit my limo and nine other cars. That would be my amazing future house. Honestly, I’d call it a mansion. My Mom is so Great By Xavier Smiley My mom is so great because she said that we all could go to Rascal’s Fun Zone on my B-day. She says we could go to a petting zoo to pet the animals and feed them. My mom sets good examples for me by cleaning the house, washing the dishes, and cleaning the laundry she also sets a good example by helping me with my homework. House of the Future By Ethan Demaree Guess what I am going to have in my future house. I going to have a 100,000,000 flat screen on the wall TV. I am going to

38 have a storage room to store my Star Wars stuff. My house is going to be huge. It will take a quarter of the block. It will be painted black with fireballs painted on the sides. I would live there until I can’t afford it anymore then sell it. I would have a garage with all kinds of cars. That’s my future house. House of the Future By Haley Kay Lamphire I love to think about the future, do you? I am going to tell you what I think a future house would look like. I would put new cool furniture. Like hovering couches, tables, chairs, and beds. I think we will have every thing colored blue, gray, and black. My future house would be in the shape of a circle, it would have a elevator going up stairs. It would be four stories, each story would have a good purpose one would be a garage, one would be a bedroom/living room floor, one would be a bathroom/kitchen, the last floor would be a basement. The future house would be HUGE! In a house of the future, people with hover boards and cars would wear clothes that are blue, gray, and black. It would have a garage because if it did not the hover cars would fly away. If I Were President By Clay Pinnick Have you ever thought of being president? If I were president of the United States of America I would get rid of bad drugs, I wouldn’t let civilians carry guns around the city, and I wouldn’t let terrorists into our country. My favorite president is George Washington because he was the first president to live in the White House. The kind of qualities a president needs to have is sense of humor, be nice, kindness, happiness, respectfulness, and citizenship. That is what I would do because I want to help get rid of bad stuff. The House of the Future By Pawanjeet Deol Do you want to know what my house of future will look like, If you don’t want to I’ll tell you anyway. The beautiful things I will in my house will be a modern table with a silver lamp with a red button so I can call my robotic maid. I will also have a silver sphere with some flowers on it. My house will be floating in the air with flowers around and it will be rectangular house with a deck in front of my room and it also will be floating. It would be big as three big houses and it would be a mansion with 200 room for maids and servants. I will live there with my mom and dad, brother, dog and cat with 100 maids, 20 servants, 90 chefs and 1 butler. I would have a garage for all my storage. My House of the Future! By Neha Patel The neat things that I am going to put in

Junior Journal 2016 my future house is a beautiful vases with flowers in them. Some white furniture with rose designs and sparks. A white bed that has a panda bear blanket. It would have a library with the best books in the whole United States because I love books. I will also have a office where I can work. I will have a room where I am going to put my seashell collection. I am going to have a beautiful rose garden in the back of the house. The shape of my house is going to be a rectangle with 4 stories with a roof and a chimney for my fire smoke to get through. People who are going to live in my house is my family and I because we have a small house and we have ten people in my family, also my mom needs a big kitchen to feed all of those people including me. I will take a two door garage because we have three cars. Well one car is a old car but it can park on the driveway while the other cars are in the garage. The size of the garage should be big of the two cars. Why My Mom is Great By Maddie Newton My mom is so great and here are the reasons why. When I had throat problems my mom took me to the hospital for surgery. Also another reason is that when she sees me or my sister get hurt or sick at 1:00 in the morning, she will take a few sleep hours just to try to make us feel better. Another reason is when she sees me sick she asks me “are you OK?” or “Do you feel like school today?” And she sometimes lets me stay home. My mom sets really good examples by: Cleaning up the house. Also putting away the dishes. And letting me play on the Xbox 360 after chores. I love my mom with all my heart. My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Raeleigh Hunter My mom and dad are the greatest parents in history. Here are some things and stuff they have said to me. My mom always calls me sissy and she calls me Rae but I have not really heard her call me Raeleigh weird right? Here are some things my dad calls me all the time. My dad calls me Raeleigh Pataleigh. I like that nickname but when he says it in public it’s kind of embarrassing. But even though my nickname is weird I love it and I love my dad. Here are some things they have done for me. My mom has gave me like 20 dollars just for watching my little brother. Cool right? My dad has got me stuff I wanted for Christmas, one I wanted a bike and he said I don’t know. So a few months past and he opened the garage and I saw a bike! I was so happy I hugged him and said thank-you dad thank you! He said your welcome and merry Christmas. I said merry Christmas back. “Do you like it,” he said. Of course I said I love it. Thank you so so so so so so much dad. He said again your welcome Raeleigh Pataleigh. I laughed and laughed at my

nickname. He said “do you like it?” I said “yes I love my nickname.” My Dad is So Great By Alexis Trefry Why my dad is so great because he was n Franklin K-9 police officer. He is with Prince’s Lakes now and he is an German Shepherd trainer and me and my dad have 7 German shepherds. My dad is awesome because he takes me to school every morning and then he picks me up after school and clubs. He always goes to my swimming meets and basketball games and drives me to Triton High School and goes to my school holiday parties he goes to all my field trips even to Flat Rock and spent the night in the boys cabin.

He shows me kindness and show me to stay on task what I’m working on, work hard by training dogs.

Northeast Elementary First grade Brittany Brown My future house By Davion Jones In my future house I would have a secret basement to lead to my bathroom. I would have lots of fast cars. There would be ten rooms, three bathrooms. A big kitchen with lots of food. Lots of Stephen Currys and Jordans. I would have a gate so nobody will get in my house. My future house By Jordan Barnes My house is 20 feet tall. My house would have a robot that can get anything someone wants. My house would have a butler that can turn the house into whatever can want like a rectangle. My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Jennah Taylor They read to me. And they do not say bad words.

My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Mariusa Smith My mom and dad are great. Because they play with me all the time. And they help me on my games. They also watch a movie with me. Then they sleep all the time. We go to places with me. Then we go to fun places. Even we get surprises and then we go home. In the morning we eat breakfast then we go to the movies. We got to see Deadpool. It was fun. Then we eat. My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Raelen Jones My mom and dad read to me in bed. My

DAILY JOURNAL much.” I was just elected president. I am so proud of myself. I am going to be just like Abraham Lincoln, honest and brave. Also our country need change. We need changes for the environment. I would have all of the traits of a president. I’m intelligent and generous. I’m also trustworthy. I’m hopeful too. I believe that everyone can become great in their own way. I would make many environmental changes. For instance in the water, many animals are dying. Animals like fish, ducks, and tadpoles are dying because of the pollution from oil spills and trash. This is why I think I should be president. Hopefully now from the information I have given you, you think so too. I hope you do think so. If I Were President By Rachel Hussion If I were president, I would protect my country and fight for it. I would also serve my country and save it. I would also have the qualities of a president. Qualities of a president means that a president needs to be a leader. That means that a president needs to be respectful and kind to his/her people and help citizens. If citizens need food or money the president needs to give them a little bit of what they ask for. Also a president should not be rude to the citizens. Do not insult them, do not judge them, or say anything mean to the people. Another thing, presidents need to care for his/her people. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he set the slaves free. He saved them from hunger, dehydration, and death. He has been my idol and a hero for setting the slaves free. He also had a family. Their names were Mary Todd Lincoln, his spouse, and four sons; Robert Todd Lincoln, William Wallace Lincoln, Tad Lincoln, and Edward Baker Lincoln. These are the reasons why Lincoln is my favorite president. If I Were President By Kadence Baker Would you want to be president? What would be your priorities? If I were president of the United States, I would change the rules to where you could bring or have cupcakes in school. I would change where your taxes are not very expensive. And why do you have to live in the district for the bus to pick you up for school? Why would I change the rule about having cupcakes in school? I would change that rule because on birthdays in school, you really want to bring in something for the class to celebrate too. I would also change that rule because every once in awhile the class needs their sweets! I would change taxes to not be expensive. That way people have enough money to do things. The state doesn’t really need to be paid! How many kids have to move because they have no way to get to school? Because you do not live in the district, you cannot

Junior Journal 2016 ride the bus. I would change that because I have a friend, Nola Denning, who moved for that reason. What would it be like if you had a friend moving? That is what I would do as a president of the United States. What do you think?

Our Lady of the Greenwood Fourth grade Allison Boehm My Future House By Jonathon Parrett Hello! Welcome to my new house that I just bought. Not to brag but it’s a floating house! Boo Yah! To get in the house, you have to find the invisible ladder. Don’t tell anyone but the ladder is in my backyard. Once you find he ladder, don’t climb up. Or else the ladder will catch on fire until you get off. So grab the ladder and stay there for 10 seconds and then you will go up. Do you want to know how I get my sweet abs? Of course you do. Instead of working out and all that lame stuff you can go in the box that looks just like a regular box and press the number of strength you want. It goes 1-10. But you don’t want to go over 5 if you’re 18 and under. It takes two minutes. I never cooked food in my life. I go to the kitchen then say to the clock what food I want and how I want it. Like this: “Hey clock, give me a double cheeseburger.” Ding. It’s ready! And it only took 10 seconds. These things are great. They can make any food! Not to prove I’m lazy or anything but I have never cleaned up after myself. This little toy car or you can call it TGGU aka toy car cleaner-upper. It quickly goes around the house and cleans it up in a flash and it’s not worth a lot of cash. Good bye. It’s time for me to teleport back to the future. Why Mom and Dad are so Great By Minna Malcolmson Do you ever think why your mom and dad are so great? Do you ever wonder why your mom and dad hold your hand whenever you cross the street? I think that my parents are so great. They help succeed in life and set great examples for me now and later. My mom and dad help me by giving me a great education and support. When my mom brought me to OLG and when I walking in, a lot of people greeted me like I’d

DAILY JOURNAL been there before and gave me a great education! My mom also supported me whenever I would doubt myself and she cheered me up. The reason why my mom and dad are good example is because maybe later in life I would need to show a great example of something and they want me to be kind, friendly and happy! The important thing to tell kids is to listen to your mom, your dad, your family members, so that their ideas can help you in the future to improve your skills, including your happiness, kindness, being friendly and helpful. My mom and dad have one many thing that tells us they are being great example and helping me whenever I need it. I am so thankful for my mom and dad helping me succeed in life and in setting great examples for me! If I Were President By Samantha McCabe If I were president of the United States of America I would make the United States of America the best place in the world. If I were president of the United States of America I would advise the leaders of each state to make fun family friendly areas like water parks and libraries and I’d make peace with other world leaders. I would have the leader of each state make family friendly locations so kids can have fun and adults can relax on a day off. Places like water parks and libraries are great for this. Family will really enjoy these relaxing and fun places. In order to make peace with other world leaders, I would conduct trade with them. In doing so, I would likely be doing the best for both places. Although I would try to avoid war, I would fight wars on my allies’ behalf if they would fight on mine. If I were president it would be beneficial for people in this country and any of my allies’ countries. If I were president of the USA I would advise state leaders and make peace with world leaders. If I were president of the United States of America it would be the best place ever. My Future House By Kate Schausten Take a moment and imagine your future dream house. Is it futuristic, the next big thing? Well, mine is going to be. My dream house is going to have a big pipe which will be an elevator and will take you up with using stairs! This elevator will take you up to the first floor, which will have an indoor pool. Amazing living room with one million dollar furniture. A DJ room, a pool inside, a chef’s kitchen upstairs, also dining room up there as well. Living room and DJ room is downstairs. The outside landscape has a football stadium, amazing relaxing space, marvelous Caribbean waters, phenomenal house. This house wouldn’t have a garage because it will have black pavement. I would also live there because I would have enough money to cover it in my piggy bank.

Junior Journal 2016 Oh, and did I mention it is in the middle of phenomenal Florida and it would cost $1 million. Would you have the guts to buy this future house? If I Were President By Maddie Harris If I were president of the United States, I would make sure everybody had parents. I would also make sure that everybody would be safe and protected. I would love to have ice cream every day and a movie and popcorn. I would love to have my room purple with glitter and a closet as big as a mall, but I would also do my duty to serve my country and to make sure everything is in good. I would also make sure every homeless animal in the United States was in good, loving hands. I would also make sure everyone is being treated fairly and with no matter the color of their skin or of their beliefs. I would make sure everyone is being treated fairly and with respect and not being mistreated. My proclamations would be awesome and would have a change to my country. If you were president of the United States, what would you do? My Future House By Michael Garcia My future house is going to be located in the deepest part of the woods. Around my house there is going to be soldiers and a gate and I am going to have 100,000 dollars house and 100,000 dollar house with four garages. Inside my house there is going to have expensive paintings and a game room and an expensive kitchen and a nice knives. Upstairs my kid is going to have his or her room. I will have floor heaters and a hot tub and a glass shower. My electronics I am going to have a control panel that controls the roof and the blinds. Another thing is controls is the fire pit and it can turn the TV on. Underground I will have my own secret tunnels and a hot tub and a food pantry. The tunnels are going east to my guest house. My guest house is connected to my underground tunnel. My living room is going to be huge. It has a big 100-inch screen TV. Also the couches that give you massages and a heater. At the guest house, there is a home theater same as my home. I hope you have a great day and come back soon! My Future House By David Hill A house of the future will look like a waffle and will not have a garage because people will not have cars. Instead the house would move and it will hover. The furniture there would float and there would be no chairs because everyone would sit in floating beanbags. You would not need to make food or do laundry because when you aren’t sitting on it would turn into a robot and do them. It would also do house chores. There would be a greenhouse and in it would be a

pipe that would lead to the kitchen. Instead of TVs everyone would have a little microchip which you would plug in to a little speaker and a projected screen would go on. This is what I think a house of the future would look like. How My Mom and Dad are Great By Sami Roell My mom is great because she is nice and fun. One way that she is nice is she always tries to make me laugh if I cry. One way that she is fun is she tells funny jokes and that is why she is fun and nice. My dad is great because he is fun and cool. He is cool because he is good at working on cars and he is my hero. He is fun because he tells great jokes and he is nice to me. That is nice. That is why my parents are great to me. If I Were President By Ashton Chirinos If I was president of the United States, I would have policemen for the neighborhood watching areas. I would have better security in stores. I won’t allow weapons. If I saw somebody with a weapon I would take them with me and make sure he/she is not a robber. I would make a machine that can predict the future and if something bad happened, I would protect the people. I would forbid drinking. In airports, I would have scanners to detect if you’re a threat or a robber and pilots will be detected every time they fly to make sure they’re not a terrorist. As president, I would make national security a priority. My Future House By Alexis Brock Hello, I was just about to give my grand tour of my future house. Me, my mom, my dad and my sister live in this house. This house has one bathroom, one master bedroom, one kitchen and one living room. This house is on top of a waterfall. It is a tall jungle wood house. Let’s go to the kitchen. There is a six-skillet hovering stove that cooks up to 1000 C. There is also a fine birchwood counter top and a nice, long hovering wood table. Finally, a large granite fridge also hovers in the kitchen. On to the master bedroom. There are four hovering king size beds with a 100-inch TV for each bed. There are also four hand carved hovering closets. That is the bedroom. Next up, the bathroom. It has four hovering granite stalls and four sparkly black sinks with their own mirrors. Finally, there are four birchwood hovering showers with hand-woven shower curtains. That is the bathroom Finally, the living room. The TV in the room is a high motion picture with a 1005-inch TV screen, and a white sparkly entertainment unit that also hovers. Finally, there are two fine long black leather couches that hover. That is the living room.

43 I hope you enjoyed my house. Come again soon. Bye. If I Were President By Savannah Harrison If I were president, I would make sure everybody would always be happy! Also I would make sure all of the homeless people would have a decent home and food plus water. Qualities a president should have are needing to be happy and treating people nicely! They wouldn’t be a very good president if they weren’t nice! Another quality is they should go out and give the elderly and homeless people and give them good comfort. Also if I was in charge of the country, I would go out and go to Riley Hospital and give the kids what they want for Christmas. These are the things I would suggest if I were president. A House in the Future By Noah Bajuyo A house in the future would look like an alien house. I might fly or hover or it will be transportable. If I had a house like this, I would not need a hotel to go on vacation. Inside of the house, it would have a holo garage that you can go through but others can’t. I would have hover crafts, holo screens and hover chairs. Maybe even artificial gravity! It would look like a luxury condo that can hover and inside a dome. If I had a home like this, I wouldn’t need a burglar alarm. I would have a voice-activated computer. But since the house is so big, I would need 50 of the voice-activated computers. The president would live in it because Lincoln got shot in office. But if the president had a protected home, he wouldn’t get shot. It would have a garage that is like a force field so no bullets or bombs can go through. I think this will be a good safety decision for the president to keep them and their families safe. Thank you for your time. Why My Mom and Dad are so Great By Valeria Lara My mom and dad are so great because they love me and inspire me by showing me what to do. They gave me a great life in America to have a better life here. They are awesome by showing me tricks and the sports that I love and play they are wonderful and nice to me. They have showed me how to love and be nice. They love me very much and they sent me to a school that has faith and hope. They have a church and a beautiful parish. My parents are the best thing that ever happened in my life. I don’t know what to do without my parents or my brothers. That’s why my parents are so great. Future Homes! By Gabby Wegesin Future homes are such a mystery. I would want a house perfect for me and my family.

44 This is what it would look like. I would have a mini rocket and it would fly you up to the first level, which is a bubble gum room with walls made out of gum drops. Then on that same level, there is a pod. And a basketball court for the girls and boys. But my dad and I would have our own personal court. Now that would be awesome! Them the rocket would fly you up to the last level. Up there is a space room with stars and always a full moon. Which is beautiful. There is a spot for you to read and to chill and watch TV. Did I mention is has a giant TV? It’s huge. That’s what my future house would look like.

Our Lady of the Greenwood Fifth grade Ellise Floyd and Kristen Rode My Dream House By Isaac Wiese I wonder what my future house would look like. My dream house would have a robot butler named Timothy. I would have the best security system ever, it would immediately notify the police, and it would hold the people captive until the police would get there. The butler would be an excellent cook that can cook the finest cuisine. Now let’s get to the structure. The house would be three stories high with four bedrooms and a dog & cat room for the pets. It would have two entertainment rooms. One would be on the original floor. The second one would be in the basement (which is the first floor). Timothy would power down (sleep) in the basement which there would be a charger for him. It would all go fine. Jack Titzer Future House By Jack Titzer Sup, take a tour of my amazing future house and get ready to be amazed. My future house will have an arcade as big as 2 combined. Did I mention the indoor swimming pool. it will have you begging to dive right in. Also, many others like a solid gold toilet with seat warmers. In the bathroom and throughout the whole house there will be are heated granite floors. I also have granite counter tops that heat my bacon in the morning. Man oh Man do I love my bacon! There would also be a security system as tough as nails and a military grade lock on my fridge. Guess what is in the fridge a big huge supply of donuts (yeah, that’s right donuts)! I like it when my servants bring me the donuts, but they can’t get in the fridge. Ha. I also have many other things. For instance, my basement is as big as a castle and my bedroom is 5 stories high. I will have at least 9 basketball courts and football fields and I will have a 3D printer the size of lOts; it prints mega sized. Who likes parties? I do, so if you like parties then in about 20 years give me a call. If you do call, I will have us jump on the trampoline until we vomit and then we will jump off into the pool. When I have a sleepover it will be no problem; I will have 20 guest rooms the size of classrooms. People will love to stay

Junior Journal 2016 at Casa Day Titzer. You will have a ball at Casa Day Titzer; no seriously you will get a free Casa Day Titzer ball. It will have a picture of the house on it. Well that’s all I have for you! See you at Casa Day Titzer! MY FUTURE HOUSE By Mia Samuelson The realtor just left. I bought a house! It’s a bit brown, though. Brown walls, brown furniture, even brown utensils! What a snoozefest! (Days later) “It’s moving day people!” I yelled. “It’s time to bring in the memory foam couches!” I shouted to the moving guys. I escorted them towards the door when ..... “Ouch!!! Please, can someone go get the First Aid Kit from upstairs?” I screamed in pain. The moving people are so clumsy these days, always dropping couches on peoples’ feet. One of the moving men dashed up the brand new spiral staircase. He grabbed the First Aid Kit and scrambled back downstairs. (Hours later) My toe is being iced and I’m feeling a lot better. We just installed the new motion-activated sink and eco-friendly hand dryers. We also put in the new voiceactivated TV, microwave, and oven. I was so tired, I could fall asleep standing up! I went downstairs and laid down on the memory foam couch. I put my head on a graphic pillow (With an owl on it) and I was off “Uhhh!” I shouted startled. Then I realized something. It was all a dream. I was hearing my same old alarm clock in my same old bed. My Future Home By Grace Schoettle My future house is going to be attractive. My bedroom is going to be the size of a zoo. I will have an electronic and art room. I will have an indoor pool with a slide and diving board. The water will never be cold. It will be like bath water!! In the basement, I will have an arcade room and movie seating for many of my friends. I will have a large aquarium the size of a swimming pool. I will have exotic fish and wild life that will be safe for me to swim. My house will be 10 stories tall and have 52 rooms so I can have my entire Schoettle family over to visit. I will have many rooms that are large enough to play outdoor sports indoors. I will have full size basketball and volleyball court. The basketball court is mostly for my boy cousins and brother. The volleyball court will be for me to practice for the Olympics someday. The kitchen will have two refrigerators for all my favorite sodas. The kitchen will have three dishwashers so I have a place to put all the dirty dishes. The house will be decorated with Picasso paintings that are worth lots of money. The colors of my house will be vibrant and lively. Each room will its own theme. I will have a room that has palm trees so it reminds me of my spring break vacations with my family. I will have a special room with all my family memories at the lake house. Most of all I will have a flat screen TV in every room in the

DAILY JOURNAL

house including the bathroom. Hope you find your dream home because this is mine!

Well I wish I had that house. Well I guess maybe in the FUTURE.

Future House By Skylar Stewart In my future house, it will have seven floors with a gigantic chandelier on each floor. I will have the world record for biggest room ever..... in the world! I will also have a humongous pool both inside and outside. My house will have an elevator that stops at every floor. I will have rooms that are so big it looks like a zoo! I will have a hot tub with bubbles overflowing. I will have a Fair outside of my house, with a petting zoo, Ferris wheel, rides, and games. Then, I would have a kitchen just like Kid’s Baking Championships and an ice cream maker to make some delicious treats. For my bathroom I would have a waterfall tub or shower. My third floor would have a gymnastics room with a whole bunch of equipment and a gameroom right across the hall from it and my house would have the most expensive things. That would be my dream home or future home.

If I were President By Josie Origer If I were president, I would make sure that all things are fair. People would love me (I hope). I would stop all wars and abortion. Both of these things are going on right now and both of these things are going on right now and both of these things are killing human beings. To help all of those who do not have a home, I would donate a lot of money to them. I think that most people would agree with my decisions so far. I want to be a really fun president so, I would throw an awesome sleepover. As a treat at the sleepover, I would give people delicious cupcakes. They would get to choose what flavor they wanted. Also, at my school, we are not allowed to bring on scrumptious treats for our birthdays. I despise not being able to do that, so I would switch that rule so we could. When we were not able to bring in treats I was depressed just like how I was depressed when Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore. I would also make Pluto a planet again. I would keep the United States in control. I would also make wonderful laws that many people would be joyous with. I hope that everybody reading this are all pleased with the decisions I would make!

My Home From the Future By Jax Quebe In my future home, I am going to have an auto-drive car™ with a tower. My house will have a basement to teleport you anywhere you want to go. It will have a hologram TV! It will have floating furniture, and a maid bot. There will also be a worldwide personal internet that is free. It will have a pool as big as a two-story home! My future home has 20 rooms, five bathrooms, seven bedrooms, and a kitchen as big as an elephant. Some of the best features are an Insta-Cook Microwave TM, and your own radio station. My favorite thing about my future house is the RoboPet™. But best of all it will have a HealthAnator™ to make anything healthy! You will put any food in and it’s healthy! The absolute best feature is my home will detect bullies and they will not be allowed entry. NO more bullies! Carter Pendlum Future House By Carter Pendlum Whoosh! My sliding door flew open after I got back from a walk. I ran to my bedroom and entered midday into my dresser then a mid day outfit came out. I love my new house. I jogged out onto a porch overlooking a beach. Squack! “What?” I shouted “I didn’t call on you, so be quiet,” my teacher yelled. I must have dozed off in class, but if I had a house like that I would love it. Also what if it had a balcony on the roof too! Arggg, my teacher’s talking about more boring stuff. IIII won’t fall asleep huu. Yes! I’m back in that house. I wandered over to the kitchen and picked up a glass that shot up from the counter. A screen came down and said “Which drink do you want” I choose soda. Once I took a sip and spat it out. I jumped up. I had drank my spit ewww.

If I Were The President By Ava Jukes If I were the president ... I would make sure that everyone was happy and I would try to stop all homelessness. After I did all that I could do I would try to help all homeless animals. Too many animals are abused or mistreated; I would try to fix that. I would also put up more laws to help with animal extinction and more wildlife preserves would be built. My goal as president, would be to use all my power to make sure no living thing suffers. My favorite president is Theodore Roosevelt. He was very involved in all of the wildlife foundations and protection laws in the U.S. He is my role model, and I want to be like him. I want to make the United States a better place. My Future Home By Sarah Neeson Hi, today I am going to tell you about my future home, I can imagine my future home being circular with four floors and a basement. It’ll have a 15-foot long outdoor pool with a slide and diving board. I’ll have memory foam in all the furniture. I think I will have six bedrooms and three bathrooms. I will have lots of open space. Last, but not least, I will have an athletic room. Thank you for reading about what my future home will be. Maybe I will find a house like this someday. Charlie for President By Charlie Jackson If I, Charlie Jackson, ran for president of the United States of America, I would be like Abraham Lincoln. He led our country

DAILY JOURNAL through the Civil War and abolished slavery! I would let everybody have an equal chance, men, women, and children. I would motivate people to donate to major fundraisers like for no animal cruelty, Breast Cancer research, armed forces, and many more. I would try to make alliances with enemy countries like Iraq and ISIS. Good luck to all that are running for president along with me. Just a few more months until we hear who is president! My Future House By Fletcher Hooten Do you want to hear about my future house? When you walk in the door on your left will be my own private movie theater, and on your right will be the cavity room. The cavity room would be a room full of candy, Slushie machines, and soda fountains. After that will be the escalators — one will go up and one will go down. It’s time to show you the basement. Once you get off the escalator, there will be a set of doors. One will be the spa room with two spa beds and a hot tub that fits 37 people in it. The next door will be the trampoline park. It will be just like SkyZone. At the end of the short hallway, there will be the basketball court, and the NBA Championship will be held there. In the backyard, there will be the amusement park and water park. The amusement park will have 17 roller coasters and the water park will have 38 slides. Upstairs will be the bedrooms. The servant and body guard room will have weights and a fitness room. The servant will have an arcade and video game room. Next, the master bedroom that will have a king-sized bed and a flat screen TV. There will be a secret football field on the roof. The Super Bowl will be held there. My future house will be awesome! Mom and Dad By Ava Ness My mom and dad are tremendous. They’re great with kids, and I should know. They are creative and caring, and I adore them. They give me a home and food. They let me share my feelings with them. Most of all, they give me a chance. A chance to enjoy myself. A chance to open up my talents and show them to the world. A chance to find who I am. My chance to be me. My mom and dad are responsible parents. They’re as smart as dolphins, for heaven sake! They show good examples in front of my siblings and I. They show how I am doing in school and fashion how I could do better. They say to me how amazing I am in the world. My parents show me who I am, and who I can become. My parents do terrific activities with my siblings and I. We wrestle with each other, and watch movies together. When we’re outside, we like to play sports. Soccer, baseball, and football are some of the sports we play. We also like to go swimming and play at the park. We all have a lot of fun! I love my parents because they’re mine. They are as sweet as lollipops. They are my

My friends and family influenced me to try to come up with something neat, so here it is. The first thing is my two pet dogs named Fluffy and Ellie I will have in my house. It is going to be a massive mansion for only $20. I will have 20 rooms so anyone could spend the night. I can just see all of this fun! I would live with my best friends. We would swim in my heart shaped pool and hot tub. Then we could come in and eat junk food. I can taste the delicious food. After that, we can go swimming in the inside hot tub and pool. When we get tired, we can go in the biggest basement ever! It will have a huge TV, a pool table, and pretty much anything you can think of. You name it, we have it. I hope you can stop by my future house. We could have a blast! I will live on 333 Fun Lane. Future House By Colby Fletter My Future House will be fantastic. I will have a robot butler that gets me everything

I want. I will have an arcade with all the games in the world. When I need to go over to my neighbor’s house, I will use one of my cars because I will have one car for each day of the week. I will even have a pet alligator whose name is Keven. I will have to go to sleep in my waterbed. In the future I will have a football field in my backyard. I need to go upstairs in my escalator. I will have a indoor pool/sauna and hot tub. Every time I go to the bathroom I will get to hear music because I will have a flush tone. I will have a 50-foot flat screen TV. I will even have a go-cart room too. I hope you thought my house was cool. Future House By Thomas Gallagher Hi, my name is Thomas and I’m going to show you my idea for my future house. Heated floors would be great, but I don’t want my house to catch on fire. A flush tone on the toilet. A robot dog would be really cool if it hovered. I wan a pool inside with a hot tub as big as an elephant. I’d like to practice my flips in my trampoline park with music coming out of jumbo beats pills with my DJ playing music throughout the day. I would also have a bathrobe with speakers for when I get up then I would go to my indoor gym and play basketball. I would also want a throne in my bedroom that made corndogs for me. My living room floor would be a shark tank. I would have a 3D video game room with endless supply of blue Kool-Aid because I don’t like cherry. That was my future house ideas. Luke Kanter’s Dream House By Luke Kanter In my dream house, I want an amazing TV rooms for everyone; my kids, guests, and one for myself. I also want a gaming system for everyone! Me, my kids, and the guests, but it’ll have a sleep timer that can’t be turned on after it is off it’ll stay off until the morning (and not 12:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m. so if they wake up at 5:30 the TV won’t turn on without a password, and I can change it if I want to). When we get the TVs, I will get the biggest flat HDMI TVs. We will get the latest DVD players and have movie nights every month. We’ll get the best gaming device and have a game night every week. I would also get giant pool! It’ll have a deep end, a baby end, and a lots of water slides. My house will be awesome when I grow up! My Future House By Jenna Kaster Do you know what my future house would look like? Well if I told you, you would probably move to it. So sit back, relax and enjoy. Let’s start with, how big I would want my house. Well, surely I wouldn’t want it to be small or tiny because then I wouldn’t have room for all I am going to tell you about. My house would be heart shaped because I love my boyfriend. Also when people saw my house they would know my house was a loving house. (meaning no fighting or trying

45 to hurt others or you will be kicked out). The people in my house would be all my friends, family and ME of course. I know for a fact you are all thinking how many bedrooms does this house have? Well, that is what I am going to tell you. My house would have eight bedrooms. You are all thinking “What,” but it is true. Also, these bedrooms will have king size beds in each and every one of them. Oh, and just to let you know there are six stories (floors). When you have six stories and you live on the top floor you would not want to walk all 300 stairs, so my house would have two elevators. My amazing house would have four bathrooms. Every bathroom will have two baths and toilets, and a ginormous closet. But, if you lived in my house, you are probably wondering where all the food is. Well, the kitchen will be on the third floor. It will be on the third floor because three will be my favorite number and it is in the middle of my house. I know you all are feeling stuffed from the delicious food, so that is why I have three workout rooms on floors 2,4,6. Also, if you are interested in gymnastics, there will be a gymnastics room on floor 5 with five coaches. So I hope you love my house and all its creativity, and I hope you all can come see it one day. Future House By Keimareon Davis My future house will be the house in the universe. You know why? Because it will help the homeless. I will have a lot of rooms for the homeless. The best part is it’s free! The homeless don’t have to pay and aren’t homeless anymore. I will also have a room full of desks. Why? Well, the homeless need to be taught. They need to eat right? Well, I will have 10 massive kitchens so they can cook. I will have a humongous library so they can read. They need to swim, so I will have a pool. Now to the fun stuff. I will have a go kart track, football field, and zero gravity laser tag. So, that’s all the fun stuff we will do on the weekends. I will have 10 rooms. Why? So we all do not ram into each other. I will also have rooms for my best friends. That’s why I think I’ll have the best house. My Future Home By Taylor Dick Today is the day that I get a new house. My house right now is small and spaceless. My future home would have four stories. The softball field would be in the basement, and the pool would be as big as a mansion. This huge house would have an enormous volleyball court because I love to play volleyball. There would be a huge kitchen that would be the biggest kitchen you had ever seen. My kitchen would have a chandelier that is white with sparkles. On the very top floor would be the bedrooms and bathrooms. There would be 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The top floor would also have a game room with a gym bigger than a house.

My house seems pretty cool, right? Well, imagine if that was your house! Would you like it or love it? I bet you would love it. I hope you enjoy coming up with your very own dream house.

15 Years From Now In My Future House By Sophia Crews 15 years from now, I’ll be 25 years old and living the life in my dream house. It’ll be manageable and remind me of my home right here in Indiana. I’ll have the greenest grass and a shimmering lake. In my backyard would be a miniature garden overflowing with state-of-the-art veggies. Outside would be a white porch with a grill and a swing where I would read as the wind caught my hair. Inside the house there would be a sofa and TV. My bedroom would have a heater to give me warm cozy air. I would be awakened by the sun, blazing its light on me through the window. In the foreroom, there would be two library cases stuffed with books about mythology and the world. The walls in the foreroom would have joyful memories of family and old friends, shimmering with a grand display. I’d also have a basement for small parties. My home might seem simple or even boring to others, but to me I’d be living a long life dream. And just think, it’s only 15 years from now.

My Future Home By Joe Parrett Greetings fellow earthlings! Here is a message from Mars, your future home! Earth was demolished by an asteroid so now we have artificial air, food, water, etc. made from the material on Mars and the leftovers of our old home planet, Earth. We now have launchpads instead of garages, and instead of cars we have hover boards and flying cars. We also have air machines for when your air tank is low and you need a refill. But the best invention is the optional robot monkey butlers! They are awesome! They even fly! They are the coolest invention ever! They are so cute! I named mine Monkey Joe, after me! He is the best! (like me!) Sorry, but I have to go! Frozen 10 is almost on! (on my floating flat screen.)

Julia for President U.S.A By Julia Benich If I was the president of the U.S.A, I would try to stop every bad guy who were trying to get even more money from banks. What I would do with those people? I would put them in jail; also I would try to take away Segways because they’re dangerous according to my book. Anyway Segways are a danger to our community of Greenwood. Also, do you know who was my favorite president? Teddy Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he saved a bear’s life, so some people at the time hunted bears for their warmness That’s why he is my favorite. Future House By Sophie Markowicz Have you ever imagined what your future house will look like? I’ve already been thinking of mine. I would live in the gorgeous, fascinating, flat state of Florida. My private condo sitting next to the blue Gulf of Mexico, would be all mine, even though I have to pay rent. That’s the bad part about owning a house. My adorable, little Yorkies, Minnie and Mickey, would also live with me. (How adorable are 18-month-old puppies!) I would also have an indoor swimming pool and hot tub. I bet I would be lounging in there for hours! How about a waterfall-themed pool? I can dream anything I want just because this a vision, too. Also, a balcony will be placed looking over the greenish-blue bay. The condo would be huge, creme colored, with many windows. Partying almost 7 hours with my besties along the beach will be a blast. I wish for a

My Future House By Jesus Quintana I think in the future homes would be technically advanced. I think they would have free internet. My future house would have floating bunk beds with a ladder. It would have a pool place also. The table would be floating. You would just have a little remote and press a button to open the door. The cars would fly. That’s how I think my future home would be like. My Future Home By Georgia Reed Buying my first home, that will be in a long period of time ... or would it? The next morning I woke up safe and sound. But, there was something different. I was in my house when I heard a noise. It came from the living room. I went in there and I saw something I have never seen before ... it was a time machine. I don’t remember why, but I went inside for some reason. When I went inside, I experienced difficulties or consequences. Ahh! .... Next thing I knew I was in the dark, then it was getting lighter and lighter and lighter. I soon could see that I was in a house. The house was epic! It had four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a basement, an attic, and a decent size kitchen with popcorn and snow cone makers. It was just a dream home for anyone. I realized something, all of my family members names and my own name was scattered in the house. There was a beautiful woman next to two magnificent children in a framed picture on the wall. It said Georgia Reed next to the woman in the picture dated 2033. I realized it was me! I can’t wait for such a wonderful and magical experience to come! If I Was President of the USA By Nicole Schneider People say a women couldn’t be president. They say girls don’t have the political

knowledge for the spotlight in government. Well I say they are wrong! Take Hillary Clinton for example, she has been running for president for years. Now that’s what I call a dream woman. Well let’s go to the beginning. What would I do if I was president? I would rule of all abortion. My favorite president is President Abraham Lincoln. He wanted all slavery to clear out. Guess what. He succeeded! Plus he had an awesome beard. To be a good president you have to have a lot of political knowledge. Also you have to have a good heart just like president number 16 and not be against good things.

and family. And by family I mean my mom, my dad, my grandparents, all my aunts and uncles, and all of my cousins. It would be shaped like a heart, it would be pink and huge. My friends and I would always be in the softball and volleyball court. We would all be in the laser tag room. My family and friends would all be in the indoor pool and hot tube. We would have a blast. In my house there would be nine stories, four kitchens, eight bathrooms, 18 bedrooms, two elevators, and two workout rooms. There would even be an electronics room and an animal room!

Future House By Bayley Schoettle Maybe you can come visit my future house. My name is Bayley Schoettle and I hope you can spend time on OLG island. My future house will be on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The island will be well protected with a gate and soldiers. My friends and I will live on the island with other guests. This island will be a safe place to take a vacation and get a break from school or work. The guest will have their own beautiful house to relax in. The furniture will also be beautiful in all houses. The cost will be $500 for a one-week trip. In my house, there will be four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a huge master bedroom, and two kitchens. My friends house will be the same as my house. The fun activities will include a football field, a basketball court, volleyball court, softball field, and a trophy room. The house will be as big as a football stadium which will allow for all activities to be done inside my house too. There will be 10 guest houses that are half the size of my house. The 10 houses will have two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge master bedroom and one kitchen. The houses will be as big as arenas. I hope you will come visit our island.

My Future Home By Sam Markowicz Ah, I can’t wait until I get my own house, it will have a lot of futuristic things that I will invent. Now I will give you a tour of it. When you first see my house, you will think “that is a tiny house.” If you ring the doorbell, the welcome mat will disappear into a dark, mysterious hole leading into the house. When you drop into the house, you will say “Wow!” There are two fountains with a door in the center. If you go through the doors, you will be entering my living room. In my living room there will be comfy chairs that can move; I call them chaircarts. There will be a jumbo couch with a 3D TV in front of it. The next room you will be entering will be my kitchen. There will be robots that will make you breakfast, lunch, and dinner 24/7. There will be a Cookie Baker 5000, and a Super Heater microwave. Next to the kitchen will be my laundry room where my maids wash my clothes and charge my phones. Next to my bedroom, it will have a water bed, a fluffy chair, and a flat screen TV where I like to watch “Teen Titans Go.” There will be a robot with a mini fridge on its back; he likes to give me soda. If you lift up the pillows on my bed, there will be a tube leading to my secret lair. In my secret lair there will be my army of robot flying monkeys. The best thing down there will be my popcorn machine! Now into my pool. It will have a snack bar with a diving board next to it, which I like to dive off of. There will also pool toys, robot sharks, and a hot tub. Next to my pool will be my racetrack, there will be go-carts, and bumper cars. In my garage, there will be an opening and closing roof so my flying cars can get out. There will be a runway for my planes, and a mechanic to fix things. In the back of the garage there will be a “Shut Down Robots” button in case the robots turn evil and try to destroy the world. Now, to my favorite part of the house, the bathroom! The bathroom will have a disco light, a rainbow shower, and an automatic cleaning sink. Best of all, I will have a musical toilet, and when you flush it is plays a song ... That will be my future house! Did I mention I will be the richest man in the world!

SS Samuel By Sam Scott Hola amigo! Forgive me I just got back from my shower, oh I mean Mexico. Now I’m in Hawaii and it’s 102°F with clear skies. I just am getting on my yacht (SS Samuel). It’s custom with pearl white and teal. I also have midnight blue pearlescence. It’s gorgeous! “Good evening Sam!” my butler said. That’s my butler, Alfred! Now let me give you a tour of my yacht. (It can turn into a plane). Well, first let me show you my messenger bird, Fred! He’s a good friend. Here is my helicopter. It’s enormous, right! (Oh, sorry I bet you want to see this). Also if you want wi-fi, my ship has wi-fi! I’m a hotspot too! Now let me show you my 100-inch flat screen TV. “Frozen 7” is probably playing right now. Well, if you are ever around come on by to see SS Samuel! Now I’m going to go to my hot tub! Bye! My Future House By Nikki Wheatley In my future house there would be a lot of people. There would be nine of my friends

DAILY JOURNAL My Future Home By Sarah Jekel Here today on February 10, 2016, I am here talking about my future home. I would buy amazing things like a big house, of course, but not too big. I would probably live in Florida with my friend Taylor and my cousin Mariell, of course. Then have the best day of my life and I almost forget my friend Ava H. too. She is the sweetest girl I’ve ever known even no we have had times.

Our Lady of the Greenwood Fourth grade Megan Hillstrom A House of the Future By Ava Brock A house of the future would be a pure white building with black and neutral accents. It wouldn’t have an enclosed garage. The garage would be a platform powered by magnets. I would have a pink Cadillac and a futuristic driving pod. It would have all tan leather inside and seat warmers. By the way, you are allowed to drive my pod, not my Cadillac. Inside of the house, a creamy white cylinder home with very low hovering power, there would be luxurious leather seats and sofas. The appliances would be solar-powered, even the hot tub! My sister’s bedroom would probably be white with lime green accents. My own (and my cats’) room would be black and white and include teal and purple accents. There would also be a Cute Cat station where there is food, water, and a scratching post for the cats. The walls would have pictures of big cats on them. My parents’ room would have a huge king-sized bed and a solar-powered hot tub. There would also be a guest room in case you want to stay! The guest room would have two queen sized beds with dark tan down comforters and a large bathroom. Enjoy your stay! I think I would even have a tax-payerchore-doer robot 5000! It would even produce money! I’d literally be swimming in cash if I had it for even five minutes! It would have quite a lot of chore options. I think the most useful one would be the bed making option. It would make your bed in less than a minute! Another option would be the pay the taxes option. I think many, many parents would really like that option. What thing would you like the taxpayer-chore-doer robot 5000 to do for you? Also, the home would be more tall than wide, quite ideal for neighborhoods. You could approximately fit over 50 in a neighborhood but still have comfortable living quarters and garden space! My garden would have a boatload of fruit trees, but mainly peaches. Who doesn’t like peace _ well, some people, but who doesn’t like fruit? Last, but not least, my sister, our parents and I would live there with ten cats! I would teach the cats to cooks delicious meals until I programmed the robot to cook for us and the cats. It would be busy, but it wouldn’t be

Junior Journal 2016 that hard with the power of technology and our faithful tax-payer-chore-doer robot 5000 on our side! Why My Parents Are So Great! By Emme Scott My mom and dad are so great! Here are some reasons why my parents are so special. My mom is great because she loves me very much. She is generous because when I really want something she will get it for me, either for Christmas or my birthday! She’s really a great mom if you were to ask me. My dad has a never ending love for me. He always has my back. He always cheers for me at all my kickball games, basketball games, and volleyball games. He also cares for me a lot by giving me a bedroom and a house. I appreciate my parents because, they are always there for me and they support me in anything I do. I would never ask for any other parents but them. They provide things for me like a house and food and water. I’m really lucky to have my parents. They are the best thing a girl could have. My favorite thing to with my parents is when my dad plays volleyball or basketball or even baseball with me. Its really fun and I learn from him how to get better and I really appreciate that. What I like to do with my mom is when I help her bake cookies for Santa or to bake cookies for people in general. I learn so many things when she helps me cook. Now I have some cooking experience from here. She also plays basketball with me and my dad and my sister. I like it when we play together. We play basketball games like Around The World and Horse and Pig. It’s great! I think my parents are also great because they take us out to movies. We have family movie night once in awhile. We all agree on a movie and watch it. My mom and my sister make the popcorn, while my dad and I listen to the movie. After my mom and my sister are done with the popcorn we start watching the movie. When it’s done we say is it a good movie or a bad movie. Usually the movies we pick are really good and interesting, but rarely they are bad. The best part is when they take me to a Butler University play. We have seen the Wizard of Oz and Beauty and the Beast. They are really great plays if you were to ask me. The stage is massive! I always love it when they take us to the plays. Those are all the wonderful reasons why my parents are so great! Why My Parents are so Great By Nick Brown Why are my parents so great? I will give you some ideas. One the reason why my mom and dad are so great is because, they are great role models. My dad was in the military, and my mom is funny and smart. My dad is brave and my mom is always happy. My mother cooks good food and my dad is always happy. He always has a smile on his face. My mom is hardly ever mad. She is usually excited.

Another reason my parents are great is because, they always buy me items. They do not have to do that, but they do. They are always making Christmas a time to remember. They are nice to me and I know I can count on them. My parents are always teaching me life lessons. They also do kind things such as, buying me things. My dad always pick’s me up from school. My mom is kind, and I know I can count on her. My dad always looks out for me. They both buy me food. They provide me with a shelter. My mom and dad are the best, and I know I could not live without them. I love my father and mother. Why My Mom and Dad Are Great By Ella Huth My parents are wonderful! Some thing my parents have done for me is that they help me study. They help me achieve my goals, like reading 9-10 books in this semester. Another thing they help me with is they encourage me to do well and believe in me. One example of this is that they cheer me on at games. They inspire me, and I want to be like them when I grow up. They love to watch me. You never want to forget about school! Like in the first paragraph I said they help me study. They really do! If I have to study lots, they want me to stay up late and they do the same thing! My parents are awesome! My parents inspire me. One way they do that is they are nice to others. They love me! Another example is they take care of me. When I’m sick they take care of me. They make me feel happy! I’m really lucky to have them. They are wonderful, smart, funny, nice, intelligent, I can go on for days! I love them so much! They do many things for me. I appreciate them! Why My Parents are so Great By Brianna Fletter My parents are so great because they always make me laugh and smile. And I am very blessed to have them. My parents set a good example by doing whatever it takes to help protect and care for my siblings and I. When they were young they were just like me. If I follow their good example, I will grow up to be just like them. My parents are awesome, because the do whatever it takes to make us happy. If it wasn’t for them none of us would be here. Parents have many responsibilities in their families. They try to make sure that their children have what they need. They care and protect their children. They teach them about the world in which they live upon. They help them to learn, work, and play and with other children. They show them how to respect other people. If I Were President By Jose Quintana-Flores If I were president of the United States of America, I would take care of my people were I live. I will do that by feeding and giving money to the poor. Also, I would give the poor a house and I Would sell them

47 some free things. I would try hard to keep my job. I would care for my people and country. I would also have good schools for children to go to. Some qualities I would need in order to be president are to be brave and honest. l would be a leader for my people. I would think if someone had a problem. I would also help my people in my country with things like shopping, praying and going to mass. My favorite president is Barack Obama. I like him because he wants Hispanics to stay here. I also like him because he inspires me to do good. He also likes good people, which inspires me to like my family and good people. He sets good examples, so I want to set good examples and I want to do good things like him. What would you do if you were president of the United States of America? If I Were President of the United States By Jaime Quintana My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. One reason Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president is because he made the right choice to end slavery. Another reason Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president is because he is from Indiana and I’m from Indiana too. I think that’s really cool. He always had a book in his hands, and books are the most great thing too study. If I were president, I would declare a rule of less poorness and a calendar that reminds us to donate to charity. I would help all poor schools. I would also end slavery in the world, help cure cancer that kids have and help people think more about others instead of just themselves. A reason I would be a great president is, I would help everyone have a better home and help in every job so people get enough money. I would help everyone in any way I can. That is how I think I would be a good leader. I want to be just like Abraham Lincoln was. I want to help end slavery. Why My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Caitlynn Penollar Both my mom and dad work so hard! My mom washes my clothes, makes food for the family, and lets the dog out and in almost all at the same time! It’s like she’s a super-mom! My mom is terrific! My dad on the other hand works almost everyday except for Sunday sometimes, and gets up at 4:00 a.m. in the morning! He usually gets home at 4:00 p.m., but sometimes gets home at 2:30 p.m. My mom and dad tell me a lot of good tips for when I’m older and for right now. They tell me to work hard and never give up. They say to never be late somewhere, but to get where I want to go a little early. I think they have a lot of tips for me because they have a lot of experience, and they’ve seen and done a lot more things than what I have. My mom and dad set amazing examples for me. They work hard. They do almost absolutely everything for me, therefore it makes me want to do everything for them!

48 They put a roof above my head, food on my plate, drinks in my cup, and clothes on my body. For all of this I love and appreciate them a whole lot. That’s why my Mom and Dad are so great! House in the Future By Jonathan Parackattu What would my house in the future look like? My house would be sphere shaped, and it would be neon blue with windows. One thing that would be in my house would be the gray food machine. It could make any food, just click on the food you want and it would appear. Another unique thing in my house would be the TV room. It would be dark and there would one big TV for a wall. I would watch TV and play video games in this room. Would I have a garage? No. I would have a helicopter pad instead. It would be totally made out of glass with neon green flashing lights. The helicopter that landed there would be neon orange with red glass. It would have no propellers in my helicopter. Inside it would have a food machine, vending machine, and a very white fluffy chair that could float. that would be what my helicopter looked like on the inside. I would have a robot to do housework. This robot would have eight arms and 10 legs. It would drive my helicopter, do the chores, do maintenance, and wake me up. I would also have a German shepherd named Barry. If I wanted to eat from a restaurant, then Barry would go to the restaurant get my order and get the food and give it back to me. He could also help the robot do maintenance. He would have his own dog house it would be black. House in the Future By Justyn Anciso My future house would be hovering in the air. It would be white, because most houses in the future would not be that colorful in the future. My roof would be flat. So let’s get to the comfortable things that make you feel at home. There would be a hovering couches and hovering chairs. Wow! Who would not want to have hovering furniture? Think about it. It would be easier to move! Some houses would be floating but others would be on the ground. My garage would be on the ground, and inside of it would be a hovering bike and four-wheelers for going off the road (if you know what I mean). I would have a hovering car. Do you want a hovering car? Let’s get to the important part. In the kitchen, if you want your lunch fast and ready to go there would be a food selector. Just press a button to select the food and it cooks it for you so that way it is fast and easy. And when you hit the button, you wait for your food and you sit at your table. The food will be carried on a conveyor belt, and it put it on the table and you eat! That would be my future house. Thank you for reading.

Junior Journal 2016 House in the Future By Samantha Kilgus My future house is huge! It has polka dots that light up, and the shape is a sphere that has rainbow colors. So cool! This house will be awesome. It will sell for $1OO,OOO,OOO,OO! It is invisible and can fly. I even have an alien neighbor that lives 1.00008 miles away. I drive there at 800,000 mph. Oh, did I mention the house is used as a car? There is lots of galaxy drive thrus. Some of the new and improved things are, it’s powered by solar energy. Duh. We orbit around the sun don’t we? We had lots of new rooms just installed. The alien knows a guy. There are animal rooms, even extinct animals. Don’t ask me how he got them, but they’re cool. There’s rooms for every season too. When this gets invented I’ll be the first one to get it! A House of the Future By Mallory Mahin If I could get just a glimpse of a house in the future this is what I think it would look like this, it would have a huge back and front yard. The house would also be made out of invincible glass. The house would have a touch screen that was as big as a I-pod and it would be a password. In the inside of the house there would be a special light switch that would make the glass dim, so you can see your neighbors but they can’t see you. There would also be a robot named Champ. He would be voice control like Siri, so you could say “hey Champ can you get we a glass of milk please” and he would get it for you. There would also be a invisible garage, with a red rose colored car that can fly and you can fit 10 people in the car. This house is my dream house. My House in the Future By Brooklyn Zaiser If I could design a house in the future, mine would be a scary one. My house would be all black and it would have a play room. All the toys would be hammers and five chainsaws. All the rooms would be red. My house would be a 3-story house. The basement would be a grave yard. The upstairs would a haunted house. The middle level of the house would be my normal house and it would not be scary. My friends can visit this part. My house would be a smart house with a robot that does every for you. It would be awesome! A House in the Future By Lucia Agresta A house in the future will probably look round and it might even spin! It would probably have about a million tiny windows so you could look outside whenever you want. I would love to do that, and I would love to live in an extraordinary house like that. Inside the house, there will be colorful lights with floating bunk beds. There would be dazzling lights of different colors and lots

and lots of closet space for dresses. The house would have lots of elevators so you would not have to walk up so many stairs. I would love to live in a house like that! The house will have automatic lights so when you clap three times the lights will turn on. When you think of something, the walls will turn on and when you want something, the house will give it to you. If I Were President of the United States By Katie Newell If I were president of the United States of America I would make sure everyone would be living in a peaceful community. I would make sure houses and buildings would be safe from storms. All rides would be safe to play on. All orphanages would be fun and happy. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He is my favorite president because he helped end slavery. Abraham valued education. He loved to read and write. Abraham also lived in Indiana, just like me. That makes him even more fun to learn about. A quality you need to be a good president is to be a good listener. If you can’t listen to people you will not know what to do or how to do it. You need to be a good leader. if you can be a good leader then you won’t know how to make a decision. You also need to be able to do the right thing. If you can’t do the right thing then no one will vote for you and then you would have tried so hard but you did not make it. Those are all the reasons I want to become president of the United States of America. My Parents are Great By Isabelle TenBarge My parents are so great because they give me lots of encouragement and inspire me to try new things. My mom also inspired me to do volleyball and taught me how to make scrambled eggs. Yum! My dad always plays around with me and cheers me up when I’m sad. My parents are awesome! My mom and dad set good examples for me by showing me how to act in church. My parents help me with using good manners, but in a fun way! They teach me to be myself and don’t act like someone I’m not. One time when I was at a volleyball game and my mom gave me advice because I was really confused. My mom and dad cheered me on and it helped me! My mom and dad are so great. I am so lucky to have them! If I Were President of the United States By Eli Fitzgerald If I were president my favorite would be Abe Lincoln because he ended slavery. He also worked hard his whole life. He lived in Indiana and so did I! He must be a busy man! If I were president I would want a drag race track made only for racing. I would have a Lamborghini Aventador. Ruv! Ruv! You would need a ticket to watch or race. Would you do that? I would also build a huge church. I mean

DAILY JOURNAL huge! It would be shining white with a red carpet in the huge church. I would fit everyone in the U.S.A. The schedule would be 5:00 p.m., 12:00 a.m. and 7:00. I would change school schedules a bit. It would be five hours instead of seven hours. There would be no school on Wednesdays to give kids a break. Every kid would have a change to go to a good school and have fun. That is what I would do if I were president. What would you do if you were president? Houses in the Future By Luke Browning If you are wondering what a future house looks like, then read this story. The house would have a robot that cleans your house for you. That would he awesome! If you touch a button. a secret path appears to a huge basement movie theater. There are massage chairs, popcorn and drinks served anytime by your robot. You can move around your huge house with a hover board. There will be flatscreen TVs in every room that are controlled by your voice. A computer can run everything in your house like the lights, heat, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and air conditioning. A future house will be smart and make life easier!

Sugar Grove Elementary Third grade Debra Oakes The House of the Future By Abigail Keeney I think a house in the future will be very big with a lot of cool stuff. It will have an upstairs and a basement. It will have an awesome playroom, a candy room with everything made out of candy, a garage on the top of the roof so the spaceship could land there, a bathroom that brushes your teeth for you and has a big shower. There will also be a play room, a music room, a big library, and a science and health room. In the play room, there will be a foosball table, an air hockey table, a pool table, and table tennis. A big tv, as big as the ones at the movies, it will be in the playroom too. The house might even have a star gazing room or bedrooms with glass ceilings to look at the stars. There will be a huge kitchen and dining room, a gym with a basketball court, and an indoor and an outdoor pool. There will also be a butterfly room with a lot of plants. The butterfly room is very good for relaxing. Inside the house will be invisible stairs, an elevator with buttons that could make it go any way you want. The walls will be all the colors of the rainbow and the curtains will be light blue. There will be stairs to the roof and you can slide down. There will be circle and square shaped windows. The doors will be automatic and there would be warmers in the beds. The house will be made of tan colored brick. The backyard will be big and have a garden with flowers, fruits and vegetables. There will also be two apple trees with a

DAILY JOURNAL hammock hanging from them. There will be a brick wall around the garden. In the future the people will love their houses and backyards.

Sugar Grove Elementary Fifth grade Jodi Barth What? Me for President? By Nathan Levenhagen If I were president of the United States of America, there would be many appreciations and requirements. It would be a little bit of a challenge because I would have to work all day on laws and keeping over 1,000 business companies going, such as McDonald’s, Walmart, Disney, Toys R Us and Microsoft. There are also personal requirements, such as you have to be 35 years old and you need to be born in the USA with living in the USA for at least one month. I think I could handle all of that because I am in Sugar Grove’s student council. Although there are tons of more fifth graders out there that I’m assuming would have a better shot than me, I think that it would mean more than anything to me if I were the president of the United States of America. Plus, I would get a house larger than a hotel and personal room service. My Castle By Lillian Peterson Boom! Zap! Pow! Right now I’m in my awesome pink castle layer laser tag with real lasers! Wosh – Zap! Yeah! I just won! I love being in the year 4016! My castle is awesome! It’s 1,297 stories high and has over 2,970,080 rooms. Today, I’m going to tell you all about my favorite rooms, and that they look like. First up on our tour is the first floor. My bowling alley! Inside my bowling alley I have over 97 bowling lanes and exactly 2,900 bowling balls. The bowling balls are all colors, pink, purple, blue, light green and red. In my bowling alley, the lanes are in rainbow color, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple! On my fifth floor, my favorite room is the laser tag room (which is where I was just playing laser tag.) Usually I’m playing laser tag with my friends or family. But today, mostly everyone was busy so I played with my robots. Their names are Ellie and Alayna. My laser tag room is over 120 feet square feet and has 97 places to hide from the other lasers. You have to wear lots of gear to protect you from getting fried by the lasers. They can be really dangerous. Anyway, the next stop on our tour is the 13th floor because that’s where my dining room is. I have a huge stove in the middle of the room because my chef cooks right in front of me. Sometimes he puts food way up in the air and we can catch it in our mouths. My chef makes cooking fun! For breakfast, he makes me lots and lots of pancakes. Since my stove is so big when he makes pancakes or waffles, he makes huge helpings. Sometimes they can last for months.

Next up on our tour is my bedroom. Even though my bedroom is really high up, it’s fun! I love my bedroom. Some things I have in my bedroom are a 1,000 LED plasma TV, a whole playground for my dog, a 3x king size bed and a unicorn stable. My unicorns can sometimes keep me up at night though. My favorite thing that I have in my room is my secret passage. It leads to my butterfly garden. I have over 37 types of butterflies. It can be really cool and relaxing when you feel stressed on an “off” day. Sometimes I have a nice little snack with my friends in the garden. It’s fun and relaxing. There is also a passage in the butterfly garden that leads to one of the best rooms in the whole castle: The Cheese Room. In the cheese room, I have all different kinds of cheese. My favorite type of cheese is Colby Jack cheese! In my cheese room, I have a cheese TV and a cheese cat! I really like my cheese room a lot. Sometimes I even sleep in it. OK, next up is the 190th floor. That’s where I have all my sleepovers. It’s really fun because I have glass walls and when it rains, it’s like being under a rain cloud without getting wet. In my sleepover room, I have a 50-inch plasma TV, a huge row of deluxe beds and another unicorn stable. Usually I invite about five friends over and we hang out, watch a movie or ride unicorns. It’s really fun! I have two awesome more rooms to show you. On my 1,200th floor, I have my pet room. This is my favorite room in the castle. I have 87 pets: 20 dogs, 10 unicorns, 27 cats and 30 fish. It takes a lot of work to take care of them all, so my maid and my robots help me. Now in this room I have a playground for my cats, a glass separate room for my unicorns, a bunch of toys for my dogs and a huge fish tank for my fish. I also have real vet supplies in case one of them gets hurt. The last stop on our awesome tour of my awesome castle is the last floor. This room is a deluxe bathroom and an awesome hot tub. My favorite part of my bathroom is my hot tub because there are awesome soaking jets that you can relax in. I also have a mini waterfall that changes colors. I really hope that you enjoyed my tour of my castle. I hope that you have an awesome day.

If I could live in a future house it would have a style machine that if you step behind a mirror and tell it what you’re feeling- maybe angry, joy, sadness fear then BOOM!! You will have a perfect outfit that matches your mood. You could also have a screen that whatever you’re thinking it would come to life. When you want it to go back it would. Also, I would have an art studio that your paintbrush would make a perfect picture. My house would be really big and the shape would be a square. In my room there would a refrigerator that would fix me whatever I wanted. There would be a hair machine too. It could fix your hair like maybe a bun with a clip in it or a ponytail with a bow. My future house would also have an indoor pool and playground. From my room to everywhere I would have tunnels in the walls to play inside. I would also have a horse that I would ride outside.

What a House in the Future Will Look Like By Brooklyn First, a “future” house would have lots of bedrooms. They would have tons of walking space and spinning closets. Second, there is a huge basement. It has a full sized game area. The basement has a big living area, and the walls glow. The thing that a “future” house has most of is kitchens. They have very long counters and deep sinks. It would have a big refrigerator that makes what you want to eat when you push a button. Outside the house, there are two story sheds. These sheds look like big barns. They are pest controlled and they get rid of bees and rats. The driveway moves and parks your car in the garage for you. You step on the sidewalk and it elevates you up to your house. This is what I think a house in the future will look like. My Future House By Sophia Lively Hi, my name is Sophia.

I will try my hardest to make my country better than it was before I was president. I will also try to give homeless people a job and a home of their own. This way, they have their own kids to raise and have someone to love them the same way other kids are treated. All people deserve a chance and I will not let them get hurt. As president, I would make sure there is a camera in every house. This camera will be used to stop robberies and to make sure people are safe and animals are not mistreated. I would offer a peace offering to all our country’s enemies. My favorite president is our 14th president, Abraham Lincoln. I like Abraham

My Future Household By Abby In the future, I imagine that everything will be amazing and unique, especially houses. So I give to you A FUTURE HOUSE! Bigger beds would be nice to have in the future because right now, beds are tiny compared to what I’m thinking of. Another things that would be nice is to have a better and faster television network. Also, a bigger household that was 12 stories high. One thing that everybody wants is money, so I give to you everything because it would be free! Also, since you have a big household, you might as well have bigger rooms! Last but not least, the carpet would be stain-free! Those are great ways that might be in the future. So until then, enjoy the present. So I conclude the future is awesome!

The outside would be all brick with a big back yard. Inside the home there would be a large kitchen that contains a cooking machine. The machine will cook and give you whatever you ordered by pressing buttons. The house will have many options to help you exercise and stay healthy. For example, an indoor heated pool, a trampoline and a gym. The house will have items to make life easier, such as a machine that chooses a weather-appropriate outfit for the day’s activities. It would also have a gadget to pack your lunch for school or work throughout the house. There would be furniture that is coated to never be dirty. Living in the house would be a human family with robot pets. Robot maids also live there to help the family do laundry and clean up the house. Finally, future homes will be large and full of love and things to help the family be happy. Why Mom and Dad are so Great By Alexandria Craven Hi, my name is Alexandria Craven.

If I were President of the United States By Avery Huffman If I were president of the United States, I would want to change a couple of rules. Here are some of the rules I would change. First, I would get rid of cigarettes. I wouldn’t want people to smoke. it is bad for their health. It’s also bad for the earth. Drugs are bad, too. I don’t like criminals. I would arrest anyone who did anything bad. I would protect animals. I would arrest anyone who tried to hurt any pet on purpose. The last thing I would change is that kids would be allowed to bring electronics to school for recess. That way they could be able to text, call and Facetime their parents during that time. Those are the rules I would make. A president should be peaceful, caring, respectful, calm, fair and honest. Speaking of honesty, my favorite president is Abe Lincoln. He was called Honest Abe. I look up to him. He was very smart. That is why he is my favorite. I would want to be more like him if I were president of the United States of America. Houses in the Future By Gracie Metschke Do you want to hear about houses in the future? Here’s my thought of what they will look like. Picture this, a white glass house in the middle of the ocean with floors that move to take you around the house, waterfalls in each room and a kitchen that cooks

51 for you. How cool does that sound? Even cooler, it has a device that gives you your every demand and the house can even fly to take you where you need to go. There are endless possibilities. Every person in the future gets to design their own home. Some people might want their house in the middle of the jungle or the rainforest to watch the wildlife. Other people might want their house in the middle of the north pole with diamond doors. What a great future it could be. Future House By Ethan Rose This is what a future house looks like. It is a replica of the house we will see. It is less colorful than the real one. This is outside the house. The house is flying. The door is flying and the people are gummy bears. The grass is pink and the sky is orange. The sun is blue and green. The clouds are red but it rains candy. The dirt is yellow. The house is violet red, pink and purple. There is a tube and door that goes to it. There are green floorings. There is a flying table and chairs. There is a yellow gummy bear on the steps. There are drawers too. Cooking future food like ham but ham in the future is called red meat. The thing next to the drawers is a microwave. You just say how long you want it to be and if you want it to stop you say stop. The think under the counter is a furnace. You can cook any food. This is the main hallway of the future house. The orange thing is a window of the sky. The paining has a yellow gummy bear on it. There are three doors and the floor is pink. Now we will go into the green gummy bear’s room. This is the green gummy bear’s room. There is a shelf with a clock, a test, toys and a picture of him. There is a desk and a bed. The blue, yellow and red gummy bears’ rooms are just the same except different colors and more stuff like TV is and so that was the whole house. In conclusion, I would want to live in that future house because the gummy bears would be fun to live with. My Future Home By Carter Chatham When I grow up I’m going to have an amazing home. I will call it the “Carterific Home.” It will be built on top of a mountain, and if you look down you’ll see a very pretty waterfall falling from the mountain I Right when you walk in the house there will be a robot greeting you, and it will ask you what your favorite type of food is. Then he will give it to you. Instead of getting your legs tired by walking it will also give you a Hover board so you can ride it to wherever you want to go! Then when you Hover into the hallway you will see massage chairs that have wheels on it. So then you can move around in the chair! Inside the chair there is a T.V that you can watch and ice cream that you can eat. The ice cream is very good. Then, when you walk pass that there is a

52 bathroom that has a computerized toilet! The couch is very soft and there is a flat screen T.V! There are beautiful windows and if you look down you will see a beautiful lake. You will also see an amazing waterfall. When you go upstairs, there is a very strange looking thing that has a candy door. Of course it is a candy room where all of the candy you can think of is in that room. That room is called the CandyLandRoom. When you walk pass the CandyLandRoom you will see purple, blue, pink, and red dots blinking very brightly. When you walk in the room you will see a disco ball and a dance floor! Once you enter the room you will not get out until you dance or else you will get thrown in the garage. In the garage there are trampolines everywhere. The trampolines are very bouncy and if you bounce high enough you will jump into the hallway above you. Right when you walk in the hallway the walls will be purple and the floor will feel squishy and warm like a pool. When you look up you see something blue. Right when you see that the floors start to move forward and right before you feel like you are going to touch the blue thing the floor pushes you right in it! It will feel like a hot tub and a pool mixed because it is a hot tub mixed with a pool. Even better, it is indoor with a view of a waterfall running off a mountain! The room is very big. It can go all the way to the top of the mountain and then you can jump off the mountain and you won’t get hurt! You will just fall into warm lake water. In the lake there is a trampoline and a very, very tall zip line that goes right into the water! Then, there is an outdoor pool and an outdoor hot tub! You can get on a surf board and it will take you back to the house. You can play indoor or outdoor basketball before you get on your hover board to go eat dinner in your house. There is a restaurant called Carter’s Porkies. It tastes very good. There is any kind of food in the whole world. The house is 160,000 square feet long and wide. It has 150 rooms and 200 floors high. On every five floors there is a diamond chandelier. My family lives here with Stephen Curry’s family and everyone that works for the White House. That is what my future home would be like. My Future Home By Brady Cave My future home would be the best and this is why. One reason is that it would have 8 cars. I also have a garage door with a sensor that senses my cars and my cars only, so when I pull up to the house the garage door automatically opens. The garage door isn’t the only cool thing in my future home. Another thing is my outdoor pool with cool features. One of them is that it has heaters that can keep the temperature at 90 degrees. The other cool thing is that it is so big I have a submarine in it. There are also many fun indoor activities the future home possesses. One of the cool things is a massage room. It has four massage chairs and a hot tub that massages your feet. This room is very relaxing. Another cool indoor feature in my house is

Junior Journal 2016 my sports room. The sports room features more than five TVs to watch sports. The TVs are all around the room with a circular couch in the middle. The sports room also has a record section, that has NFL and NBA records on the wall. I bet this house is better than anything you could imagine. My Mom and Dad By Liliane Duguay My morn and dad are great because they tell me they love me. They give me hugs and kisses. They snuggle with me when I am cold. When I am cold they put a blanket on me. They feed me so 1 do not go hungry. They give me toys so I do not get bored. They give me drinks so I do not get dehydrated.

It is also going to be in the suburb area because it won’t be noisy there. My house is going to be located in Los Angeles because there is lots of things to do there. Inside my house is going to be a big couch and two recliners. I am going to have a 74-inch TV and a 52-inch in my room. In

the kitchen it is going to be really big. When you walk out the back door you will see a big pool with a diving board. There is going to be a robot made to help the house to be clean and to help my kids do their homework. What makes my house so futuristic is that it is going to have an elevator that goes upstairs. There is also going to be a speaker that says hi when I come home. The best thing about the house is that when I clap two times the lights will turn off or on. I really hope J get to live in a house like that in the future. The House of the Future By Olivia Ford The house of the future to me will be amazing. The roof of the house needs to have solar panels with the sun and water to have energy for the home. The house can be controlled by a bracelet that goes on your wrist. There is an app on your I-pad that controls the house, too. When you walk in any room, the lights will turn on and when you walk out of the room, the lights will turn off. There is a robot that cleans your house inside and a robot that cleans outside including picking up dog poop. The kitchen will have counters that float and they will move up and down in case you are short or tall. The refrigerator can tell you if you are low on something or something is expired. Also, if you put a code in the refrigerator, it will give you a certain food or drink that you ordered such as hot spaghetti and meatballs and orange juice. The table will have floating chairs that if you tilt right the chair will tilt right. In the living room it has furniture that is made out of recycled products. The TV in the living room floats. If you push a button on your bracelet or iPad, the living room changes into a game room with virtual reality games and shuffle board. In the bathroom the bottom half of the mirrors have a TV. It has a button that can make your makeup, toothbrush, toothpaste, and brush come to you. Last, it has a digital thermometer for the shower, that you can make the temperature hot or cold. It will have a machine that comes out of the ceiling and dries your hair in 10 seconds. The toilets and shower will also be able to clean themselves. In the bedroom there is a floating bed. The bed can also make its self. The closet will have a computer that you type in what you want to wear and it sends the clothes your way. It will also have an automatic spinner for your belts and hats. The windows will automatically black out at night and lighten up in the daylight. In the garage it has a floating car. In the car there is a device that if you put your finger on the device it will start the car. There is a robot in the garage that can wash your car and take in your groceries. It has a hover board that can float anywhere. The garage can automatically turn into a basketball court with the touch of your app. So you can play family basketball games whenever you want.

DAILY JOURNAL I would be excited if I get to live in a future home like this one! It would make life easier. I would have more time to relax and study for school. If I Were President By Chandler Sheppard If I were president and in charge of the United States of America, I would give the homeless people homes to stay in. I would also give them a decent amount of money. Then, I would give students who really need help paying for school a scholarship. I’ll let people in the military that are fighting in the war visit their family every two weeks. Teachers would get higher pay so they could be happy! I would tell people to stop polluting because it is not right! Then I will tell people all over the United States to call me if they see a lost puppy or dog. I want to save creatures in need. My favorite president is George Washington because he was a great leader. He was also honest and independent. But everybody also trusted him. He is my favorite president because he is brave. But one day I want to be like him. He was also very nice, too. The kind of qualities a president should have: a president should be honest and trustworthy. He has to be brave and nice for his citizens. He has to protect the country. Also has to be reliable. That’s the qualities a president has to have. What a House in the Future will Look Like By Sam Cassel I think a house in the future will be great. It will be made of metal. The metal would be super sturdy, too. In the night the house would glow like crazy! If you stared into them you would get blinded. Everyone would love the inside! They will like it because everything is nice and clean. It would have a wooden floor. The wooden floor would be shiny and waxed. It would have a garage to park your car. In the garage you can also park a jet. Every house would be mansion of course! It would have a pool in the big back yard. There would be a big diving board! There would also be mini, I mean super small, hot tub! You could choose what kind of lights you wanted for your hot tub. On either side of your house there will be a glowing garden. You can plant anything in your garden. When you walk in the house there is a robot that asks what do you like. It will give anything you want. There is an elevator that has a hot tub in it. The hot tub you can choose the temperature. In the kitchen there is a computer that takes your order! So that is what a future house will look like! If I Were President By Kathleen Lacy I would be a great president of the United States because I want to make some changes. I think some things should be cheaper like taxes. I think only the military should have guns and maybe less people would get killed by guns. I would make cigarettes illegal. This would help everyone be healthy and less people would die. I think there

DAILY JOURNAL should be gyms for kids to exercise like adults have. School lunches need to be better. I think lunches need fresh fruits and vegetables and less foods with preservatives and nitrates. There should be more schools in the country and more hospitals. I think there should be more houses because not everybody has a house because there are not enough. I think at stores you should have to be 21 or older to be in the alcohol aisle. I would get the military good weapons. That’s what I would do if I were president. My Future House By Jacob Matlock My future house is going to be like Iron Man’s a.k.a. Tony Stark. It’s going to have 13 people in the house. It’s going to have a 10,000-square-foot garage, so yes, it is going to have a garage. The whole house, counting the garage, is going to be 1 million square feet, two-story mansion house. The outside of the house is going to have a pool and a giant glass window on the inside and outside. The house is going to have a hot tub to get nice and warm on a cool day. The house is going to have quartz walls and white and black carpet for the floor. In the kitchen, it’s going to have a pattern in the floor and it’s going to be the Broncos logo on the floor in the theater room. The arcade room is going to have the New York Giants logo on the floor, just like the theater room but just in the arcade room. The other rooms are going to have NBA logs like the Warriors logo in the master suite. In the other rooms, it’s going to have NBA logos. The bathrooms are going to have a pattern in the floor just like the kitchen. The floor is going to have the same flooring like the kitchen is going to have. There will be quartz and black quartz flooring in each bathroom. That’s all I’m going to have in my future house. What a House Will Look Like in the Future By Julia Short A house in the future would be very different than right now. It would be a lot more technological than now. The living room would have a television that you could use voice control to control what channel is on, how loud it is and turning it off and on, and the lamps would turn off and on with a button. The stairs would be windy and have a set of stairs to go up and a slide to go down. The bedrooms would have beds that you can press a button and come out of the floor. The dresser would have a keyboard and you can get pink short-sleeved shirts, underwear and orange long pants, etc. If you have a jewelry box, there would be automatic organizer to organize your jewelry. The office would be the most technological room of all. It would have a desk that you type in a code and the floor opens and the desk and it comes and goes back into the floor.

Junior Journal 2016 It would be under the ocean and water would be clear and sparkly. It would be like a stretched out sphere. A house would be very different in the future. This is what a house would be like in the future. My House of the Future By Brock Owens This is what I think a house of the future will look like. I think the future house will be pretty big and will sit on top of a mountain. It will be in a circle with a see-through gray glass dome on top. In the dome, there will be a pool and chill-out place with video games, furniture and a mini-movie theater. Leading up to the dome will be a cart that you ride up and down on. Downstairs will be the kitchen. In the kitchen, there will be a toaster that always toasts perfectly the way you want it. There will be a little place in the middle called an island. It has lots of cabinets on top. It has a gray silvery counter. Then there will be a place where there is a counter that is the same color as the island counter. There are stool where your family can eat. There is even an oven where you can type in whatever you want to eat and there you have it, a perfect meal! That is why you don’t need a refrigerator; the oven does all the work for you. There is also a dishwasher that does the same thing but very fast. Next to the kitchen is a washing machine that does not leave any stains on your clothes and does it lightning fast! In my future house, there are three big room for you to sleep in and all of them have a king sized bed. Two of the rooms have a basketball goal that can be any size. There is a half of a court in there with a three-point line, free-throw line and a halfcourt line. The third room has a bigger bed than even a king sized bed. It has a humongous TV in it to watch. There is also a big bathroom that connects to the room with a big mirror. When things get on the mirror, it just slides right off. There is a shower than also can be a bath. It remembers what type of bath or shower you want with a touch screen. Outside there will be a big deck held by posts over the mountain. The deck is made out of steel that is really hard and you can paint it whatever color you want and it will always stay on. You can put anything on it like a grill and a big dining table with chairs around it. If you want to do something outside and there is bad weather, you press and button that puts a see-through dome over the deck. You can still do whatever you wanted to do. In the backyard, there is a big metal dome that has a baseball stadium in it. There are bats where you can pick what type of hit you want and it does it when you make contact. There is a ball that you can pick what pitch you want and how fast you can throw it and it does it. My house of the future has one more cool feature. It has a self-cleaning garage. When your cars get dirty, you press a button and it turns into an automatic car wash.

It was a lot of fun thinking of what I would want in my future house to be, but you are probably wondering who would live in it. It wouldn’t be my home without my family and ME!

Westwood Elementary Third grade Tammy Sluder Why Mom and Dad are Great By Gracie Kauble My mom and dad are great because they pay for my dance classes and are always there for me. They are nice to me and they are good cooks. Plus they sometimes give me a surprise when I get good grades. They have jobs, so we are lucky that they pay for clothes and houses, so we won’t be homeless and they keep us warm. They take us places when we want to go somewhere. They love us so much. They teach us so we learn and try hard. I think mom and dad are great. My Future House By Alex Baugh My future house would be awesome. The garage will float to with floating cars. The living room will be awesome because the TV won’t have any wires to see. The TV will be floating. I love the bedrooms because once you say something you want it will appear. In the bed if you say massage, it will give you a massage. In the kitchen, there will be a machine. The machine will be if you type a food it will make it for you. In the bathroom, you won’t have to flush the toilet. It will flush for you. Also the sink will turn off and on when you tell it to. The shape will be round. The things I would put in are machines like a TV maker, time machine, and an ice cream maker. Another awesome thing about my house is it will be give stories high. I would live with my wife. If I Was President By Jacob Squier I would want to be president because I want to change some things. I don’t like the bad things that are happening. I don’t like all the wars and the bad things that people are doing. I want all bad things to be nice things. Have you guys ever thought of all those bad things that are happening? Do you want that to change? I do and it is hurting people and it is bad. If we try we can change this all. I don’t like the bad drugs people are doing. I want those to be stop being sold in stores and gas stations. It is bad for people to do those things. I want to stop wars because that causes fights and some people don’t like fighting. They’re making more bad things so if you want to stop it, we got to do it fast. Some things are leading to even badder things like that. I don’t like all the robbers and people who are stealing stuff. Can’t our world have peace and nice stuff? Those are some things why I would want to be president.

My Futuristic House By Seyawash Azim My future house will be floating in the sky. It will have a dome on top and a funnel shape on the bottom. My family and I will live there. The other purpose of my house will be to help me explore other planets and travel through time. My house will be 500,000 m2 big. There will also be a castle and a garden inside the dome. There will be machines that I built called CITRONS to protect the castle. My house will be made out of vibrainium (an ore that I made up in my mind.) Exhaust engines will keep my house floating in the air. There will be portals around the dome. They will help me travel through time and space. I will also have a telescope in my house that reaches out of the dome. I use it to find new planets in space. I have cannons around the dome to protect me from any possible threats. I will use droids to go get my food from Earth. My house will have a big garage for my droids and airships. My house will use solar power from the sun. My portals will use cosmic energy. I get cosmic energy by going to other plants and collect the air in a bottle. I will put them in a machine to mix the chemicals to make cosmic energy. My house will not damage the environment. That is how I plan my future house to be like.

Westwood Elementary Fifth grade Alicia Mumma If l were president of the United States By Jalynn Jackson What I would do if I was in charge of the country, I would make the country a better place than I would make sure blacks and whites would be treated right and then I make a law that if you judge whites or blacks, you will be in jail or court . What I will do next make sure that everybody is treated right and they’re not treated for their skin color. I will make sure people are not used as slaves. What else I would do is I make sure animals are not endangered and there not untreated. They will be treated like humans should be: well feed, bathed and cared for. That what I will do if I was in charge of the country. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he is good role model. He freed slaves and did not look as them as old ragged black people like most white people saw blacks. What Abraham always said, “The best way to predicate the future is to create it”. What that means is if you want people to be free, make them be free. All presidents are “We are not makers of history we are made by history’’— Martin Luther king Jr. Abe was a great man and he should be proud of his accomplish and great goals he accomplished. He made blacks feel free like there are right now if Abe was here in the 2000’s he would be proud of what he did what he did to make the world a better place. He was a great amazing person. That

54 is my favorite president of the United States of America. The qualities in a president is being loyal to other people and knowing what to do instead of being like someone who doesn’t know as much to be president like other people . Another quality is you want to help other countries with food,health,and care. You need know how to help you country become amazing country like we are now because of our president. What I think is another quality is you need to help out in the country, like make blankets for homeless and bring home U.S. army’s parents or grandparents so they have a happy holiday and birthday. Those are some qualities that I think of. That what I think presidents should aspire our do! If l were president of the United States By Madelyn Griesemer If l were President of the United States I would uphold the constitution and keep the standard of freedom alive. I would like to help homeless people by creating more jobs so they could get off of the streets. I would also like to have tighter border control, so there would not be so many illegals and drugs coming into our country. Next I would I make more training camps for the U.S. Army so they can withstand ISIS and other terrorists attacks. I would also rebuild the World Trade Center right next to the 9111 Memorial. My favorite president is Abe Lincoln because he is loyal, kind, and true and freed the slaves from slavery. Abe Lincoln is argued as the greatest hero’s in history. He saved hundreds of thousands of people by making the Emancipation Proclamation. Abe Lincoln truly did save the United States. Also, if it wasn’t for Abe Lincoln Martin Luther King Jr. couldn’t have done what he did. To be a president, in my opinion, you need to have a few select traits. Some of them are strong, both mentally and physically, trustworthy, loyal, integrity and intelligence. The reasons I think these are good traits for a president is because ... Let’s start with intelligence, if the president is intelligent he will make smart decisions that will benefit the country. Next take loyal, if the president is loyal to the country he serve it well and take good care of it. If he has integrity he will be honest and will follow through with what he says he will do. Being President of the United States would be one of the greatest honors. It would be an honor because I would be following in the footsteps of all of the great men that shaped this free land of America. If l were president of the United States By A.J. Linville If I were in charge of our country I would make everybody have rights so, they would have their own freedom. I would also make everybody happy by lowing some prices on things like gas mileage and stuff in the grocery. I would also destroy terrarium and any bad people that would come are way. I would also always the Navy, Army, Air Force, and Coast guard will always be ready for battle or war. John f. Kennedy is

Junior Journal 2016 my favorite president because he help people made the U.S. a better place than use to be just like Abram Lincoln because change things with slavery. Kennedy also made a allies with the people in world war two. People also sent missiles at us but Kennedy sent troops to disable the missiles so that the missiles would explode so he saved our country by sending troops up to save us. The qualities my president would have would be kindness, loyal, and trustworthy that would be a good president to me. A president would have to put their feet in the other people’s shoes to see what they would feel like if that was them and see if this would be a good thing for the state or not because it might feel.

needs qualities like patience, good leadership and good leadership. The Gettysburg address was 272 words and was said on November 19,1863.

If I were president of the United States By David Vandersteen I would change how much taxes cost. I would also put security guard at every house. The reason I would do that is I think that people shouldn’t have to pay so much because everyone should be able to live in a house. The reason I would put the security guards so everybody can be safe and nobody can hurt them. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because I think he did a whole lot for our country. I thought that he treated everyone the same and did not treat the richer people more fairly, and he was the 16th president and 16 is my favorite number. I think to be a president you have to have good leadership, you need to have a good education, and you need to watch the news every day to see what is going on in America. That is what I would do if I were president.

If l Were a President of the United States By Kate Beaman If l were president of the United States I would give money to the homeless, so everyone would have a home. I would do that because it is sad to see a homeless person just sitting by the side of the road. I would make a shelter for the homeless. My favorite president is George Washington. George Washington was America’s first president. He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He was one of the Founding Father of the United States of America. I think that a president needs to be calm. He needs to be calm because if war comes upon them, he is not freaking out. They also need to be honest, so they know they can trust you. He also needs to be able to focus. He needs to be able to focus because he needs to get things done and not get side tracked. He would need to brave to face physical danger. The last thing is a positive attitude. He needs a positive attitude so he can keep his team motivated.

If I were president of the United States By Sophie Thompson If I were in charge of America I would not make any one pay taxes. If I were President I would let people have one thing out of the store they went to. My favorite President is Abraham Lincoln. If I could pick my favorite President it would be Abe Lincoln because he stopped slavery. If I were President I would put a free pool in every ones back yard. I would give homeless people more money so they could buy a house and buy more food for their family. I would give people free passes to their favorite restaurant that would never expire. I would make every body’s family live a good life with no robbers or thieves. If I were president I would give all the people free job applications so they would get a good job that pays them good money so they could pay for food for their family. If I were president I would make the word a better place. Thank you for reading my article. If I were president of the United States By Nick Mullins If I were president of the United States I would make the United States a better place and I would make not as much violence in the world. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln because he stopped slavery and he is the author of the Gettysburg address which was a long speech. A president

If l were president of the United States By Jordan Giokas If I were president of the United States of America I would change the rules around the world because it is insane because I want to. It would be my rule like no shooting, no guns, no slavery and no racism and we will have no wars. My favorite president is Abraham Lincoln. He is my favorite and he ended slavery and he was awesome and really good at his work and he was a leader and not a follower

What houses will look like in the future By Isabella Hoffmann I think that houses in the future will look like this, I think that it would have a tall roof. It would very good connection; it would rarely have bad connection. It would have lots of outlets. About seven bedrooms. Bigger bathrooms, two master bed. They would be up in the air. Bigger back yards, animal rooms, there would be two of them. Their neighborhood would be big! They would have a big kitchen. There would be a game room. There an indoor swimming pool.

What my house of future will look like ... By Joshua Michael Hull My house is going to be a mega mansion! It will have a bridge leading to its woodplanked entrance loaded with lamp-posts on the side and a sign greeting you at the

DAILY JOURNAL dramatic staircase. The staircase is 24 feet high and almost as fancy as the Titanic grand staircase!!! The staircase leads to a glass-covered balcony with a floor of sandstone. The main entrance has four 15-feettall cobblestone pillars on two sides leading to 2 I0-feet-tall wooden doors with three glass windows in each. The isle leading to the main entrance has windows in each wall besides the glass wall. In all, the mansion is 914 feet tall. The insides are cool. There is a hallway leading to the first room. The first room is the living room. There is a mega-flat screen television and two sofas with an armchair. Then, there is the kitchen. It has three refrigerators , two sinks, 17 cabinets and four microwaves. Leading out of the kitchen there’s the dining hall. The hall has lights on the walls. Now, the dining room. A luxurious chandelier hangs from the plastered wooden ceiling and a 2-feet-3-inch tall table with high chairs. Finally, my room! I have a kingsized bed with a canopy over it and I have a regular flat-screen television. (By the way, my room is upstairs). Now, the TV room! It has an enormous movie screen television in an huge armoire! Well, I hope you guys enjoyed it! Bye. What houses will look like in the future By Ty Williamson What a house of the future will look like? Some of the neat things I would put in the future house is it will be on a little waterfall. The waterfall will be right be hind the house but the house is going to be on the water and the water going to the waterfall. But the house is going to be a huge house with 5 garage so you can have a lot of space to put your stuff in. Plus I will make houses very cheap since houses now a day that are big likes this one but houses now a day cost like 22,000 our something. How big the house is going to be is it going to take up about a 2,000 square feet. But that’s how much the house will take up not including how much aces you’ll have that’s what the house is going to look like in the future. What houses will look like in the future By Paige Spate What a house of the future would look like I think a house of the future would have lots of amazing things including, lots of TVs everywhere you look, and also it will be super big. There would be a lot of colors. There would be a variety of food. There is going to be a very big pool, with a fountain. I hope there would be a back yard that is huge. If I were to live in this house I would love it. My house in the future will be very cool. If I had to pick a shape it would be the oddest shape possible. The shape would go every which way. The house would turn and have corners, and would have a rainbow that never goes away. My house would also have 101 windows. The house would also be under the water, so I could see all of the wonderful fish and starfish. The house would have stair leading to the house from land. In my house there would be me and all of my family and also all of my amazing friends. I would also have a parking garage,

DAILY JOURNAL because everyone would want to come. I would also include a waterpark an arcade, and a petting zoo. I would even name my house, Paigelandea. If my house got built I would be famous. I am also going to need security guards. That would be my dream/ future house. What a house of the future will look like By Kamryn Sparger A house of the future will have some of the latest technology of that time. One of the futuristic things in the future house will be auto sensing doors in all of the entry ways in the home. The house will be empty and you will have a tablet in each of the rooms. When you press a button that furniture item will appear out of nowhere! Another neat thing will be you will have the opportunity to have any pet you want with just one robot pet. You can have a dog, cat, bird, fish, etc. You will not have a garage to put your car in, you would have a landing pad at the top of the house to your flying car on! Not having trouble and taking a long time getting your car in and out of the garage. The house will also have a video chat screen that is the size of a 60 in. Television screen! You could see two whole families with that. Maybe even more than that. A few more ideas I have are when the futuristic times come, maybe 2065, the houses will have hologram retailers in the home instead of driving all the way across the city to the nearest retail or company. You would have to look around the home and plan your design for the empty house. You can just have fun renovating your new home and make it your own. You can make your house at any location in the world! Maybe the Great Wall of China, over the Pacific Ocean, or even the Amazon Rainforest! You would have automatic windows to see out into a whole new world! Open and close the windows for your delight. Your own library in the house to get any book you want! You would have power converters to convert from DC or AC electricity whenever you want! If you want the latest technology I would suggest one of these houses. Wait I’m not done yet! You would have you own game room with any game and console set you want. Like a PlayStation 1-5, X-Box 360, X-Box One, Wii U, and all of the latest gaming remotes and other tools to have fun in your house. Also, your own arcade room. All of the amazing, futuristic, awesome, astonishing, breathtaking, and astounding things I said about the home of the future in the years of 2065. Who knows, the future will have the most amazing house that the world has ever seen! Now all of the citizens will live in futuristic style! What a house of future will look like By Langdon Frye What a house of future will look like is that it will look futuristic. It will have a flying car and it will be three times the size of any other house. The house of future will not use doors and instead use teleporting to get inside the house. The house of future will also have sweet furniture and an I phone like TV. The house of future will have plenty

Junior Journal 2016 of new foods. It is going to have a robot butler, a robot cook, and a spa robot. The doghouse will have a dog food machine and a bone machine for treats for the dog. That is what a future house will look like. What a house of the future will look like By Kayli Farmer Well a house of the future would probably have clouds instead of stairs. The clouds would change colors of the mood your feeling. The cloud would also move around were you go. So the cloud would be voice controlled and you would tell it left, right, or even 360. So that would be the way of transporting inside the house. You would have a gigantic garage for your flying car. Which runs on air and water. The house would be right in the middle of the Grand Canyon. It would be attached by 1,000 super thick and stretchy material. My house would contain a bed that will move with you too. Since you always feel like sleeping in all the time. The color of the house would change whatever you think since whenever you paint the walls and you always feel like you should’ve choose a different color. My kitchen would contain moving pans, food, and anything else you can think of. Now let’s talk about the landscape of the house. The house will have a pool that hangs over the Grand Canyon. The pool will have see through glass. That looks through the Grand Canyon. That’s not all since I would have a dog living with me I will have a sidewalk that leads over to the other side. For my dog so he can get back to the house. Now let’s talk about who will be living with me. Well I would have my dog Bailey. Just like the dog I used have she passed away. I would also have my mom and dad visit me. From now and then. I would also get around by air transport. Which would be a huge drone that carries me around. My future will be incredible when it’s built. But I saved the most important thing for last I have learned how to grow plants with no sunlight. I won’t get into detail. But you have to promise never to tell anybody because if someone finds out they will probably throw away all of my work. Who knows what will happen to me. Now you have to promise to never to tell anyone. Now to wrap this up so I can get back to working on my experiment. I have to go now I will see you in the future. Good bye for now. What a house of future will look like By Jagger Davis My house of the future would have very cool things. The things in my living room would be a flat screen TV, a huge couch, and a bookshelf with family memories. My bedroom would have a huge bed, a baby crib, pictures, sports balls, and hover board. That’s just some rooms I can’t name all of them. My future house would be a mansion. With a garage I would put my sports cars. The people in my house. Would be me, my baby, my wife, and my dog. That’s what my future house would look. What a house of future will look like By Clayton Barrett I think a house of the future would look

like one now, but it would float in the air. The reason that I think it will float in the air is because when you look at science today compared to the olden days it has improved greatly. Also right now there are skateboard type things that can float about 4 inches in the air. But then I also think that houses of the future will just look nicer than they do now. Just because science will improve greatly. Plus people will just do a lot of new things to improve their houses. So that is why I think houses of the future will improve greatly. Why my mom and dad are so great By Noah Rosado They have always love me unconditionally and They always spend a lot of time with me even though they don’t always like the decisions I make, they will always be there to support me even when I fight, they still love me no matter what and Growing up, I experience so many things because They travelled with me and showed me that there is so much out there to explore and so many things to learn. They always made time for me. They also set the best examples for me because they are so nice and they never fight. Why my mom and dad are so great By Kylee Minnick My mom and dad are so great because they say nice things and compliment me. Also they are great because they get me nice things like my dad got me two horses and my mom got me a puppy! Also my mom is great because she gets me presents for my birthday and she provides care for me and she makes me feel better when I come home from school crying because my friends are being mean to me. Plus he does fun things with me like he takes me to the farm he works at to let me see the animals he takes care of and he takes me horseback riding with the two horses he got me for my birthday. My dad is also great because he cares for me when im sad because my older brother is being mean to me. Also my dad is great because he takes me to nice places Also my mom and dad are both great because they both do great things for me and clean up after me and take me to nice restaurants even when I don’t ask them to that’s how great my mom and dad are. Why my mom and dad are so great By Kolton Weddle My mom and dad have done so many things to show how awesome, kind, and thoughtful. One of the main reasons I love and think their awesome is because I was in foster care and I was in eight different foster homes, and I was with other foster parents. They told me that me and my sister (Khloe) that we would be gone for four days and come back, but instead we had to stay with the family that we had to go to for four days, because the foster parents that we were with before didn’t want to take care of us anymore. After being with the Weddles for one and a half years they asked us if we

55 wanted to get adopted, and we said,” yes.” After a year’s worth paperwork, they said we would have to come to a big building in Indianapolis on Dec. 4. On Dec. 4 we came to the building and we met some friends named the Gourleys .They were from our church. We took a lot of pictures. That is the biggest reason I love and think my parents are awesome. Why My Mom and Dad are so Great By Justice Goodwin My first reason my mom and dad are so great because they take care of me. When I am hungry they feed me. When I’m thirsty they give me something to drink. They also give me a place to sleep at night. The second reason is because they set good examples. Such as not stealing. Nor lying. Plus I’ve never cheated. They’ve also taught me not to bully. I’ve also never abused anyone! The third reason is because they say the nicest things to me! Such as “You look pretty today.” Or “You are the best kid ever.” So if you ask me why my parents are the best that’s why! Why my mom and dad are great By Jayden DeRossett My mom and dad are awesome because they care for me and they get me food and they love me more than anybody in the world. They will sacrifice their life for me what do they do they when I am sad they try to cheer me up and they get me a big bundle of both of them and hug me till I can’t breathe. The moment we hug I can’t believe that their my parents and that their back together Why My Mom and Dad Are So Great By Braelyn Daniele Here are couple reason why my parents are so great. Also how to they set a great example for me and my little brother. One reason that my mom set a great example for me is that she told me stories about how she made mistakes. Like how she spilled boiling water over her arm, and that they put a towel with butter on her arm. So that meant for me that boiling water is really hot. Another thing she sets a great example is when my foot was hurting really bad she was trying to teach me how to run the right way. One reason that my dad is so great is that when my brother and I were sad he would try to cheer us up with some laughs. My mom would also try to cheer us by laughs too. Every time I was mad or sad she would tickly me in till I smiled. My dad would try to make my brother and I by making cartoon voices, like Elmer Fudd. To cheer us up. One reason why my dad and mom are so great because they try to make me do my chores by dad sticking his stinky foot in face to help make me do my chores. Mom also makes me do my chores in the morning by if l do all my stuff (making my lunch, getting dress, and etc.) I can watch TV. Also my dad helps me do my chores by getting little toys as a thanks for going what I’m supposed to do. Here are reasons why my parents are so great from making us not do stuff to making us getting chores done.
