Comments about the future of our country.... by
the students....our future
Presidents are not just pictures in a book.
The Constitution is an awesome document. It
started long ago, but keeps up with
todays world.
I think in the future there will be a female
president.
It was interesting to learn about the problems
each president tried to solve.
Ive learned that one day I can become
President of the U.S.A. I was born here.
President, not king, thats the title that
Washington wanted.
We live in a country where all voices can be
heard
The presidents, the flag and the country have
all changed with time.
