Lincoln School Visions
- when I get older I hope that the air is fresh. I want to see recycling bins on the streets. I hope we have plenty of trees for the air. I hope we don’t have as much plastic as we do today. If the streets aren’t paved I hope they are and I wish the houses are nice and colorful.
- I think it should look like a clean environment and healthy and kind people love people food drinks and have money and help the homeless so they can have a place to live.
- I want it to be great and I want to. Help people and be nice
- I want to not carry the bad stuff that has happened to me at a young age and how much trouble I’ve been in. I’d like to carry forward good things like my education and grades and helping homeless people like feeding them and giving them money, shoes, and clothes. I’d like to leave behind negativity, violence and racism–black folks shouldn’t be treated like they are.
- I think that we should all help people in need. I also think that people should always believe in their self. God is key.
- When I’m past 19 I would like to have a nice house, good shoes, and a nice car/jeep, and go to church often on Sundays.
- When I go back to Lincoln I will see my teachers and I will come here in 15 years. And I will go back home and I will go to sleep.
- I think the homeless people should be treated equally and fairly like other people should be treated!
- in 15 years we will have a better planet if we turn our eyes to Jesus
