A couple of months ago, I was looking through my box of memories from Junior High, and I came across my journal from school. I got the biggest kick out of myself and really enjoyed remembering "7th grade me". I seemed to be passionate and a bit dramatic! In honor of election day, I thought I'd type my journal entry on everything I'd change about the world "If I were President". This might be boring to everyone (if so, you don't have to read), but I got a kick out of it! :) (BTW, I'm typing it exactly as I wrote it.)
Feb. 17, 1993
If I became president of the U.S., I would change a lot of things. First of all I would make cars w/ no air pollution coming out. I would put recycling trash cans in every neighborhood or alley. I would not allow any more trees to be cut down. For fire logs in the winter you would buy immitation wood such as duroflame logs. I would forbid smoking, drinking, and drugs. I would also forbid violence. I would put alarm systems where you step on the button on the floor in not just banks, but everywhere else. I would (underlined)lower the taxes. For money I would tell the places that make money to make more & then I would give all the towns in the U.S. money every month. I would make (underlined)everything less expensive. I would make teachers, policemen, and firemen get paid (underlined)alot more. Without teachers a lot of people wouldn't have an education. Without policemen there would be (double underlined) a whole lot more violence. The rate would go (underlined)way up. Mabey even triple. Policemen are majorly needed! Without firemen there would be a lot more houses burning down because it would spread & spread. Those 3 jobs are extremely important! Where would we be without them? I would tell everyone about God hoping they would go to church, but I cannot make them. That's not what God wants. I would make more playgrounds, amusement parks, etc. I would give all the homeless people food, homes, and jobs. I would not make war w/ anyone, but I would talk it out and make peace. I would make the world a lot more fun to be in so people won't commit suicide.
I seemed to have an answer for everything! LOL! On some things (OK-maybe 1 or 2) I was ahead of my time, some were BAD ideas, and others were just hilarious to me. Just thought I'd share if you were bored and wanted something to laugh at!

You got my vote! ha! I loved this! I, too, love your innocence and passion to change the world!
That is too funny! You would be a very ambitious President! My favorite line was "Policemen are majorly needed!"
Love how you spelled "Maybe" (mabey)...I agree with Kimberly - you seem so innocent and passionate - very sweet - your parents must have been so proud of you! If only more people in politics were like that...
Lauren for prez!! So cute. Wow, Jame is just growing and growing...he is a knock-out like his mama!!
I'm glad I have your votes if I ever decide to run!
Lindsey,
I remember having trouble with that word growing up. I don't know when or how the right spelling stuck! :)
Thanks, MDM. You are too kind!
It is amazing how your mind at that age pretty much hit it all. GOD BLESS AMERICAN. Without him we could not dream so big or even have a chance to be the PRESIDENT. I am in too. The buttons on the floor, that won me over... THANKS for the remind of how our little lives were full of dreams and hope. LAUREN for President!!!!
