I want to be a baseball star
when I grow up because I want
to be a famous person and want
everybody to remember me. I
want to be on a card. I want my
parents to tell me that I was an
‘A ’ student to get to be in the
league
When 1 grow up I want to be
a artist because I draw very
well. I’m a very good stu­
dent and it’s my dream, or to
be a veterinarian.
When I grow older I want to
be a baby doctor and a dance
teacher. When I am in high
school 1 want to be on the
cheerleading team. Most of
all 1 want to have an educa­
tional life.
