February 12, 1992...The Portland Observer...Page 5 Faubian Elementary School Stridents W hen I grow up I want to be a pediatri cian doctor because I like kids a lot and I want to be a doctor but not for grow n ups. It would be fun to be a doctor. I also want to be a teacher because I look to teach younger kids than me. I want to be a 2nd grade teacher. I play school with little kids at home upstairs. A teacher is also fun to correct work and to make work. If I was a teacher we would do a lot o f art every day. W hat I want to be when 1 grow up is a fashion designer. I want to be a fashion designer because I like art and I really like to draw and design things. I like clothes and making up fashions.

I make my class laugh a lot. I would also like to be a writer because I have a good imagination for stories. W hen I grow up I would like to be a police officer or a school teacher. I want to be in sports and be the best. I want to go to college and make some- thng out o f my life.

Johnny Casarez Age 10 Paul Casarez Age 11 W hen I grow up I want to be a Nintendo game designer because I’ve always wanted to design my own Nintendo game. I think it would be fun designing games o f the future! S we eta Derrow Age 11 Jackie Fife Age 10 Brian Bacon Age 10 I haven’t really decided what I w ant to be when 1 grow up, but I thought about being a zoo-keeper or something that has to do with working with animals (but not a veterinarian). I would like to work with animals because I like ani mals and would like to learn more about them. My favorite subject in school is art. I like art because every assignment is different. Art is fun. You get to learn to do neat and interesting things in art. You could make presents and party decorations that you learned how to make in art. T here’s a lot o f things you can be to heal things but I chose a veterinarian. It’s fun seeing an animal all healed up and happy. Being a veterinarian you heal animals instead of seeing them suffer. To be a veterinarian, you proba bly need about 4 years o f training. You need to know what to do in a certain situation, examine the animal and know w hat m edicine to give. My goal in life is to be an psychologist. I want to be an psychologist because I like people, and I also enjoy making other people happy. I love helping other people with their problems. I want other people to trust me with then- problems. Helping others, lets me see a different outlook on life; it makes me feel good. So I hope people will know there is hope in this world today.

I d o n ’t always like to way the stories I read end up. One of the reasons I want to be an author is that I can w rite the stories and have them end up the way I w ant them to. renewable for up to four years, Carter said, which sets them apart from other minority scholarships available. “ I probably w ouldn’t have been able to go to school without this pro gram ,” said the 20-year-old W arren, a senior at the University o f Oregon in Eugene majoring in Asian studies and business.” ‘ ‘This program has made it easier for me to concentrate on college because I don’t have to worry about how I’m going to finance school,” said Kyle, a 21-year-old business major studying at Oregon State University in Corvallis, OR.
