The 4-1-1: Dear President Barack Obama (494 hits)

(QM's Note: Yasir Riggins, a special needs student in my writing class at School #16 class submitted this letter as his writing sample to me. His interest and letter blew me away. This young man is smarter than everyone thought. He became one of my favorite students because he enjoyed the challenges I put to him via writing. Enjoy!)

Dear President Barack Obama:

My name is Yasir Riggins and I live in Rochester, New York. I'm eleven years old and I'm in the sixth grade. I attend John Walton Spencer School #16. I'm pretty sure my whole family voted for you. There are many problems that need to be fixed, but no one man can do them all. I think the five major problems. Number one gas prices should be lower. The price of fruit has to be raised because of gas prices being so high. The farmers have to travel lots of miles. You should drill more holes for oil so we won't have to go to war. You also should lower taxes so that people can own their houses. Maybe you should do something for the unpopular cities or towns so people would visit them. You should stop global warming: we need a healthy earth to live on.

President Obama, how did you feel when you became president? What are your current plans? How are you going to help us? What sports did you play when you were young? How did you react when you heard that you won? What do you think about The White House? What will you do to make public schools better?
