Name: Karen
School: East Middle School

Age: 13

I feel that I should stay in New York City and probably raise my children (if I ever to have any children) here because NYC is so diverse. I want my children to grow up in a diverse school where they can meet all diferent types of people from a variety of ethnicities.

Another reason that I would stay here is that NYC has many opportunities and jobs that I can receive anywhere else. It is also very convenient here. There are stores everywhere you go, and there's public transportation. But I think that when I grow a little older and my kids have gone of to college, I would move to a foreign country because I've wanted to travel.

 

 

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.


Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.


Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.


Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?


If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?
