Photograph of Kierstenthoughts…

on teachers… The only teacher that I like is my teacher now… cause she is nice and we get candy. Like this Easter, we had a party in our classroom, even though it is on the weekend.  We had a party and um she… bought everything. She bought cake, chicken, pizza and I can’t name the rest.
on dogs…  [I like] my dog…  Well, I don’t like her now cause she is having puppies…  My mom says she don’t want no more dogs, and I say I don’t want to get rid of them and then she says we have to get rid of them and we can only keep only two or three.
on the school…  The school is real old, and, um, I like the, um, to play in the gym.
on the future… I want to be a doctor and work in an emergency room and I want to be a scientist, but I can’t do both at the same time.
