October 20 was the deadline for contest entries in the kidsnewsroom U.S. Presidential Challenge contest. The challenge was this: This year, a new president will be elected. Send us an essay or art work that shows how YOU think our new leader could make the United States a better place! The winning entry was a poem, shown below, submitted by Corey D, age 13, from Allentown, Pennsylvania To our new U.S. leader I'll cut to the chase. Please make our country A much better place. By sheltering the homeless. And finding a cure For those who are sick Or misguided, or poor. By ending the sadness And all the frustration That comes when our system Deprives education To those whose skin Isn't pure white. They need to learn too. They do have a right To be heard To have voice To be seen With a choice. Be there for all Who need your protection And you will have won The real U.S. election. Kidsnewsroom congratulates Corey on his original and thoughtful challenge to the U.S. president. Great job, Corey! |
