A Child’s Look at the New President
In today’s New York Times, Jory John, program director at 826 Valencia (Dave Eggers’ tutoring center), shares some letters to the new president written by 826 students across the country.
Dear Obama,
If I were president I would have fun, because I could run fast.
— Kenja Zelaya, age 6, Los Angeles
Dear President/Mr. Obama,
The best thing about living in the White House would be running around like a maniac. The thing I would like least is the work.
— Holly Wong, age 9, San Francisco
And don’t forget to check out the portraits…
Kids are the ones we should all study from. I think by “running around the white house” that kid meant that they would be so happy because they became president. That feeling from the childhood, when you feel so anxious and happy, and nice burning feeling inside your chest.
Eastern wisdoms say that we should come back to our childhood before even starting to think about self development. Now I think I understand why ;)
I wish you luck and happiness!
May the Great Light guide your path forever!
