“I HAVE A DREAM”
Semaj Johnson
My dream is to see youth doing better in life. Many discriminate against us for a number of reasons, not only age. Reasons such as background or the way we look. To change it I would like youth to go to school more. Show youth that they have a bright future.
Dominique Hutchinson
My dream is that there could be equality among everyone with no discrimination because of sexual orientation, gender, race, or religion.
"LEGACY"
Semaj Johnson
My legacy would be a great one. I want to be remembered as a singer. I also want to be remembered as a businesswoman who helps her community. I also want to be a designer and build my own empire.
Elizabeth Amezquita
I don’t want to have a legacy about me that will be stereotyped or thought of when I lay in my tomb getting buried under six feet. At that point I just want people to remember me as a gift of god that was placed on earth to be known as a great doctor that discovered the cure for AIDS and HIV.
Febianna Gonzalez
I want my legacy to be that I was a very helpful and involved person, who’s powerful in whatever business I get into. I also want to travel the world and live life to its fullest.
Vonmarie Thomas
I want to be known for my modeling and for my job as one of the best stockbrokers. I also want to be known as a smart beautiful person who was good at what he strived to do; a role model for young people.
Gloria David
I want people to remember me as the best lawyer; the one who changes the schools; the helpful person and the best writer.
Qu Ting Zheng
I would like to let people know it’s ok to be different and don’t let stereotypes affect you. Just be you and if they don’t like it, it’s just too bad for them. I also want to be a powerful Chinese female politician or a successful business woman. I might want to help kids find a home. I also want to travel the world.
Dominique Hutchinson
A successful lawyer who helped fight for justice
A kind God-full woman
A leader to all
Anastasia Arce
I would like to have everyone I know who I am and respect me. I would like to have movies that tell everyone who I am and what I did in my life. I would like to make movies and be known for them.
