This essay was written by a young girl who lives in my area. She was reading Harry Potter in Kindergarten and gave a speech on global warming for her 1st grade talent show. (sound familiar, anyone?) Now she is in 5th grade and wrote the following essay which is part of an on-line article from The Washington Post. I wanted to share it.
