KIDS TALK BACK

We asked fifth-graders at Andersen Elementary School in Newport Beach:

What are your New Year’s resolutions?

To do good in school. Do my best. To help other people by maybe

donating things to them. I would like to be more respectful of other

people.

-- ABIGAIL CARRIER, 10,

Newport Beach

My goal is to do real good in school. In English, because it’s the

hardest for me to do. I want to help the poor people, build a house for

them to live in. [I would like to] do better in sports and more sports.

-- MELISSA MANNI, 10,

Newport Beach

I would like to try to do good in all my tests at school. I’d like to

help my family stay healthy by eating healthy stuff and exercising. I

would like to be respectful and responsible.

-- RACHAEL HUPP, 10,

Newport Beach

I would like to help the poor more in the hospitals. Yeah, I help the

hospitals a lot. We give them books, we give them little things for the

kids to play with. I would like to get straight A’s.

-- MONICA ARYA, 10,

Newport Beach

I would like to do a lot better in my homework, and I would like to

help the hospitals, like be a candy striper.
