KIDS TALK BACK

-- Compiled by Angelique Flores

The Independent asked students from Dwyer Middle School about the one

thing they never leave the house without.

“Candy. Mostly lollipops and suckers because candy just makes my day.

I have more fun with it.”

NANCY CERVANTES, 11

“Gum, because I like chewing gum.”

JOSE CORTEZ, 14

“I don’t leave home without my backpack and my school stuff because

they’re important for school for me to learn.”

MARIA GUZMAN, 11

“My pencils because if I didn’t have them, I couldn’t write at school

and write down phone numbers.”

ERIKA TORRES, 13

“My earrings because my mom gave them to me on the Santo, and they’re

special.”

LUPITA MADRIGAL, 14
