If I had to pick someone to be the president of the United States of America I would pick someone who is loyal, funny, kind, SMART, and hard working and a girl who does and is all of those things is Grace Meldrum. Here are a few examples: Loyal because she is always there for me when I need her . Funny because she always finds a way to make me laugh when I am mad or in any mood. Kind because she is so nice to everyone no matter what. SMART because she is always at the top of her class. Hard working because she works so hard on her class work and sports. It is important to have these characteristics when you are president because if you are not hard working and a president what would you get done. If you are not Loyal then how can you be trusted. Funny is not really important when you are president but it makes you more likeable. SMART because the world has complicated problems. Kind because you are nice to the people that don’t agree with you. I obviously think that Grace is best for the job because she has all these characteristics and she is my best friend.

If I had to pick someone to be president, I would pick my dad. He has good leadership qualities like managing situations, stern when he needs to be, and is kind to all people. For example, he works as a construction planner for PG&E. He has to plan for all up coming jobs. Sometimes he’s put in difficult situations he has to manage. When things get hard at work, my dad handles it very well. I admire my dad so much, I don’t think that I admire anyone else as much as I do my dad!

One pearson I think would be a good student president would be Annie Dixon. I would choose her because three virtues she has are: respect, caring , and patient. She shows all of that at school, home and everywhere. Annie respects everybody, students and teachers. She also shows that she's caring because she is never rude to anybody, but most of all, she is patient and waits her turn for everything. I think she would be a great president for not only school but for anything.

I think my older brother Tyler would be a good president because he is trustworthy, caring, and loyal. He shows he’s loyal because even though he is in Oregon he always makes time to visit. He shows he’s trustworthy because he keeps his promises. He shows he’s caring by when my older sister needed help he did. Tyler would be a great president.

My dad would be a great leader because he is already the leader of his own company. My dad is very creative. He is also trustworthy and hard working. He is creative because he finds new trails to ride on our dirt bikes. My dad is trustworthy because he can never tell a lie. My dad is hard working because he does not stop working until the job is done. That's what makes my dad a great leader.

A person I think should be president is my papa because he is so good at his job and he never gets angry at his work (Okay maybe sometimes). He is Truthful about what he does and he is always tells the truth. He also is caring and when someone gets picked on in the house he’s always there to help. Lastly he is patience, when he doesn't get something right away he waits and waits for the time to come (good for Christmas)! I think my papa would be could at the president of the U.S.A.

If i had to pick someone to be the president of the school it would be my sister Isabella and her friend Jake. They have always wanted to be president and they do such good teamwork i'm not just saying that because she is my sister no if I didn't believe in her then I would not be writing this right now. She is a very uplifting person and i'm not lying but it would be fun because she has such amazing ideas they almost work all of the time. A lot of people love Jake he is like an older brother to a lot of people and that is why they like him so much he will stand up to people if they are being mean to others and tell them what they're doing right and wrong. Jake and Bella are great at serving others and themselves. If you want something to be changed they will go out of there way and be as flexible as they can to make what you want to come true. You have to have patience with them sometimes because if they are president there will be a lot of stuff going on and just be nice and have patience for them and yourself. I personally think that Bella and Jake would be the best president but I respect all of the people who are running.

I pick my dad to be president. I pick him because he is trustworthy, honest and brave. One time I asked my dad to keep a secret and he did. He is very honest because he i asked him to give me a straight answer, he did it.Out of all of these he is brave because he killed a rattlesnake that was one yard away from us. The snake had 11 buttons on it.

If I had to pick someone to be president it would be my sister, Carolina. I would pick her because she’s caring, honest, and trustworthy. Carolina is honest because whenever you ask her for her opinion, she will always give you her honest opinion, even if sometimes it’s not a really nice one. She is also caring because if someone tells her their ideas, she won’t just care about her own idea, she will also care about your idea. Carolina is trustworthy because if you tell her something, she will never tell anyone else and she keeps it to herself. As you can tell, Carolina would be a great president.

If i had to pick someone to be president I would pick my past wrestling coach because he is very productive.He gets things done and he is very nice. When there was a problem he fixed it like when i got hurt i wanted to keep practicing but he made me stop because I was hurt. He pushed me to my best thats why i think he would be a great president. Someone else I think would be a great president is my best friend nikki she always is great at getting things done and she hears people out and tries to solve their problems she tries her best even if she doesn't succeed she helped me when I was feeling down even though she went to a different school than me and she helped lots of people around her,her smile brought a smile to everyone's face in my opinion and that's why I think she would be a great president.

I would pick one of my basketball coaches Kaelyn Davis. I would pick him because he has the virtues of truthfulness, patience and service. He is Truthful because when ever I did something wrong he would tell me and not just let it go. He is Patient because sometimes the kids would get rowdy but he would just wait for us to listen for instructions. He has the virtue of service because he does not get paid to be a coach in the league. This is why I would pick Kaelyn Davis as president.

In my opinion I think my grandpa would be a good president because he is trustworthy, responsible, and generous.

He is trustworthy because if you ask him to do something he will do it and if you give him a time limit and he will do it. If you ask him to build wood stairs in amount of time he will do that for you. So you can trust what he says.

He is responsible because if you give him paperwork to do he will do it that second. You can rely on him because if you let's say give him an electric job he will do it for you. He also runs his own electrical company and that takes a lot of responsibility.

My grandpa is generous because he buys things for people and if he was President he would buy stuff for the government. He is also generous because he cares about people and helps other people out.

Now you can tell he is trustworthy, responsible, and generous that is why I think my grandpa would be a good president.

I would choose Alaina for president because she is, she’s responsible, kind, and trustworthy. When she is in a group she always tries to help everyone not just herself. I’ve also seen her comforting a friend when they need it. Finally, She is very trustworthy. She always lives up to a promise and she doesn't take anything from anyone else unless she asked them first, then she always gives it back when she's done with it. So as you can see this is three reasons why I think Alaina would be a good president.

A person I think would make a good president is Mr Reed because he’s patient, enthusiastic, and caring. I also think he would be a good president because he ‘s already a good principle. He’s always so enthusiastic about school. He’s always caring to his students. He’s always patient with students. He’s also always very friendly. That's why I think Mr. Reed would make a good president.

If I had to choose someone to be president, I think it would be Mr. Reid . I think a president needs to be respectful, reliable, and responsible for their actions.

A president needs to be respectful to others whether they agree with them or not, and they need to be respectful of themselves. A president needs to listen to their voters and the people they represent. Mr. Reid is very respectful. He talks about the people he respects all the time and others respect him. He tells us that respect is a great virtue, and he is right.

Another important trait for a president is reliability. They should do what they say they’re going to do and people should be able to depend on them. Mr. Reid always does what he says he will do. When something needs to be done, he remembers to do it.

A third trait a president should have is responsibility. A president should turn things in on time, and they should not shift the blame to others when it is them at fault. Mr. Reid is very responsible. Mr. Faith said that when someone makes a mistake, he helps them and says they’re all in it together.

I think Mr. Reid would make a very good president and I’m sure many people would agree with me.

A person I think would be a good leader is my friend Payton. Payton is kind, Respectful, and Responsible. She is very responsible because she was vice president in fifth grade and even though she had to go to meetings and missed a lot of class she still got her work turned in and had good grades. She is also very kind because she doesn't care how people look or act , she is still nice no matter what. She is also very respectful to her peers. I think Payton could even be president someday.

If I have to pick a president it would be Warren because he is kind, reliable , and trustworthy kid. Warren is kind because he will not yell at other kids, he does not talk while others are talking he listens to them before he talks. Warren is reliable because he always gets to school super early and hangs out with everyone so he could get to know them better. Warren is trustful because he never tell lies and he does not say mean things about people. Warren is trustworthy because he will take notes when someone is saying something that they would want that thing to be in the school or in are equipment.

She is trustworthy because when she takes me and my brother to school my mom and dad trust her to drive safely. That’s why I think my sister is a good leader.

I would choose my best friend Sonny Because he is caring, honest, and creative. I can tell he is caring because he has a lot of animals and when one gets hurt no matter what he goes to the vet with them. He is honest because when he knows he is in trouble i say lie about it but he always says no. He is creative because when we play minecraft hes like “ok who can build a house better” and he comes up with the coolest ideas and almost always wins. Now you know why I would choose sonny.

People who I respect are my parents because they comfort me when i'm felling down. Also, they pay for trips and a roof over my head. When they say no there a lot of the time right. Especially after the fire they tried to make things as normal as possible like they took us to places we like to eat places we liked to go. Next, I think my mom would be a good leader because she's the Chair of the board at PCMS. Also, my mom is the president at my brothers elementary school. l I think my dad could also be a good leader because when my dad was in the military, he was the leader of his unit. Another reason my dad would be a good leader because he helps others with building their confidence to do the best they can.

Who would I choose to be president?
I would choose my older sister Megumi because of the love she gives to me and other people. She proves she loves us by being smart,respectful,responsible,and trustworthy.

She is trustworthy because I trust her with my stuff and she gives it back, it's in good condition, and sometimes looks even better! My sister is smart because she knows about the problem and how to fix it, has straight A’s, and tries to help the problem. She is respectful because she is trying to help the Earth, loves me and others, helps my parents (sometimes), and I look up to her!
(P.S her art went up to the front of the chico courtroom or something)

I love my sister even though we fight and argue but I think she could be a good president/leader!

I think that Jayden Bunch would be a good president or class representative. He would be good at any of these because he was a president at our old school and had to have a lot of courage to stand up in front of two hundred or more people and start a play for our school with people videoing him for the news. He also showed that he was very honest. He showed he was honest by telling our student council everything we needed to improve on and things we did well on. He also talked about things that need to change and telling us just to help our school the best as possible. Another reason Jayden should be president is that he is loyal. He is loyal by being able to come to school early everyday so that he could get stuff ready for meetings and assemblies that our school had. He also shows loyalty by being a good friend to me and he's friends.Jayden is courageous,honest and loyal and that is why I believe he would make a good president.

I would vote for my cousin Nyah to be president. Her virtues are trustworthy, self-discipline, and confidence.

Nyah is trustworthy because you can always count on her to keep promises. She also is trustworthy because she almost never lies. For example when I was playing cops and robbers with her she didn’t lie and kept her promise that she would meet me at our grandma’s playground since we were both the robbers and our relatives were the cops.

Nyah is self-discipline because she knows when to stop playing and she always knows what to do. Nyah once was playing hide in seek tag and her mom told her to do something so she stop playing did what she was told and then after continued playing.

Nyah is confident because she never gives up. She's not sure about running for vice president, but she's confident she can do it. Also Nyah was playing tag and she really confident she could outrun the tagger to let us have an opening to get to base.
