TODAY'S TOPIC: Suppose you went to bed one night and woke up the next morning older than you were the night before. What age would you be?
I would want to be 20 because I could work and help my mom with everything. I would also want to do a great job. I think being older means more responsibility. I like being responsible, especially with my things. I would also like to be 20 so I can be free. I like going shopping, so when I'm 20 I may like it more. Also, I could get married at that age.

Elizabeth: You are very smart. Well thought out.
If I were to go to sleep tonight and wake up older in the morning, I would like it to be at age 25. I would start earning my own money. I'll be able to carry my own weight. I'll get my job being a firefighter. Before I go back to my own self, I would like to go to Las Vegas to the casinos to play the slots.
--Juan Olivera, 12
Dyer Elementary
Sylmar
Juan: A firefighter! Good for you! Becareful in Las Vegas!
I would be 18 because I would probably already be in college and start my goal for real. I really want to be an artist and that can actually happen. Another thing I would like to do is have a car so I can experience how it feels to drive one. With that car I would want to go places like Utah, Oregon and Washington. I would take my friends and go to those places. Then I want to get a ticket for an art convention so I may have some ideas of what I may paint when I become an artist.

Ruby: College? Artist? Oregon? Art Convention? You're like the boring lesbian that no guy wants to fuck.
If I was older, I would be 21 years old. I would be in the police academy because I want to protect a part of America. If I didn't make it to the police academy, I would be a soccer player for the Galaxy team. I would play for 5 years, then I would change back to normal.
--Joseph Reyes, 10
Lemay Elementary
Van Nuys
Joseph: I got news for you, you're never going to change back to normal. it's nice you want to protect "a part" of America. Let me guess, just your sisters doll house? You selfish fuck.
I would want to be 21 because I would be able to vote. Also, I would be able to drive. I would be able to have my own apartment. I would have 4 dogs, 2 female Golden Retrievers and 2 male black Labradors. I would have a credit card for shopping! I would have a cell phone. I would have a Gucci purse. I would have a lot of jewelry. I would want to be an actress, singer or model. I would live in Hollywood with the view of the city to see all the night lights glow. So beautiful, so romantic. That would be the best if I can wake up older.

Golan: Your name is Golan. The only thing beautiful and romantic in your future is the extra piece of chicken in your bucket of KFC
If I will be any age I will be sixteen because I want to be a teenager really badly so I could stay up late, do my own hair and I could dress my own self. I want to be responsible and be bigger than my brother. I want to talk to my friends on my cell phone that is going to be in my new room.
--Daisy Navarette, 8
Fernangeles Elementary
Sun Valley
Daisy: you can take your cell phone anywhere. but you might not want to leave it in your room. I've got a feeling a 16 year old girl named Daisy might find herself calling for alot of cabs at 3 am around LA
I would be 18 because I could drive a car. I could also have a job and get money. I could vote. I could see PG-13 movies by myself. I could also go to college and become a model, singer or astronaut.
--Elisa Ibarra, 9
Lemay Elementary
Tarzana
Elisa: You could even see movies rated R! And if you go to college to become a model, singer or astronaut. Guess what? You're never going to become a model, singer or an astronaut.
If I could be any age I want, I would want to be 13 because I could have my own room and have my own responsibility and also because I could not get lost.
--Karen D. Vega, 8
Fernangeles Elementary

Karen: 13? wow, way to reach for the stars. You might not get lost, but apparently your imagination will.
If I fell asleep one day and woke up 36 years later, I could be a police officer. I could stop bad guys. I'll drive a police car. There are a lot of things I could do. Who knows? I could have a different kind of job.
--Abel De los Santos, 9
Lincoln Elementary
Ventura
Abel: You could have a different kind of job? You already have a job? Judging by your last name I guess that makes sense. Oh, ps, not alot of 45 year old mexican cops around. Chase that rainbow mi amigo!
Once I went to sleep when I was nine. When I woke up I was fifteen. It was cool because I went to high school and I had a job at Chuck E. Cheese. I got to see what my future is like. Everything was in the air. That would be my terrific life.
--Olivia Castillo, 9
Haddon Elementary
Pacoima
Olivia: Let me take a look into that future... Chuck E. Cheese at age 15. I've got a feeling you'll be making alot of tips. Most pregnant teens can pull in 20% tips. Oh, and you've got 6 years to learn what "pull out" means sweetie. Good luck
I would like to be 40. I would like to have a car and drive to Denny's.
--Chris Gonzalez, 6

Chris: Olivia meet Chris. Chris meet Olivia.
I would be 80 years old, and the first thing I would do is try running 3 laps around the block so I can experience a workout as an 80-year-old man. After, I will get a half of an orange, put salt on it, and see if old people have most of their taste. Before I go back to my original age, I will test how strong an 80-year-old man is. I'll test myself doing push-ups and curl-ups.

Rafael: You are the only one who took this project seriously. For that I thank you. Why the fuck would they even print your answer, unless they are making fun of you! Insensitive jerks.
