Vassell, Age 7
Meadowbrook Preparatory School
Kingston, Jamaica

Jamaica is a warm country with lots of beautiful, exotic plants and unique animals. The Hummingbird is our national bird. One of the most beautiful places in my city is the Emancipation Park in Kingston. The scenery there is wonderful and I enjoy looking at the waterfall. On a recent school field trip to the Bob Marley Museum, I learned about Bob Marley's great contribution to the Jamaican culture and his influence on reggae music. If I could help my country, I would change the increasing poverty rate so there would be less children and adults living on the streets. If I could travel to one country for a week, I would go to England and visit Buckingham Palace to shake hands with the queen. I would also like to meet David Beckham, England's famous football player, as I like to play football after school.
