Writing Contest

I had a writing contest for my Grade 7 students. The prompt: If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go? Why?

The first entry is the winner and the second winner is one I found entertaining. I'm typing them exactly as I received them to share with you all:

Israel

I would like to go to Israel.

Since I was born before coming to school I had a biblical knowledge which I got it from the church. There is more that fifty thousands cities and towns around the globe, different countrie with their own political arena, different geographycal shapes with different people.

I can start by qhoting people like Moses, Jesus Christ, King Herodo. They were staying there. Their graves are still there and possible their statues. I would like also to witness those graves and their emigration place. My Gospel singers are continuously singing about Jerusalem. Every chapter of the bible speaks of Jerusalem. I would like to see this historical town. Moutains like Mount Sinai, Mount Herob, places where Moses once passed are there, I would like to see them. The fight between Goliath and David took place there, I would like to see the spot (scene). The graveyard of King Solomon and his 300 wives, King Soul, all these need to be witnessed.

In country with 90% of it being a desert, with large camels in there. I would like to see there. I am strongly sure all Christians who once visited there feel blessed as many people thought that Isreal is in heaven. If I can be given an opportunity to get there, really I will be happy to the fullest.


Hollywood

I would like to go to hollywood because it is the most wounderful place that i had ever seen in my life and is the most dream place i dreamed of. I want to go to hollywood cause there are so many celebrities that most of them are my stars. I like to go there cause i feel like hollywood has got enough money, enough jobs for our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. When I'm there i go to school and I finish school i will look for a job.

The job i would like to do in hollywood is to be an a actor and I want to marry a black american women and have only two children. I need to go to hollywood because maybe one day I could be come a celebrity and maybe people that know me will say he was poor and now he is rich.
