Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were a president? What could you do for the entire world? I am going to share what I would do if I were president and how I would help the world become a better place.
There are many reasons why I want to become the President someday. I would like to be a leader because people say I am loyal and I tell the truth. I am very helpful to people that need help. I believe I can really help people in the world with things that they need in their life. I just feel like I would be a good president overall.
I hope you’re sitting down, because there is a lot of reasons. Get ready! I would try to end world hunger so people could get food all around the world. I would try to work to help homeless people so they can get camping supplies and food. This would help them stay out of the cold weather or scorching hot weather outside. Many people have gotten hurt in war so I would hope to work and end that for the United States. The law back then said they would be separated from their homes by force. I would encourage people to get jobs in their life and keep going, so they do not become homeless. Lastly, I can help people with any problems in life if they can not succeed.
As President of the United States it is important to create rules so people can stay safe.
Some rules that I would recommend would be that no one could smoke in a store or around kids and other people not in their family. People should not smoke in a house because it will negatively affect their body. My second rule is no large fires in neighborhoods without your neighbors permission. This would prevent others from thinking it is a real fire and call the fire department. My third rule would be that ALL people would have to get along, no matter what color or race and not argue anymore.
