Senator Letter #25

Dear Senator:

I'm Clarisa Gomez. I am a student at Frank Borman
Middle School. I am 13yrs old. Well I am writing this letter to let
You know that we as teens and kids want to work!!!! We have a lot of
problems at home. We have a lot of free time. We are all going to
school and this will definitely help us to be more independent. This
will bring us more together in a way. Most of my family needs help to
pay bills and all of that stuff.

Most of us kids want to help out and we want things to stay the same.
We don't want to move or to change schools just because our parents
can't give us what we want, pay bills, and feed us. I think we
definitely need to stick together. That is so sad when you or a
friend's family don't have money to eat. You can resist a couple of
hours with out eating but, when you're little brothers or sisters
needs food that’ when kids/teens wish they could work. This is a scary
situation.

I want you to help us to let teens work. I know that
this is a lot I'm asking for. I just want you to help us because its a
lot of money we need. I wouldn't be asking you for this if it wasn't a
big deal. Yet it is. Don't hide away from a truth a person like me
asking you for a big favor. Just pretend you are in our place and
you'll feel pretty cruel.

This will work because most of kids have a way to convenience their
parents into getting what they need. I know this is going to be hard
because it won't be easy to convince their parents. At first I think
parents will be scared to let their kids got to work because of
school and their social friends and all that. They will also be happy
that their kids are learning to be more mature. More adult like. This
should be maybe easy but, we have to be prepared to what ever people
may ask. It our voice to so it may be good to hear it.

Well that is all I have to say. Thank you for taking the time
necessary to read my letter. I would like to say thank you. I think it
is nice of you to have read my letter you are a good person. Even
thought I think it won't be pass as a law I will never give up!!!

Sincerely:




Clarisa Gomez
