I have a dream that one day everyone will live in peace. That
no one will be left out of games because of their skin color,
but because of their ability of the game. Everyone should have
the same rights. That's my dream.

I have a dream that people will not do drugs or anything that

I have a dream that people will not hurt or kill other people
because they feel like it or just for fun.

So don't be afraid to dream.

Andrew's thoughts
I have a dream that people shall live in peace. And not only
the bad people could change but the good people could become better
of friends. That all people will become citizens , and homelessness
will come to an end. But when you go to vote you will be able
to vote even if you are poor or homeless.

Caitlin and Stephanie reply to Sara in Jerusalem...
Dear Sara,
Hello. My name is Caitlin . I am 11 years old. I liked
your poem a lot. It was very inspiring. Here is mine:
I have a Dream
I have a dream that one day all wars of hatred will come to
an end.
I have a dream that one day we will all realize that in God's
eyes we are all the same. If you would imagine that God was color
blind, and that he loves us all the same.
Dear Sara,
Hello!! My name is Stephanie . I am 11 years old. I read
your poem and I thought it was great. It was very good and I know
that you must have put a lot of thought in to it. Gotta go.

Dear Jared,
Hi! My name is Ebony. I'm 12 years old. When
I read your speech about "I have a Dream" it really
broke my heart when you said that you wanted to see your dad.
My mom has not seen her dad for 40 years because he left my grandmom
when he heard that she was pregnant. I haven't seen him either
and I was feeling so sad because of this. I just wanted to say
that you aren't alone.
Before Christmas some kids were drinking and driving and they
got into a accident ( there were 4 kids in the car ) and one of
the boys was drinking and driving and he was killed and so was
his girlfriend and there was one that was ok and the other one
is in the hospital and she doesn't even know who she is. I will
tell you how it happened later but I have to go .
Bye
Your Friend,
Ebony
Dear Amber Mayberry,

will come true too .

DEAR Seth,
Your "I have a dream" poem is cool. In my social
studies class I wrote a "I have a dream" poem also.
I think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who knew what to
say. I am really glad I didn't live back then. I am glad they
made peace. In social studies we watched a movie on him.
DYLAN
Jared Johnson,
I agree with the same things that you said in your poem. I
had a dream that crime will be no more. I also had a dream that
people will not insult each other. I also had a dream that religious
people will not brag.
YOUR PEN PAL,
DANIELLE
Dear Amber,
I like your dreams and think you should go for them. Here are
my dreams:
I have a dream that peace would rule the world, and no more lives
would be torn apart.
I have a dream that wars would never start.
I have a dream that everyone would have a friend, and right would
always win.
I have a dream that love would never end.
Love,
your friend,
Alison
Dear Wendy,
I like your dream. I wrote one too. I wrote a poem about I have
a dream. My dream was about stopping the violence and we all become
friends. I really like your poem. I think it is very nice. I like
the part when it says that the world will make peace and where
will be no more drugs and no more gangs in the world. I agree
with everything you say.
I have almost the same thing you have.
P.S. write back soon!!!!!!!!!
