The Bermuda which I want to live has no gangs. People can get along with each other.

There would also be no cigarettes and other things like that. I want the stealing and fighting to stop. I don't want everything perfect but better than it is when tourists come they won't get robbed or anything. They can have a nice time and they in turn can tell their friends what a nice time they had.

I watch the news and I hear about things, some good and some bad. I hear people getting beat up and robbed. People are dying because of some foolish reasons like driving drunk or "charged'' with some people selling drugs; I wish that would all stop.

Some good things do happen, like the talented people in Bermuda, and people trying to do the right thing. I want to get my education and become an artist or architect. I am going to strive towards my excellent goals. If I do become what I want to be I will try to help someone else get a job, as some are not as fortunate as me.

I want to help Bermuda by trying to do what I can, by staying in school. I want to make my father proud as well as all of my family and friends. Most of all, I hope to make my mother proud. I hope that it does not get worse because then it would be harder for us -- societies influence will be harder on kids because they will be doing drugs, drinking or stealing. I just hope it gets better and not worse.
