PearlDamour visits schools in all of the Miltons. In Oregon, we have been doing writing and performance workshops with Ms. Baneck’s middle school class based on the play MILTON. Here’s an interview with one of the students in that class –
How old are you?
I am a twelve year old student at Central Middle School in Milton-Freewater.
What is a dream you have for your life?
My biggest dream for my life is to become successful and reach my personal goals.
What’s something new you’d like to try?
One thing I want to do that I have never done is to travel outside my own country, and visit places in the Eastern Hemisphere such as England, France, Italy, and Egypt.
What do you like about your city?
The thing that I am most proud about my city is its heritage. I am glad to live in my town because all of my friends live here and I know that when I leave, they will always be here for me.
What do you want to change about your town?
If I could change one thing about my town, I would make it much larger.
What hopes do you have for your country?
My hope for our country is that it will become more involved in outside affairs. The thing that makes me feel free is to see the hardships of others who aren’t, and that makes me realize just how lucky I am to be free.
