If I were President...

So, my mom found a paper I wrote for school in 1997. The prompt was "If I were President." Here's what I wrote:

If I were President I would be a race car driver. I would go to the track once a month. I would go on 10 foot ramps and then I would eject out before the car crashes. I would hide from the audience and then... poof! I am out. I want to be a race car driver because I think being race car driver is fun. I want to be a president because I will be able to help America.

What I found even more interesting was my brainstorming page. You've all probably done this in elementary school, where you put the main topic in the middle, circle it, and draw lines from the circles where you write down your ideas. I brainstormed three ideas from the prompt "If I were President."

• I would be a pilot because I could do loopy loops
• I would be a astronaut because I could do the moonwalk and jump super high
• I could be a race car driver and really fast

I most definitely was a child prodigy.
