Does Katy Perry's song Firework apply to you? If there were no limits and you could accomplish anything, what would you do?
The latest song we are singing as part of Reading Workshop to help build fluency and vocabulary has a terrific message.
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will GLOW
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
What about it Reading Workshop students? If you could accomplish anything, what would it be? Ditch the limits. Don't let anything stop you, because you can do anything if you set a goal and work hard.

When I'm 20 years old I want to make a change to my life. When most people are 20 and they graduate they move but you got to have plans for life in my opinion.
I already kinda know what i want to do when I grow up I want to work in an office because I love all that stuff. the other day I was talking to my older brother and he was talking about what he wanted to do after he graduates and moves out.
Well he asked me what I wanted to do and I said stuff that includes offices and paper and writing and he said wow it's like you know what you want to do when you grow up.
I made a difference in what my older brother wanted to do with his life it wasn't exactly what I wanted to do but it made him make up his mind. Logan wants to be in something like my dad's bosses job.
Which is taking care of all the paper work and the calls for the job sites and were the go and renting hotels and making the checks. Now I can look back say I changed my brothers life.
If I could do anything I would have to finish school and don't fall back. Thats what I what to accomplish in my life.
I what to finish school because I what to get good so I wont be in trouble all the time. But thats not the main reason why I what to finish school. I want to have a good education and go to college to be what I want to be. Thats what I want to accomplish in my life.
If I could change one thing in my life that would have to be forgiven for all of the stupid things that I have done. This would have to be the number one thing that I would want to be changed in my life. Because I have done some stuff that a twelve year old shouldn't be doing because he was stupid. I have done some of those things when I know I shouldn't be.
I wish so much I could start my life over and change it completely. Like two years ago I caused my mom and dad to almost get divorce because I did something stupid that I shouldn't have done. I have also caused tons of fights between mom and dad and other people. So this is what I would like to have changed in my life.
If there was anything I could do in life without anyone trying to stop me I would make my dream come true, to be a singer.
This has been a dream for me for four years. It's meant to come true. I have even started singing in karaoke contest in the Pumpkin show,and placed eighth out of the top ten. I was so happy when I got the news and I'm going to do it again,but better.
There's the people who have no faith in me but then there's the ones who encourage myself to follow my dream and make it come true. The ones who encourage me, and myself are the most important people to me.
Just because I don't talk very loud doesn't mean anything. Wait until you actually hear me and then tell me that you still don't believe in me. And if you still don't, well that's your opinion not mine. I still have the ones who encourage me.
If I could do anything in the world I would have a couple of things that I would do.
I would join the NBA and play for the Boston Celtics and lead them to the NBA Championship because the Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA at least thats what I think. I would play with Rajon Rondo and Michael Jordan because I think Rajon Rondo and Michael Jordan are amazing.
I would get a free basketball scholarship to Ohio State because I love basketball and that would be amazing or get a free scholarship to Harvard I would do that because I would have a great education and get a really good job.
If someone were to remember me in some special way, when I grow up, I would like to be remembered as the girl at Logan Elm that was All Ohio softball player in softball. I want to be known as the best shortstop that hit Logan Elm. I want to make varsity in softball as a freshmen. I want to be the leader of my softball team, who lead this team to be district champions.
Softball is my life. I've played softball since I was a little girl. My sister, Rebekha, is left handed and she made All Ohio as a senior. She made varsity her freshmen year. She lead her team to be district champions as a senior. Everyone knows Rebekha at Logan Elm. That's how I want it to be for me. She is my remodel in softball. I have the same goals as her, even bigger ones.
I want to be the best shortstop at Logan Elm. I want to be even better than Rebekha. I really do think that I can accomplish these goals. It might take hard work and frustration but I'll be on top. Once I'm done with high school I would like to get a full ride to a college.
If I were to accomplish anything it would be to stop animal abuse.
Every day animals are getting abused and neglected. Because of this some animals can't survive and die. You can't imagine how many animals get abused and abandoned every day.
When I grow up I plan on saving as many animals lives that I can even if it means even if it means breaking into peoples houses and and taking their pets. Animals don't deserve to be abused and I plan to put a stop to it.
Animals have feelings too just like people. Animals have the right to be treated like they're living things.
Some people use their pets for fights which is not right. Some animals get hurt really bad in fights and even die!
It makes me so mad and sad on how people treat animals so please don't be one of those people who abuse and neglect their pets. Remember animals have feelings too.
If there were no limits and I could accomplish any thing I would be a famous singer. The reason why I want to be a singer is because I love to sing and it would just be a dream come true to be a famous singer. Singing this song and all of the other songs we sing will really help me when I get older.
Also I want to be a famous singer because I think it would be cool to be known all around the world. I would be rich and I could give some of my money to help out the poor and the orphans. Another thing I will do with all of the money I want to be able to help my family.
If I can accomplish any thing it would probably be a horse racer. Ever scene my dad got me my first horse I wanted to be one and I do think I can accomplish this.
The reason I think I can accomplish this is because when I was in 4-H I got 1st place in barrels and 2nd in poles with my horse Scout.
I hope I do accomplish this. If I never quit trying.
If I could do anything in the world I would have a couple of thing that I would do.
One of the things would be growing up and becoming a professional baseball player.Because I want to fallow my dads foot steps but he didn't get to be a professional base ball player Because he quit.
If I were to accomplish anything it would be to stop cancer.
It has taken the lives of many loved ones. Last years Relay For Life was a great experience. Walking many laps knowing your helping many people. Last year our school of Laurelville Elementary raised 2500 to 4999 dollars for the American Cancer Society. Laurelville won a silver metal award for raising that much money for cancer.
My dad and my grandma had cancer. Only one survived. I never even got to see her she died when my mom was 16.
I used to know a little 3 year old boy named Tatum, he had cancer. He had many different tumours in his little body. Unfortunately he fought it for a long time, then just gave out. It was a tragic moment for many people.
When I am older I want to be known as the greatest sports Broadcaster ever! I think it would be a very good a challenge thing to do but I could manage with it. Listening to some of the people on tv makes me want to have that job.
It would be a great job and being known for that would change the rest of my life and when people would look back they would be like hey do you remember that Broadcaster that would not stop talking about LeBron James, and was so mad the he went to mami?
In 10 years I want people to know me as an really athletic person. Hopefully I will get an scholarship for football. I want to go to Ohio state. This is a really big thing I want to accomplish in life!

If I were to accomplish anything it would I would choose to be a animal rescuer.
I want to accomplish being a animal rescuer because there are so many animals that are neglected and have diseases. They just need help.
One time I was taking a walk and I was walking past a house I seen this dog in a cage. You could see its bones. The dog had scratches all over its body. It was making like a whining noise. It keep on doing it. It looked like it has been neglected. I felt so sorry for it.
This is why I want to be an animal rescuer. You may not know this but a lot of animals out there are abused and neglected. Some even have diseases, and they can't get help.
If I would do anything it would be going to college. I always wanted to be a scientist. The only way I could be a scientist is go to college.
The college I want to go to is Ohio State University. I will be a lot smarter during college. I would be a astronomer and on the side I would be a storm chaser.

If I were to accomplish anything it would be stop animal abuse. Everyday hundreds of animal's are getting abused and when I grow up I want to stop that.
Some animals don't even survive, people just leave them to suffer. Then other people, if they don't want their pets the just abandon them on the side of the road instead of taking it to an animal shelter.People think it's okay to abuse animals, but it's not. Animals have feelings too.
I want to be a video game designer when I grow up.
I want to be a Video Game Designer because I play video games a lot and I already have some ideas made up in my head. My first type of video game I would make is like first person shooter games like Call Of Duty.
I would make sure it had Nazi Zombies where you don't have to beat the campaign Like Call Of Duty Black Ops. Call of Duty World At War if you don't have play station network or Xbox Live you have to beat the campaign.

That one thing that would make me feel successful in life would be to become a Doctor. The reason I would like to become a Doctor in the future is because my mom has had repeated surgeries and I think about all the people who need surgeries and need them right away but no doctors to give them their needs.
Also the people who never even go to the hospital because they don't have enough money to afford it so I would make it so money or no money they could get better. I'm not exactly sure how yet but if becoming a doctor ever happens I will figure it out.
This may sound strange to most people but it is very special to me. If I could be anything, I would be a roller coaster designer. One that everyone knows about.
