As a new presidential administration prepares its list of objectives, the first-graders in Carol West’s class at Southside Elementary are identifying goals of their own.
Some will be busy starting their career at Publix, if they can keep their hands off the cookies. Others, meanwhile, will continue their quest to collect every flavor of Tic Tac. And while none of them know what the future holds, we’re pretty sure it won’t include candy falling from the sky (sorry, Noah).
Grace Toale
"I want to get any animals that need rescuing (and give them a home.) Any animals, but my favorite are dogs."
Natalie Litke
I want to go to Canada, because my cousin is there. It probably snows a lot.
Zachary Kurnov
(I want to) go to California. I want to go on the Golden Gate Bridge. My mom said it was cool. I would also see Steph Curry play. I also want to be in the NBA, but (in four years) when I’m 11 I won’t be old enough.
Gracie Bailey
A goal I have is to get my goal on my Fitbit. It’s 7,272 steps a day. Sometimes I have different goals.
Ollie Eppinger
Get every Tic Tac bottle in the world and every Tic Tac. I’ve never tried blueberry. Whenever I get blue it’s always blackberry.
Emily Whitehurst
I want to get a pet. I have two dogs right now, so probably another dog, a fish (I used to have a beta) and a cat.
Zack Harshman
I want to play Pokemon Go! With Noah. He’s my best friend.
Leo Schwimmer
Get a lot of Tic Tacs for Ollie. He needs them to make something. I don’t know what he is making, but I know he wants them.
Noah Rominiecki
I want candy to fall from the sky when it rains.
Merribeth Brown
I want to get my score over 1,000 on my app Slither.io.
Beatrize Deguzman
Help endangered species like tigers, because I like endangered species.
Ethan Gooch
(I want to be) a Publix worker so I can eat all the food and the cookies. I would eat cereal for breakfast, I guess. For lunch I would eat a sandwich. I guess my snacks would be cookies and juice. My dinner would be pasta.
