A Recipe for a Great Community
by Brianna A. and Julie

The role Brianna has chosen is that of a student. She has chosen that because she wants to learn all that she can. This way she can be a better person. This is valuable because if she has more knowledge she can help to make better choices for her community.

The role Julie has chosen is that of mother and good citizen. This is valuable because mothers are good caretakers and every community needs someone to look after them.

A recipe for a great community:

1. good, honest citizens
2. community workers: doctors, dentists, police officers, teachers, and firefighters
3. buildings and houses
4. laws
5. trees, flowers, and grass
6. churches
7. schools and playgrounds
8. restaurants

A Healthy Recipe
by Amanda M.

I choose a doctor's assistant because I like it and I enjoy helping people feel better. The community always needs doctors to help people feel healthy. The doctor's assistant needs to help the doctors help the people. If the people are not healthy, there may not be a community.

1. All healthy people
2. People who have faith in each other
3. Trust
