How Would My Life Change if ...
The Herald Bulletin is asking children 12 years and under: How Would My Life Change if I Moved Into the White House?
The newspaper would like to print responses in a future edition.
With a new family moving into the White House in January, The Herald Bulletin would like young writers to put themselves in the shoes of the Obama children, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7.
Writers can consider such topics as: What would I bring with me? How would my own life change? What about my friends?
