Solution
If ‘Time’ Was My Friend
If ‘Time’ was my friend, I would spend every moment learning, exploring, and making memories. I would ask Time to take me back to the past so I could see how people lived long ago. Imagine visiting ancient civilizations, meeting famous kings, and watching how great inventions were made!
I would also ask Time to take me to the future. I’d explore how the world will change, see flying cars, and meet people from another time. If I made mistakes, Time could help me go back and fix them.
With Time as my friend, I’d never waste a moment. I’d use every second to learn new things, help others, and create wonderful stories to share. Time would remind me that every moment is precious and that I should enjoy life fully!

We sang our school fight song dozens of times – en route to Arlington National cemetery, and even on an afternoon cruise down the Potomac River. We visited the Lincoln Memorial twice, once in day – light, the second time at dusk. My classmates and I fell silent as we walked in the shadows of those 36 marble columns, one for every state in the Union that Lincoln laboured to preserve. I stood next to Frank at the base of the 19 foot seated statue. Spotlights made the white Georgian marble seem to glow. Together we read famous words from Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg remembering the most bloody battle in the war between the status : “………….we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom………..”
As Frank motioned me into place to take my picture, I took one last look at Lincoln’s face. He seemed alive and so terribly sad.
The next morning I understand a little better why he wasn’t smiling. “Clifton,” a chaperone said, “could I see you for a moment?”
