Dear TFK ...
It's pretty awesome that immigrants make up 11.5&37; of the U.S.
population &91;"Coming to America," 1/30&93;. My parents are
immigrants. When they first got here, it was hard for them to
find jobs and to adjust to everything. But there are so many
opportunities here that they were able to make a good life for
us.

I don't think that a country has the right to tell children what
they can and can't wear in school &91;"A Clash over Symbols," 1/30&93;.
That isn't fair. I'm glad people are protesting the proposed law.
People should be able to show what they believe in, as long as it
doesn't negatively affect anyone else.

I agree that kids should get eight hours of sleep &91;"The Benefits
of Sleep," 1/30&93;. I get nine hours every night, and sometimes I'm
still sleepy when I get to school. Hopefully, kids who read the
article will take the scientists' advice and try to get enough
sleep. It can't hurt.

It must take a lot of effort for Bethany Hamilton to surf after
her accident &91;"Surfing Star Rides Again," 1/30&93;! She is a brave
girl and a good role model. She is following her dream, and that
is important.
