The Executive Branch

I would want to be President or Vice President I would want to be President because I would have to be an American(I am) and I would be able to help create laws by Congress be lead by my Cabinet members and be known throughout the United States. I could also approve many laws such as, Students should not have to take the Staar test. Or all bills are now  only 50% off. And many others too. And if not the President, then Vice-President instead. I could help out the President and invite all my friends over to my house in West Wing of The White House. But most importantly I could cast a vote if there is a tie, and it would be an honor to be chosen as Vice President. I would like being any of these people and still be proud!

Colonial Life as a Potter

Ahhhh,another long day at work!Here,where I am a potter,in Jamestown,Virginia,all of my pots require clay.Once I clean the clay, I add sand temper to the now cleaned clay,once it is finished drying,I would have to work out all the tiny air bubbles,trust me, it’s hard work,and it took a long time!Next,I would put the clay on the potter’s wheel,then I would begin the long,hard processes of pumping the foot pedal to make the wheel spin.Next up,to make the inside of whatever I’m making hallow.Soon the pottery would begin to take shape.While all that’s happening,I would make molds,such as, handles,spouts,or buttons.Each piece of pottery had to dry before being put in the fire to bake,but they had to dry slowly,or they would crack.Finally,they where glazed with rad ware. Being a potter is hard work!
