Which historical character do you like?

The Laguna Coastline Pilot went to Top of the World Elementary School

and asked fifth graders the question, ‘Who has been your favorite

person that you’ve learned about in history and why?’

“Attean, who is a character in a story about Indians, because he

is from a different country and did stuff different than us.”

MCKENZIE WENSMAN, 11

“Hank Aaron, because I like baseball and I’m doing a report on

him.”

JAKE GLAZER, 10

“Martin Luther King Jr., because he made a really big difference

and is really important.”

NIA EVANS, 10

“George Washington Carver. He did a lot for the people.”

HANA LINK, 10

“Harriet Tubman, because she was really good to the slaves and

helped them a lot. She freed a lot of slaves, like 77 slaves.”

ANNE SASSO, 11
