Question Of The Month: Arnold Elementary School

Each month, the Severna Park Voice poses a question to a local fifth-grade class. This month, students from Mrs. Joyce’s class at Arnold Elementary School answered the question:

Imagine you could see into the future. How would you use this special power?

I would use this power to see if something bad was going to happen, like if a bank was going to get robbed. Then I could warn people that this was going to happen.
Aidan A.

If I could see into the future, I would probably look to see which stock in the stock market is going to be the most successful, so that I could invest in that stock and receive a large profit.
Alex P.

I would use this superpower to see the outcome of Earth. If there are any issues like wars, or global warming, I would do what I can to help prevent it.
Andrew N.

I would look at my job, and if I had a low paying job, I could take a different course in college to find a higher paying job. Also, if there was a catastrophic event, I could tell someone or do something to change what that event would bring.
Anthony A.

I would use it to see what we've done and tell people to fix it. It'll help what will happen and it'll be good.
Benjamin J.

I would live in my favorite year for the entirety of my life and have multiple lives in different times and places, which would be cool because if something bad happens in one timeline, you can just switch to another life.
Bode K.

If I could see into the future, I would see what I look like. I would also see what my job is going to be.
Brayden F.

I would use it to see the winning Power Ball numbers so I could become rich and famous. Another reason is that I could see the right answers to tests.
Caleb F.

I would see if robots actually take over the Earth. Also, I could see if I could get a flying car and the new video games that come out.
Charlie M.

I would want to know if I would get in trouble to make the right choice. Also, if I get accepted in a school to be ready to cheer or not.
Chloe T.

If I could see into the future, I would see if I will have a good family and see if I am a good dad. I will only tell my family and use it for good.
Cole L.

If I could see the future, I would only tell my family. I would not want to tell the world because I do not just want to be all over the news being talked about, and I would not use it so I could show off my superpower. I would just use it for fun.
Dashel B.

I would use this power to help wonderful people, because if someone who was wonderful was going to pass away in the future, I could use this power to help them.
Ellie J.

I would use it to see what I look like if I wear different clothes, the job I have, and what I do.
Evie S.

As of right now, I want to see what college I will get into. If I don't get into the school I want, I will try harder when I am young.
Hailey V.

I would look to see if anything bad is going to happen, for example, a meteor hitting Earth. I would then prove to scientists in some way that my powers are legit and warn them if anything bad will happen so they can prepare. I wouldn't use this power to disadvantage anyone. I would definitely use it to help people, though.
Isaac P.

I would use this superpower by seeing what I will look like in the future because I want to look at my future self when I grow up. I also want to see if there are new animals because I am interested in animals.
Jason R.

I would use it to see what I would do later in life, or I could use it to skip that point in time. I would see what I would act like later in life because I might need to change something.
Josephine A.

I would use this power to make sure global warming stops. All of the arctic animals are losing their homes and families.
Lila S.

I want to see what is happening in the future because I want to know what items everyone wants so I can make it before other people do.
Lillian H.

To make sure that I don’t make any mistakes that I would regret later on in life, and also to help me with problems I don’t know the answer to.
Luis L.

I would look into like 1,000 years from now, to see if we finally have flying cars, and really cool other stuff such as levitating buildings.
Matthew J.

I would see what my future looks like to see if I can change what I do now so my future is better than before.
Molly M.

I would be able to see my life in middle school, high school, college and as a grown up. I would see if I could change something so I wouldn't mess it up in the future and maybe choose a better choice than what I did.
Olivia A.

I would see in the future to see what football play they would do so I can read the play and stop them from doing it.
Raleigh E.

If I could see into the future, I would see my death and avoid the cause of my death. I could also see the mistakes that I made.
Trajan M.

First, I would see myself in school to see if I am smart. Second, I would look at math at middle school to see how I can solve it. I would do the same for literacy and science. Third, I would also use this to see if I grow up to be a good person or a bad person.
