SIXTH GRADE Money is a thing I want and is what I really need Some feel that in order to be happy money is necessary. Even those who get an allowance are not satisfied because there are so many things they want to buy. I get anywhere from two to ten dollars a week depending on the chores I get done. I wish they would give me more but it ' s ok because I save it to buy some- thing special, Lusine Lalabekyan said. I Everyone needs money and sixth graders graduating from elementary school and entering Junior High want more of it, or at least some of it. I don ' t get an allowance but I would like to get at least ten dollars a week so then I could buy clothes I want for me, Sandra Flores said. How much money a student gets depends on their parents. Therefore everyone gets a dif- ferent amount for different rea- sons. I get seven to ten dollars a Abby Aaronson Ali Akbar Poneh Akbari Tracy Alexander Natasha Alford Alon Aloni Fabian Alston Alyson Angotti Gabriel Axarlian Travis Bailey Graham Baily Didi Bei Danielle Bergen Raffi Berko Ty Bickel Rachel Blumenberg Michael Bock Justin Bonney Marlon Brennan Kizzie Bridges Tony Brimer Chereese Brown Kenyetla Brown Ivette Buitrago Christopher Bulpitt Jesse Caid Felicia Cano Joseph Carnes Luis Carrillo Brenda Castrejon Alma Castro Tyla Catena week it depends on the chores I get done. I always save it until I have enough to buy something nice, Heather Medeinos said. I get five to six dollars a week and I ' m very satisfied with how much I get. I usually save it up to buy Nintendo car- tridges, Harry Galstian said. Some students don ' t get an allowance and even though they would like to get some money it doesn ' t affect them. I don ' t get an allowance and I think my parents are abit un- fair, but I ' m doing jus fine without it, Jackie Rosales said. There are some students that are satisfied with how much allowance they get from their parents. They usually spend their money on different things every week. I get twenty dollars a week for allowance from my parents. I spend it on clothes, food, going out, etc, Cindy Lee said. The money makers of tomor- row are the spenders of today. By Heidi Lazo Time to pay -up honey — Michael Bock is happy that his friends are finally paying him all the money they ' ve bor- rowed. Some are willing to share their money with others as long as they are payed back. I ' m in the money — Benjamin Chazen tells his friends that lunch is on him today. Even if it ' s to impress friends or to be nice and treat them to something it takes money. For some this was their first year getting an allowance. 148 Sixth grade Faces

SIXTH GRADE To babysit or be babysat Playing tricks, pulling pranks, and simply giving the babysitter a hard time is always on one ' s mind who gets babysat. And on the other hand, some try to avoid these disasters from happening to themselves. This is the main difference between a sixth grader who gets babysat and one who babysits. There is a fine line between the judgement of babysitting and being babysat and sixth graders often fall on this line. Some people define babysit- ting as eating all their food, calling friends on their phone, and just kick back until their parents come back home. Just looking after the child is not enough when you babysit but taking full responsibility of the child because the child ' s par- ents depend on you. I babysit my cousin every other Saturday because her mother works pretty late, so I have to keep her entertained by taking her to the local park, to some stores, let her watch T.V., things to make her happy. I usu- ally get paid ten dollars every Thomas Evans Angel Figueroa Hilary Filloon Marlon Fisher Francisco Flores Sandra Flores Shana Fuller Zuleyma Galdomez Harry Galstian ; Joanna Ganz Jovita Garay Joseph Gilmore Erik Gonzalez Lucy Gonzalez Elizabeth Gordon Elena Grant Rasheda Green Rajvir Grewal Michelle Griffin Michelle Guadagno Gabriel Guillen Maya Hagege Zuhra Hameed Adrian Hammers Wendy Hermosillo Adolfo Hernandez Cathrine Hudis Kyung Hwang Nicole Jackson Ryan Jesena Anabel Juarez Daniel Juarez time I babysit, said Ayesha Munir. Babysitters often treat you differently from person to per- son. Some may be very strict about the rules, some may be very sensitive and nice, and some just might not care at all about you. My mom and dad work so I get babysitted often. My baby- sitter is very nice because she buys me anything, from food to toys. She even got me a Nin- tendo! See, my babysitter has no kids and so she thinks of me as her own daughter. I still think I ' m old enough to take care of myself though, said Fa- tima Marenco. The way you treat a child when you babysit varies from kid to kid because some are very rambunctious and voluble while some are as quiet as a rock. I babysit my niece and nephew on weekends for about three hours. I love my niece, she is sweet and quiet but my neph- ew is a brat. He gets food from the kitchen and throws it be- hind the couch. He also spreads cereal all over the table for no reason, said Tracy Alexander. By Koty Mukasa Would you rather be babysitting or be babysat and why? I would rather have someone babysit me be- cause the babysitter lets you do anything you want to do, said Alyson An- gotti- I ' d rather babysit be- cause it is a responsibility you take to show that you are mature enough and ready to take the next step in a job that has to do with responsibility, said Eva- lynne Moyo. I think it would be ba- bysat because you get to do anything such as watching the T.V. real late or calling your friends, said Jesus Reyn- oso. 150 Sixth grade Faces
