The kindergarteners of South East Iowa speak up. The newspaper published the aspirations of Creston children and surrounding communities. Here are the best ones:

• Hunter would like to be a monster truck driver when he grows up.


• Cody would like to be Spiderman when he grows up.


• Cody would like to be a fireman and work with Tom on the garbage truck when he grows up.


• Samson would like to be a ninja and a plumber when he grows up.


• Seth would like to be happy and healthy and wants to be a wrestling coach when he grows up.


• Avery would like to be a superhero when he grows up.


• Dylan would like to be a bowldozier operator when he grows up.


• Benjamin would like to be the owner of a living creature restaurant when he grows up.


• Marshall would like to be a a plain old Marshall when he grows up.


• Jase would like to be a ninja cop when he grows up.


• Conner would like to be a guard or something safe when he grows up.


• Myla would like to be a princess and a bank worker when she grows up.


• Nathaniel would like to be a cop like his Grandpa Ray and a biker like his Grandpa Chuck when he grows up.


• Tiffany would like to be happy when she grows up.


• Samantha would like to be a lion tamer when she grows up.


• Emma would like to be a dentist and a circus actress when she grows up.


• Alexis would like to be a fashion designer in Paris when she grows up.


• Bryce would like to be on the SWAT team when he grows up.


• Zailand would like to be a sumo wrestler when he grows up.


• Brenna would like to be a biker chick when she grows up.

And the two best ones of all:

• Samuel would like to be a ninja and a farmer when he grows up.


• Logan would like to work at Walmart on register 6 when he grows up.

Thanks for your contribution
Some of these are priceless. Logan's aspirations to work on register 6 crack me up. I hope that his dreams grow as he does. If not, let's hope that Walmart can make register 6 available when he applies for a job there.

And to Conner: I hope you can be something safe when you grow up, but crossing guard probably isn't as safe as some other professions.

I wonder if Zailand hopes to move to Japan as a teenager to start Sumo training.

Gotta love these children's aspirations. What did you want to be when you grew up? Do you do that now?
