We also talked about what it means to be president, saw the inside of the White House, and talked about the president's roles and responsibilities. Some students thought all the hard work the president had to do didn't outweigh all the cool stuff the president gets to do. Here's what they wrote about it:
"I want to be president because I want to live in the White House." ~Ryan
