The job I would pick would be a police offficer because they get to help try to stop crime and eat a lot of doughnuts.They help to stop peole from stealing things, they help stop drug usage and they help put some order in our lives that way if we do something wrong we know what we are doing wrong.Police officers are helping America more than we know about.

One job that is important is a firefighter. Firefighters are important because they stop fires. If someone is stuck inside a burning building, they go rescue them. Also they check your fire alarms. Firefighters are the cities heroes.

One job that is important to the community is a police officer.A police officer is important to the community because there are so many bad people in todays world. Without police officers there would be nothing in this world but craziness. So I give my support to the police officers of todays world.

Firefighters are important to the community because they help put out all the fires. If there weren't any firefighters there wouldn't be anyone to help people in burning buildings. People have to be trained to put out fires and if there weren't any firefighters no one would want to go in and help because they aren't trained to know how to put out big fires. That's why firefighters are important to the community.

My cat LuLu just typed three questions on the computer. They are:
1) Where are we?
2) Who am I?
3) How did I end up in this... big box?

I would respond by saying the fllowing:
1) We are in Joliet, IL, which is filled with humans like me.
2) Your name is LuLu, and you are an animal called a cat or feline.
3) You ended up in a thing called a house (it is not a big box...) and my family and I brought you here.

The most important job to me is a fire fighter. Because if there is a fire know one is there to help you out the fire or to save anyone that is left in the fire.There can be over a thousand fire in the world if no one is there to help.

If I had a cat that was typing on the computer and asked me 3 questions I think it would probably ask me..."Jamie why do you always bother me when I'm sleeping?" Another question she would ask me would be "Jamie why do you guys always pet me so hard?" and lastly she would ask me "Jamie why is my name Mamma?" And i would answer these questions very carefully.

I beleive that a fireman is very important to the community because of responsilbilities. Being a fireman comes comes with great responsibilty. Each day is diffuicult because you never know exactly what will happen to you. There could be a warehouse fire or you could have no fires at all but each fire you must put someone elses life before yours. This is why I beleive you must have be extrememly brave to be a firefighter.
