Genea’s winning ‘Governor for a Day’ essay

I would like to be governor for a day to help improve the State of Maryland. The governor has a lot of important roles such as being head of the executive branch of the government of Maryland, the commander-in-chief of the state’s National Guard, and is responsible for the state’s budget. The governor serves a four year term and is elected by the people. Some other important things that the governor is involved in are education, the safety of the people, the environment, and jobs.

As the governor I would help improve public schools by making classes smaller. This will help students have more time to learn with their teacher. I would like to add more after school activities and make them free for all students. This will help students improve their learning skills and keep them out of trouble. I would also like to include Spanish classes to elementary schools so that you can start learning another language at a young age.

As the governor I would bring more safety to the people by supporting the police and fire departments. I would also make free training classes for children to learn how to protect themselves from bad people. Another way that I can make Maryland more safe is by making sure kids can’t get a hold of drugs.

As the governor protecting the environment is important to me. I would plant more trees and not let people cut down trees in certain areas. I would also educate people about pollution and recycling and would put more trash and recycling cans around the cities. I would also help people make their homes more energy efficient to save on electric and heating bills.

Another important thing is protecting the Chesapeake Bay from trash and pollution for the fish and crabs.

The last important thing I would like to do is help create jobs and provide job training for people. I would help create jobs by creating work for people to do like fixing roads and buildings. I would provide job training by creating workshops for people to attend to learn new jobs like computer and office training.

Being the Governor of Maryland takes a lot of work and time thinking of ways to improve the state. If I was governor for the day, I would put the people first and think about what is most important to them and make the state of Maryland a better and safer place to live.
