Paige handed me a paper she wrote in school recently. Her instructions were to tell how she would spend $54,000 in prize money she was given if she had won the Nobel Peace Prize as Martin Luther King, Jr. did in 1964. MLK, Jr. donated his money to the civil rights movement.
Here is Paige's paper in her own words and her own spelling:
I would donate $45,000 dollars to a nursing home. Because my Papa was in the Nursing home. I would donate the money so that they can make medicine for people who have had Alstimers for a long time. I hope that they do make that kind of Medicine.
I would also donate $5,000 dollars to charity so they can get more food and clothing for the poor people and get them familys and so they can live Better.
I would also donate $5,000 dollars to people with cancer so that they can make medicine for these people.
