It seems that all the kids here, whether they are Chinese, American, Asian American, or African American, enjoy writing the Chinese character "dragon" the most. They all seem to believe in the legacy or myth. The kids even want "dragons" to be written and painted on their shirts. There are many ways to write dragons in different calligraphy styles throughout the Chinese dynasties. Different Chinese calligraphy styles of Dragons
The above styles of "dragons" were derived from the following Seal Styles, the early Chinese characters:

A student from India writing "dragon" with a Chinese brush the first time in his life.
