In the End I Stand

Looking back from the past ,The idea of participating in an AP class was way over my head if you ask me. I wasn't ready to accept the challenge of being mentally challenged. Not only the fact that its AP but, the fact that its AP English  and my history of writing and speaking has not been the best i would say. Although, I have been scared in the past, motivation from my peers ,specifically my cousin Aaliyah Jackson has play a big part in helping me overcome my fears.Taking this class has being a wonderful experience and it has taught me not only how to write a well organized essay but, It helped me realized how much I'm capable of accomplishing if i stand up to the task and take it hands on. I'm excited about going to college and taking an English course now because, even though all the other kids may have been taught well in high school However, they didn't have a Keena Day their aka Kobe . Reflecting on this class makes me think about the blood sweat and tears i almost had completing most of the assignments that were presented to me. In the end I realized all of that paid off because, now that I Have been stung by the bee I can go out and find my own honey. Later when i look back on this class the best thing about this class I can say is not when i made my first 7 on an essay or I got the first homework pass, it would be that I overcame the obstacle of being scared of greatness educational wise. Don't change a thing about the way you teach Ms.Day your doing everything right and thanks for the motivation and not giving up on me.


P.S. We need trees for Oxygen lol :)

North Korea is More Than Just a Nuclear Threat





 Id like to bring this to everyone attention because this effects everyone in Amercia. North Korea's threaten to set of a nuclear bomb within amercia if you we do not comply with their wish of staying out of their with with the beefing going on that they have with South Korea. I think this is a matter that should be taken very serious and address with the up most concern by the President Barack Obama. This matter in hand can change the way things are in look for the rest of lives. North Korea’s nuclear test last week indicates that Kim Jung-UN is following his father’s preferred path of ‘diplomacy’: launch nukes when the U.S. is focused elsewhere, elicit international condemnation, and then use those public shames as grounds to argue that the imperialist West is hostile towards North Korea. ‘Obviously,’ the country must therefore continue to develop nukes as a defensive weapon. What is even more dangerous than North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons for its personal use is North Korea’s nuke sales to other states. Given that they’ve sold advanced missiles to Tehran in the past, and with rumors that Ahmadinejad approved to send Pyongyang 10 million USD in exchange for Iranian scientists to view last week’s nuclear test, such fears of North Korea profiting off of its nukes are not unsubstantiated. So how should the U.S. and other states respond to North Korea?

The second inauguration

 The Second inauguration are never as hopeful as first ones, Obama's second may not be quite like his first inauguration, yet an crowd of over a million turned out to witness him take the oath for a second time as US President.The huge crowd that crossed a million mark took many organisers by surprise, and is indicative that Obama still enjoys much of the popularity he had at the beginning of his first term. Watching the second inauguration of President Obama a week ago, I was shocked by the weight of our history in that moment. Our first African-American president, affirmed by a majority of voters, was given the opportunity to continue his work: He was judged, on the birthdate of Martin Luther King, Jr., on his abilities, and on the content of his character. Also, on How far we have come as a nation and a our culture. It reminded me of how long it took us all to get this far, to inhance our thinking and feelings about other people.    The first inauguration was so historic, with so much pageantry and so many people with so much hope. This is because the idea was that Bush's wars would end and the economy would boom, as it always seems to do under Democrats.

MCS

MCS have push the last button of many people including me because they should know that people go to work early in the moring and we shouldn't have to come to school period if theirs a alert of a storm in the area, instead we get up and mom have to drive on the slick roads and warm the car up using unnecessary gas. They tell you three hours after the fact that your in school what time you are going to get out and that is just wrong, we shouldn't have to come at all. This also puts people in danger because people live very far from the school For example, people who go in memphis city schools that live in olive branch they have to come all the way out here to get there children which takes money for gas and energy from thier body to get back up .

WWI

This is what of think of WWi , i think it was uneccesary and was foolish because wat was basically happeing was that governments were romanticizing the war. Getting young men to join the fight by promoting the uniforms and the idea that women love soldiers. After they joined the real war and saw how brutal it was, they felt lied to and betrayed. World War 1 was fought for a  bad reasons, this added to the hatred of the war. I like Ernest Hemingway's descriptions on WW1 the best. He served in Italy, he was an American who joined the Italians to fight the Austrians. At that time America wasn't involved in the war yet. if you really want to see more view points in good ones about the war i recommend you read the short story  A Soldier's Home by Hemingway. It's a very brilliant short story and it can explian how redicilous th war was. i aslo feel that that there is no winner in a war and that anyone who tells you it's a wonderful or beautiful thing is a liar.

Romneys hates losing...............

 

I jus wanted to pull out somethings that was said about Obama and just the election in genre because its so irrelevant what was said by Romney............. Mitt Romney told donors Barack Obama outmatched him by offering "gifts" to African Americans, Hispanics and young voters, according to various news outlets.In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups," Romney said, according to The New York Times.
The 2012 Republican nominee, who lost to Obama by 126 electoral votes, said the president courted voters by offering policies–some of them this election year–that appealed to key constituencies in the Democratic base. "With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift," Romney said. "Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women," he continued. "And then, finally, The president's health care reform plan, he added, also turned out support from African Americans and Hispanic voters. A spokesperson for Romney, who has stayed away from the public spotlight since losing the election last week, did not return a request for comment about the statements. He said he was sorry and disappointed that he lost but added his team had put everything it could into the election. Romney told the donors he wanted to stay involved in public policy in some form but did not provide any details. In the presidential race, Obama won 93% of African American vote, 71% of the Latino vote and 60% of those between the ages of 18 and 29. Romney, meanwhile, took 59% of the white voting bloc, according to CNN exit polls.
