Election


Who would I vote for? The answer to this question is Barack Obama. Now you're probably asking yourself why. The answer to that question would be because he believes that everybody should have the opportunity to have a job that will pay a living wage, that nobody should get bankrupted when they get sick, and that everybody should have access to decent health care. He also believes that any child should be able to go to college even if they don't have enough money and the things that he has listed I agree with. Please watch this video.

Barack Obama signed as a community organizer for local churches after college and he was organizing at the time when everything was collapsing because of plant closures. I think this shows that if he becomes president that he will help many communities because he has had experience. Barack Obama also believes that any student should be able to go to college and university if they have the grades and that it shouldn't be so much money for college and etc. This is very good news for me or to any other student because I might go to college and I really need the money for the college just like many other students.

Many politics talk so much about politics that teenagers like me get bored. Yes, it might sound very offensive, but it's true. Everybody has their fun side, but they don't show it and I believe that they could have fun without being disrespectful. Barack Obama is like this, he showed his fun side without disrespect. Check this video out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWpvkLCvu4 After he had fun with Ellen he answered a question which showed that he could be fun and make things easier for a teenager like me to understand when he talks about politics with no problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-nrjvsETQU&NR=1

Blurb



This is my dad, Alfredo Sanchez, when he barely came to the United States from Michoacan, Mexico. In this picture he was around his 20s and in his first days of working as a cook in the restaurant Los Panchos. This picture shows how my dad is overjoyed because he is working to support my family and I.

What do I think about this painting?


I believe this painting was painted by Nikolaos Gyzis and to me this painting symbolizes hope because the girl seems to have teary eyes and she is looking up as if she was asking for hope. It also looks like the girl is waiting for something and is very nervous because it looks like she's playing with her hair. The shadowing and the painting in general, reminded me of someone outside the class of detention. When I googled old Greek pictures this painting got my attention because of its shadowing, her face shape, her eye catching dress, and the way she is playing with her hair like if she was in some kind of trouble. Her book and her dress remind me of a catholic school because they kind of dress like her and the book because it's a school.

Code


1.) How accurate were your predictions?
My predictions were pretty accurate.

2.) Which predictions were very accurate? Describe.
The predictions that were very accurate were when I said that the story was going to take place in the old times in other words around the 1960s, the genre was going to be non-fiction, I was going to enjoy this story and it was going to be very interesting.

3.) Which predictions were less accurate? What were the differences between what you predicted and what actually happened?
The predictions that were less accurate were when I said that the story was probably going to start by telling the main character's story and then the present and the other less accurate prediction was when I thought that the book was going to be difficult because of the vocabulary and hard on understanding the story. The differences were that the story didn't start by telling her story,the story wasn't hard to understand and the vocabulary wasn't hard either.

This Weekend

YES!!!!! The weekend!!! Who doesn't enjoy the sweetness of Saturday and Sunday? I know that I enjoy every exiting moment. I want to go to eat pizza at some pizza place for example Petter Pipper Pizza,but I'm not sure yet. I know that I might not be able to go so i should just let it go. I don't want to stay home alone and really bored with nothing to do so I will do my homework and then probably play pillow fight with my little bitter brother.

Now it's Saturday and I just finished putting my last puzzle piece on a puzzle which I was going crazy for. I'm still doing my blog because I have nothing else to do this boring weekend,well so far boringly boring weekend because I can't predict the future. I'm back trying to finish and finishing my blog while eating and wondering if I am ever going to finish my blog on time. Well there's nothing interesting happening so I guess I'm going to make this my blog assignment and now I'm wishing I was at school actually doing something.
