Election

On the day of the election I was shocked. I didn't watch it but I would look up the stats every 30 minutes. Every time I would look up the stats Trump would be ahead. I thought Clinton was going to make a comeback but then at the end, the results were that Trump won. It didn't feel right. It didn't feel right because why would anyone want Trump to be our president. He sees differences in people who are in this country. It shouldn't be that way because at the end we are all humans together and more importantly we are humans that work together to keep this country who it is today. He tries to separate from what he thinks are wrong people to people that deserve to be in this country in his mind. To him only white people are the only good people and the only people that deserve to live and be in this country. Mexicans have done a lot to keep this country together. They grow plants, fruits and vegetables. They do this because no one else wants to do that kind of work. Espically whites. He says all Mexicans and blacks are all stealers, killers, and bad people. In his mind white people never do harm or crimes. He tries to separates blacks from whites, Mexicans from whites and even muslims from whites. This is one reason why I think he didn't deserve to win the election.

     My next reason why I think Donald Trump shouldn't have won was because he thinks different about women. He thinks that women don't help our community or our world. Women affect a lot of stuff that happens in this world but in a good way. He thinks just because they're women, they can't do what men can do. He thinks that women are just here to be used. He doesn't think big about women. He is a sexist. He can't or shouldn't be sexist if he's going to be president of this country because there isn't only just men in the United States. There are women too. Women are a big deal in this society. He just doesn't get that through his head.

      My last reason why I think he shouldn't have been president is because he only cares about himself. He's really selfish. He thinks he's the best just because how much money he has. He doesn't
care about anybody's feelings when he is supposed to since he's the president of the United States. As president of the United States you are supposed to try to make this country better for every single person despite their skin color, nationality, religion, beliefs. Donald Trump only tries to do what's best for people who thinks deserves it.

Gratitude Blog

       I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. I am grateful to be alive. God gave me this opportunity to prove to him that I am worthy to enter his world. Since I am in this world, mind as well make the best of it. In order to do that I will have to do good in school. Thats where my gratitude comes into play. I am grateful for my language arts teacher, Mrs. Larson. Sometimes I'll tell myself that she's over exaggerating and she's mean. But now I realized that she actually does care about my education. She made me care about my education. Every teacher tells me they want to see me succeed but I know that they just say that because thats their job. With Mrs. Larson, she motivated me so much. Not just in school but in life. She made me realize that I can still make a comeback and have the best education I can have. I am grateful, really grateful to have her in my life. I am grateful for her motivation, her inspirational talks and speechs and most importantly, our love hate relationship.
 
    Another person I am grateful for is my mother. This is the most important person and thing in my life. My mom and I have our ups and downs but at the end I know if anything goes wrong where I have no more supporters in life, or friends to be there for me, I know for sure I will have my mother. We have a lot of fights but thats normal for best friends. I will never be embarrassed to show my mom love or appreciatetion because she been doing that for me since I was born. She was the one who feed me and my brothers no mvatter the situation. She buys us clothes and pays bills for me and my brothers so we won't be on streets freezing. She tries her hardest and I truly do appreciate that so much. She did much more for me than just buy me stuff. She showed me manners and respect. My mother raised me to be the most respectful and generous person. I look up to her more than anyone. Whenever I need help in school, I know she didn't finish school and doesn't know a lot about math or anything but I still go to her first because she's my role model. She wants me to do way better than she did and I will because I love her and I know how much I mean to her. I am very grateful to have my mom in my life.
 
  Another person I am grateful to have in my life is Kiana. I just met Kiana a couple of months ago but she made realize that not all of my "friends" are my real friends. She made me realize that these people in my life aren't going to make me succeed in life. She also made me realize that my eduaction is huge. She's literally my best friend. We also get into a lot of fights but I don't care how many fights we get into because I rather fight with her and still have her to have amazing moments with her than loosing her so I won't have to argue. She's also my motivation. I am very grateful to have her because I honestly wouldn't know what I would do without her.

The Closed Railroad

On the 22nd of October, 2016, I saw a big orange sign right next to the train tracks by the rec stating that the railroad is going to be closed for eight days. The railroad will be closed because constructors are fixing. If you saw that sign what would the first thing to come to your mind? For me, I had no clue what so ever. Until the crossing guard told me why they are going to close down the railroad
