Gratitude blog

This blog will present all the things im grateful for. There are so many things things that i'm so thankful for. Such as an education, family, a roof over my head, and items that brings me happiness. I would first like to talk about my education. I am so grateful to learn new things every day. There are so many kids around the world who don't get to go to school. That only makes me feel so lucky to have the education I get.

Now I would like to thank my family for everything. I wouldn’t have an education or a home. Without my parents I wouldn’t even be around today. Also, they gave me a home and allowed me to have a good childhood. In a way, they even allowed me to have friends by going to the schools that I went to. If I never gone to those schools then I would never make the friends that I have now.

Finally the last of example of gratitude is my friends. Without them I would be so lost and alone. They make me laugh and help me get through the day. There are friends that I’ve known since preschool. They still call me by my old nickname (Bobby). Then there are the friends that I’ve known only for a little bit. Just like school i'm always learning something new about them.


I commented on Emilio's blog

AOW review

Today in ELA I learned about many things going on in the world. These topics ranged from the recent election and the ninth planet found by scientists. My favorite topic is from Jesse Segura. His was about the ninth planet. He said some very interesting things such as “Planet 9 is slowly moving into our solar system and messing with the gravitational pulls.” This is amazing for the entire word to know because this ninth planet is affecting earth and is supposedly 10 times bigger than earth!

Science wasn't the only subject of topics I liked. I also enjoyed hearing about how students voted for Hillary Clinton in a mock election from Dena Ahmed. She said that “students voted Hillary more than Trump and this also affected how the community saw Trump and actually gave Hillary the votes that count.” This shows how one thing can change so many people's minds. Im sure the students didn't expect people to change their votes because students thought Hillary is better.

Election reflection

What are your thoughts on this election in general?

I think that the election was kind of rigged. If you think about it if Hillary Clinton won she would become the first female president in history. That would've been great for the country and Hillary also had good ideas for the country's well being. So it kind of seems off that Trump suddenly and quickly achieved a higher number of electoral votes than Hillary.

Would you like to be more involved in politics? If so how?

Yes in fact I would even like to be an elected official such as Mayor. I have an understanding of politics and it's inner workings. That knowledge could land me a spot in the government as an elected official. I even have some ideas for the town of Berwyn. Some are making sure that parks stay clean by increasing the number of trash cans. Or increasing the number of service hours either from criminals or student volunteers.

Some of you will be voting in the NEXT election! Are you excited? Why or why not?

I'm kind of in the middle because my opinions count on the candidates that we will have running for president. If Hillary ran again I would vote for her and hopefully she will win. If she doesn't run at all then I will have to vote for the candidate I think is best for the country. I know the problem has its problems. Such as corruption in the government. I would vote for a candidate that will do full background checks for people who become part of the government.
