Mis Amigos Y Yo

I really do not have too much to write about. So I have decided to write about my wonderful friends. My friends and I have known each other forever. Most of us met each other through football when we were younger. Two of my best friends were on the same football team as me when we all in second grade. This was one of the best times of my life. These two friends were Charlie Wagner And Chace Davis. My friend Charlie is the funniest person in the entire world. He is a huge jokester. Charlie’s Dad also used to be the mayor of my home town Crystal Lake Illinois. In high school we were work out artners for 4 years in high school. We would get to the weight room a five o’clock and work as hard as we could all the time pushing each other to do our best.

My other friend from that team was Chace Davis. His dad was our coach and took football very seriously. I used to not like him very much until I realized that all he wanted was for us to perform at our best and except nothing less. This was a lesson I learned when I was a little bit older. Chace and I have always been very competitive with each other. We would try to out lift each other in the weight room, and see who could get more tackles during football games and practices. It has always been a friendly rivalry. We get along so well because we are very similar. We used to make a joke that we were body twins. We are the exact same height. And when either of us gain or lose weight it is usually that same amount at around the same time. It is actually kind of creepy.

That is the basics of my two oldest friends. We have been getting in to trouble together for most of our lives. I couldn’t ask for better friends. They are great people. We always have a ton of laughs when we are together. I can’t wait for the summer to chill with them again

My President

Barack Obama Rewrote the history books by becoming the 1^st black, president was inaugurated on Tuesday. It was day that will be remembered by all Americans for the rest of our lives. Like many other events that changed history people will remember exactly where they were when this historic event took place. Just as I will always remember being in 6^th grade computer class when the 9/11 tragedy occurred, I will remember I was sitting in my biology class When Barack Obama was sworn in to office. This was a historic day for everyone to be a part of for every person in the world.

I for one did not vote for Barack Obama but felt a great sense of patriotism running through my true American soul. It is a great American story for a Black man to finally take office. Only in America can your ancestors be slaves and be the most powerful man in the world. Barack Obama is the epitome of the American dream.

It was a shame I was unable to see him sworn live but I did get to watch him at the parade, as well as at the several Balls that were televised. When he spoke, everyone listened, he is a great orator. His speeches were inspirational. When I watched and listened to him speak, I couldn’t help but be overcome with a feeling that everything was going to be fine with Obama at the helm of this great country. I think he has what it takes to bring this country back to the top where it belongs. It is very fitting for a black man to the president of the United States of America. These are the things that spate the United States of America from every other country in the world. We are dynamic, constantly changing, an African American who once had legal segregation, who once was a slave, can be the President of the United States.

It was a historic day and I definitely took time out of my day to reflect on it. I was walking home from class with my iPod on shuffle and the song my president, by Young Jeezy started playing. A song about Barack Obama.

Good Luck America
