Presidential Canidates

Barack Obama (D) John McCain (R)

The 2008 election is nearing towards us, with John McCain and running mate Sarah Palin for the Republican party ,and Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden this election is thought to be historical. Personally if I had to choose and vote I would probably vote for the republican party because I'm pro-life and I support many of the Republican standards. Also I do not believe Obama has enough experience and is ready to lead this country. Also I have watched Sarah Palin and listen to her speeches and she has a great view on how this country should be led.

Hurricanes

Natural disasters are devastating, hurricanes are deadly and cause a lot of loss and trauma. Every year many people are caught in the path of a hurricane, and end up losing their homes, valuables, and sometimes loved ones, but they still manage to keep hope. I lived in Florida for almost five years and while living there I experience two hurricanes and tropical storms. These storms were not powerful enough to be deadly like for instance hurricane Katrina but they still left me a bit shaken. Although my experiences were not as extreme I remember every one's panic. Resident and neighbors preparing for the worse, stocking up on food and battery supply and boarding up windows. I feel very lucky that nothing worse had happened. As for other hurricane sufferers I give them superb sympathy. And for the recent Galveston hurricane victims I hope they can adapt in this difficult time.

Homecoming

Homecoming week is an important time of the school year because it initiates the new school year. Students are able to show a lot of school spirit and just have fun. It also of course involves sports, the Homecoming football game definitely is a major part. Students get to deck out in blue and white and cheer on the Hematites.

Another sport related homecoming event is powder puff it is different and fun plus many people get involved. The spirit days are probably my favorite aspect of homecoming week, because the spirit days are creative and many people dress up.

This weekend my sister Ashlea and I went to the movies on Friday and saw The House Bunny. It was a lot of fun and the movie was funny and enjoyable. On Saturday morning I slept in of course that was relaxing. Later that night was kind of boring so I just decided to watch Juno for the eighth time or so :] On Sunday I went to Marquette and went to church, then went to lunch with my family. After we went to Getz's and I bought a really cute and comfy vest it was a little expensive but I decided to get it with the remaining birthday money I had. So all together it was a pretty enjoyable weekend.

What I would do if I was President.

The White House

If I were to be the President of the United States, I would make sure that the economy would have a tremendous comeback. Stop foreign drilling for oil/fuel and start drilling in the U.S which would most likely bring gas prices down. I would also lower taxes, so middle class Americans wouldn't have to struggle to meet their everyday needs. I would also be pro-life because i believe people should show more responsibility in that area, because infants should have rights. And I would set up a plan to support high schools students so that if they are planning to attend college they will either have it free or pay a small amount depending on family

income.
