Thankful Blog

Some things I am thankful for this year is my family. I am very grateful to have my family by my side. They have raised me since I was an infant and they have supported me since day one. My family is honestly the best, they are always there for me when I am going through hard times and even when I am happy they know how to make me smile and laugh. My parents have always supported me, my mom and dad always make me laugh and smile. No matter how mad I may be sometimes, they still manage to make me smile and laugh. My family is the best and I wouldn't ask for nothing more.

I am also very thankful to have friends that care for me. I have many friends from Chicago and here in Berwyn, my friends care for me and will always be there for me whenever I need them. Even though I have friends in Chicago I still stay in touch with them. I may not always be able to see them but when I can I take advantage of the time I have with them. They will always be there for me and I will always be there for them. I am very grateful to have my friends that mean most near me.

Another thing I am thankful and grateful for is the opportunities I have been getting. I have been getting so many opportunities to do better this year, and every opportunity I get to do better I do it. I want to make sure I succeed in life and I want to make sure I have a better future then the ones my parents have. Money is not my motivation, my parents are. They have taught me that money isn't everything and that money is not worth much. The thing that matters most in life is family. I want to succeed to make sure I have a good job in the future so that I am able to support myself, family, and my friends. This is why I am very thankful and grateful for everything that has come my way this year.

Reflection on articles

Today in class we shared out what our articles were about with our classmates. I recall one of the articles was about child labor and how kids were being kidnaped from home while their parents are gone(happened in India). The kids were being lured to people either with candy, or food. Kids were lured to people with either candy or food. Those kids that were taken from their home were never seen again. They'd be either be put into sex trades, they'd be used as slaves, mad the female kids would sometimes get raped.  

Another article I heard about was one of air pollution in South Asia and Africa. Kids in Africa are being impacted by the pollution in their area. Some of the kids lungs and brain are damaged by the pollution in the air. In Asia kids are being impacted the same way. More than 600,000 kids have already died from all the pollution. These kids don't even make it to adulthood, which means most the kids in Asia and Africa won't have futures if this continues to happen.

2016 Election

This presidential election was the worst. I think people made a wrong choice choosing trump, he is racist, he disrespects women. He also says many things that a president wouldn't say. This man tried protesting and Donald Trump said that he would punch him. A person that wants to become president wouldn't say those things. He wants to win not lose, all the disrespect brought him down but somehow he won the election. He is very sexist, disrespectful, rude, and he does not deserve to be president. 

Some issues I think are important is that Trump is president. Some other issues are, he is disrespectful, he has sexually assault women. He talks about immigrants being drugs dealers, rapist, and trouble when in reality he is going to cause lots of chaos in the world. Trump has said he would bomb isis and that is a big problem because he is going to start war with them and isis might bomb the U.S. He is not worthy of being called the president. He does so many wrong things but people don't see that and that's what needs to change. 

I am honestly not excited for the next election because people might make the wrong choice and pick Trump again. After these 4 years of Donald Trump being president I hope everyone sees that making him president was a mistake. Donald Trump is planning on taking the card for food away. He said he would deport immigrants, and everyone that was illegal. He said Mexicans were drugs dealers and that all we do is cause trouble. But who built these buildings? Mexicans did, now I know other people did too not just Mexicans but Mexicans are hard workers too. They are not like others that do drugs. Donald Trump said he would also build a wall and ,are Mexicans pay for it. This goes to show that Trump isn't worthy of being president.
