In my house our whole family recycles by seperating the paper and plastics away from the trash. We also sometimes recycle glass bottles. In school we always recycle the papaer and the plastic bottles such as water bottles.

Dear Mr. President,

I am happy to congratulate you on your win. My whole family was rooting for you to win the election and we were excited when we found out you had won.
I am writing this letter to let you  know what I think about the economy and what you should consider doing. The economy is probably the most important issue in my opinion. Even though there is a lot more issues you are trying to work on I think you should try and focus on this issue.
Many people can not afford their mortgages because the amount of money they have to pay is just way too high. People have to make a tight budget for their needs to pay off their mortgage, even if they work a lot. Some people loose their homes because of this problem.
In some cases, people have become bankrupt because they can not afford the mortgage and it is either because their jobs do not pay much or they use most of their money on the high takes they have to pay. Taxes have a huge part in this issue because it relates to the whole economy.
I hope you get to read this letter and consider some of the things I wrote to you. I have faith that you will be great president and change our country in a good way. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this letter and I hope to get a response from you soon.

Sincerely,

Ulises

On Tuesday all the kids in the United States will not have school because of the remembrance of the veterans that died in World War 1. This celebration occurs on November 11, but if this day occurs on a Sunday then they change it to Monday. On this day a lotof people march in honor of the veterans who risked their lives for us. This is important because it is the day of the signing of the Armistice that ended the war. An example of a Veteran’s memorial is a statue or maybe a wall with many names of the veterans that were involved in the war. A memorial is suppose to remind you of all the things the Veterans did for us.

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter.     
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace–but there is no 
peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale  
that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears
the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are   
already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What
is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? 
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be     
purchased at the price of chains and slavery?    
Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course  
others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or
give me death!”                                   

- Patrick Henry

My vote for president would be for Barack Obama. I think he is right in how he believes that every American has the right to affordable health care. Obama also makes a good point in how he believes we should provide a tax cut in working families. I think O is coming up with good ideas to reshape the economy and making it better. In my opinion i think Obama is trying to help many families with their lives which is awesome. He also realizes the problems we are having and promises to make it better. For example, he believes that the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the federal budget which is a big problem to the country. These are only some of the reasons why I would choose Obama for president.

I live in Wallingford, Connecticut. It is a small town but it is a great place to live in. The town is safe and it is pretty clean http://geology.com/state-map/connecticut.shtml . The school I currently attend is James H. Moran Middle School. We start school at 8:10 in the morning and ends at 2:25 in the afternoon. Math, science social studies, language arts, Spanish, unified arts, and gym are all the classes i take in my school. If you were to visit my town I would recommend you visit the towns gazebo. It was recently changed a couple of years ago. Wallingford has some history as well that is interesting that you might want to check out later.

Bullying, there are many verbs that can be related to this word such as name calling, pushing, threatening, and so on. National Bullying Prevention Week is to stop all these things from happening to a child. You would know what bullying is if you are trying to hurt someone else on purpose and you have more power. If you are ever being bullied you should tell a grown up and ask for help. Even if it is your friend or someone else you see getting bullied. So, remember always get help or try to avoid bullies if you are in an uncomfortable situation.

I just realized something so common in my life that i have stopped noticing it. This common thing that i have stopped noticing is that every morning my dog wakes up in my bed. This happens all the time that i don’t notice he sleeps on my bed as well. I was surprised when i stopped and realized what my dog has ben doing all the time.

1.What have you stood for in the past?

I have not stood up for nothing really because so far nothing that is worth standing up for has happened.

2.What do you want to stand up for in the future?

In the future i want to stand up for the world’s environment because without the world having a good environment we wouldn’t be able to live happy.

3.What is holding you back from standing up for something you believe in?

What is holding me back from standing up for something I believe in is my age because i know older people would not care for what I think because they would probably not take me serious because I am just a kid.

4.And finally, What would you be willing to risk your life for?

I would be willing to risk my life for my family because, to me that is the most important thing in my life.
