Politics
I really do not have anything to say about politics. I could sit here and make up lies, but I am choosing not to. I hope this does not affect my grade Mrs. Snell!! =)
Abortion
Abortion, I think is initially up to the person who is pregnant. I think that if a woman feels that she will not be able to provide for the child, then it is okay. I also believe that if someone does not want to get pregnant then they should make sure that they are using birth control, contraceptive, or not having sex at all. I do not think you should abuse the privilege of abortions.
Religion
I personally believe in Christianity. I believe that there is one and only one god and not that white man that they paint in pictures, the one that is described in the bible. I believe that Heaven and hell exists and that there is a devil. I may not be the most Christian person walking around but I do attend church every Sunday and not forcefully, I get up myself, get in my car and go willingly, I even bring friends along with me sometimes. I believe that they need to be in church as much as the next person.
Teen Pregnancy/Violence
Teen pregnancy is highly preventable. Most teens that get pregnant, want to be pregnant. I am not saying that all of them do but many do it intentionally. Some do it because they want someone to love and somebody to love them back. Other teens just want to be grown, they think that everything is a game, and raising a child will not be hard and time consuming. Teen violence is absolutely unacceptable, especially if it is a female/male situation. There is nothing to be said. In either a bullying situation, altercation or whatever the cause may be, if you do not know what to do tell someone. If you do not know what to do somebody else will and if they do not then call the police.
Race in America
Is there still race in America? Yes there absolutely is. White people do not like Black people, light skinned people do not like Mexicans, and so on and so forth. With me I really do not care because I do not care what color, race or blood type you are. If I want to be your friend, talk to you, or date you I am going to do so.

The Ron Clark Story

I think that this was a very good movie. It is a family movie and it is great for anyone to watch. This movie was about a teacher who started teaching at a school in the slums and turned the students into something that they never thought that they could be. He was a teacher who had faith in all of his students including the defiant and disrespectful students, which had no faith in themselves and neither did their own parents. Mr. Clark changed the his whole class. He stopped them from doing things that they had no business. He almost gave up on his students but he was talked into going back to school. He was a great teacher and he cared about his students; he saved his students from failure.

College Recruitment Fair (Albany && Fort Valley State)

On Thursday, September 5, 2009 I visited the Trade Center for a recruitment fair. There were two different schools there which were Albany State University and Fort Valley State University. At the fair we were able to gain much knowledge. I learned about requirements that would be needed to attend school (Albany) such as SAT and ACT scores, and grade point averages. I had fun at the fair. I was informed about FAFSFA and many other financial aid choices. The students and alumni of Albany State were very nice and entertaining. They made me feel at home and they said "Even if you do not attend Albany State, go somewhere and do something," so not only do they want you to attend Albany, they want you to be something regardless to what you do and where you go. I believe that this is a great option for college for someone fresh out of high school or for someone who decides to go back to school. I would love to attend Albany State University.

Servant or Leader

Which am I, a servant or a leader? Personally I think that I am a little of both. I believe that I am a servant because I give out a lending hand when I think it is needed. I give donations to charities. I am a leader because I normally have to step up and do things on my own and sometimes fill in the shoes of others. I take part in both servant ship and leadership on a daily basis. I believe that being a servant is no easy task and neither is being a leader. For both you must make some tough decisions. It is fine to be a leader or servant, and if you are a leader know you will one day have to be a servant and if you are a servant know then you will one day be a leader.

Columbus Bank & Trust Speakers

When Heather Horn was here speaking on behalf of savings and credit she let us know about different types of savings accounts and savings bonds. There are many ways that you can save and earn money through banks and credit unions. She also told us how people get bad credit and how they could prevent from getting bad credit. She spoke on how to prevent and how to deal with identity theft, if this ever happens to you. Kwame Smith talked about careers in banking and budgets. He taught us that everyone should learned how to live with a budget because at one point in your life you will have to. He told us about the many different careers you can pursue in banking such as working your way up to be a manager or being an accountant. Both Ms. Horn and Mr. Smith made a big impact on my future banking skills and I thank them for sharing the information that they did with me.

Greystone Apartments

The speaker on Thursday, October 15, 2009 talked about the locations of their apartment properties. They also talked about the price ranges and what you can and can not do on these properties. To live on Greystone properties you have to be a certain age to be a lease holder, you have to make a certain amount of money, and you must have good credit but no credit is better than bad credit. You do not have to worry about any maintenance problems. The apartments do not come with washers and dryers, but you can use the laundromat on the property or rent a washer and dryer, paying monthly payments. I believe that Greystone Properties would be a nice place to live.
