    McVeigh dropped out of college and joined the army when he was 18 years old. He felt that the government had no reason to kill several people at Waco or Ruby Ridge.

He believed that people learn traits from the government and he felt that the government were not higher up that the people of the United States. It's an "equal" country, so shouldn't everyone be "equal?" I agree with his rational for this, but his actions definitely spoke louder than his words.…

    Someone once said, “who said you can’t let people scare you. You can’t go your whole life trying to please everyone else. You can’t go through life worried about what everyone else is going to think. Whether it’s your hair, clothes, what you have to say, how you feel, what you believe and what you have. You can’t let the judgment of others stop you from being you. Because if you do, you're no longer you. You're someone everyone else wants you to be.” Nobody thought that Seabiscuit was good enough to race but in reality they just did not understand him.

    A. Silvio had a spinal cord injury at the base of his neck [which is classified as a Grade A injury, according to the] American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS). Grade A is considered the worst, which indicates a "complete" spinal cord injury where no motor or sensory function is preserved in the sacral segments S4-S5. Silvio was left with no movement of his legs and minimal movement of his fingers. At 2 years after injury, he received his own adult stem cells and partial scar removal after intensive rehab failed to lead to an improvement. Today he can maintain standing position and wave without help. With a walker and short braces, he can walk over 30 feet without anyone helping him. He can now move his fingers, which he could not do before. (Nelson 1-2).…

    Good morning everyone today I will talk about why Donald Trump should not be elected president of the United States. I think Donald Trump will never be elected president of U.S.A as he is making all of these crazy ideas like proposing to build a wall between Mexico and America and making Mexico pay for it. He also always thinks he is correct and has a hard time admitting that he is wrong. He plans to ban all Muslims until he knows what is going on and better security precautions are made.…
