Personal Statement A person I admire is the current president of the Unites states of America Barack Hussein Obama. He is the 44th president of the USA and is the first African American. He really is mixed raced‚ but a drop of black blood makes you black. He was mainly raised by his maternal grandparents. He is very intelligent‚ he is a great father‚ a loving caring husband and in my opinion a great president. President Obama’s‚ mother was white and his father was African. His parents were married

Who Am I...? I would consider this question not completely answered until my time here on earth is complete.

McCune-Thompson Project 1 I Believe in Me It was a sunny day in September. The trees were still a bright green and the air was still breezy. I had just gotten home from school‚ reading a book. As a third grader‚ books and studying were all I had. I did not like to play video games and I only participated in sports when in school. So when I came home I spent most of my time reading books or studying. When I was in third grade‚ my favorite subject was math. And today as I am still in school math is

I got caught robbing one day and I was sent to jail. I got out a few months later and went to my former home in the

Many people in our lives may do wrong to us and if we hold on to the hurt and anger we will never find happiness. I was one of
