On February 12th‚ 2013 President Barack Obama gave his state of the union address to the nation‚ the first of this year and since his re-election. I had mixed feelings about this speech as I go into that in more detail later. I like the general direction of where Obama was trying to go with it but I must say that I did have a few points that I disagreed with that he presented. But some of the major things which I did like was the minimum wage increase and talks about gun control. I am going to just

If I had to choose between opening gifts from someone or giving gifts to someone‚ I would choose the giving. I like to give gifts more than receive them. I find it very enriching to have my family and friends enjoy the present that I gave them. The best joy of having my family and friends receive gifts by me is the expressions on their faces when they open the gifts. The main reason why I like gift giving is because of the reactions of my family and friends. I put a lot of effort into finding the

My vision for America is that I could see peace for this wonderful country‚ and great minds‚ and the future for mankind. If mankind keeps going it’s course like war or any other conflicts that is still going on to this. Day we would fall and loose everything that we hold so dear.
