Why Hillary

I think Hillary Clinton should be elected to be the next President of the United States. My three reasons are: she is the first women to run for president, she is experienced and she is really good for kids.

My first reason for wanting Hillary to be next is because she is the first female to run for President. That is important to me because I think she will make things better for girls. We are more than fifty percent of the population.

My second reason is because she has good experienced. Her experience is eight years as a U.S. senator, eight years as First Lady at the White House and as many years as First Lady of Arkansas. Hillary Clinton is also a good lawyer and past advisor for her husband when he was President.

My third reason is because kids come first to her. She has said will continue to make schooling better and affordable for all kids. For example, Sen. Clinton is in favor of current legislation to reform federal student–aid funding which will return more federal dollars into the hands of students instead of big business.

So yeah, if I were old enough to vote next year my vote would be for Sen. Hillary Clinton because she is for kids, she is very experienced and mostly because she is the first female to run for President and she will do an awesome job.

New Puppy

I now have a new puppy and her name is Maggie. She will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. As you can see from her picture she is as cute as she can be!

Summer Tutoring

This summer I have spent a lot of time studying for this coming school year. My tutors are Nana and Debbie. Nana helps me with English and Debbie helps me with math. For me so far there are two depressing results and two helpful results.

The most depressing result with tutoring is that I don’t see or talk to my friends as much because I am always doing my homework and because I am mostly in Indy. The only time I get to see them is when I go to Fort Wayne on the weekends and then only if I don’t have plans with my mom and dad or other family members.

The second thing about all the tutoring is that after doing my homework for about three or four hours it starts to get really boring. But I have no way out of it so I guess I will just have to live with it until I am done for the day.

The first helpful result is that I am learning more so I will do better at my new school and with my grades then I did last year at MPMS. Too, sometimes it can be fun… when I want it to be.

But the most helpful reason for all this studying I am doing gives me a better likelihood of passing my high school graduation test. When I graduate high school I’ll get a better chance at going to collage and getting a bigger choice of jobs. And that is why I’m doing all this work.

So, the summer tutoring, even though boring sometimes and I don’t see my friends as much as I want, can still be fun sometimes and will payoff in better grades this coming school year.

My Favorite Guitarist!

MY Favorite Guitarist!

My most favorite guitarist and keyboardist is Billy Martin (William D. Martin) from Good Charlotte. He was born on June 15, 1981 in Waldorf, Maryland. Billy started playing guitar in 6th grade. He joined Good Charlotte in 1997 but before he joined Good Charlotte he was the lead singer in a band called Overflow.

Billy has a website for all of his art -- the site is www.bloodzilla.com . He also has a clothing line called level27 and also started sponsoring skateboarders over a year ago. He does this with his best friends.

Billy is vegetarian. He said in an interview that he couldn’t imagine eating his animals so why eat other animals. He keeps has 3 dogs, 3 cats and 1 spider as pets.

His natural hair color is dark brown. But now is currently black and blonde and his eye color is blue. He is around 5’11. His favorite food is pizza, food with peanut butter in it, sushi, and bean burritos.

His favorite superhero is Batman and his favorite hobbies are collecting toys from Star Wars, Simpsons, and also some comic book characters. He also enjoys buying new clothes, playing music, and hanging out with his friends.

He is currently working on a children’s book called, “A Boy and His Bat.” He was also the co-writer of the song, “Ghost of You.” So yeah, that is a little bit about my favorite guitarist, Billy Martin.

Why I Want a Cockapoo!

Why I Want a Cockapoo!

Cockapoos are very intelligent dogs. They are a cross between the french poodle and cocker spaniel breeds. They are very nice to people and other animals but should still be watched when around other unfamiliar dogs. They are also very good at being trained.
They come in different color coats (black, tan, brown, blonde, cream and combinations of these) which makes them very unique and beautiful. They have been around since the 1960’s. They are well known all over the world.
They do have some problem as they get older with their eyes and knees. A cockapoo should be brushed daily and get a haircut two times a year. This breed is easy to please and very friendly. They do eat a lot at times.
I love cockapoo dogs and I really hope we get a cockapoo from my dads work friend. It maybe a brown one or a blonde one. I really hope it will be the brown one. They are so cute I love them so much and if it is a girl I am going to name it Belle (the French word for beautiful). But if it’s a boy I am not really sure what I am going to name him but I am going to look up some names tonight for a boy cockapoo dog.

Family Friend

My Aunt D and Uncle Bill said goodbye to an old friend yesterday. My aunt and uncle loved their best friend. They always took time to chat with her every day, they were walking buddies and they would hang out together doing other things. When she got older and sick they made sure she ate right and would even take her to the bathroom. They loved her every much and she was important to the whole family.

So, even though I didn’t really know her, she sounded like a great friend and I’m sure they will miss their dog Bailey, their Black Labrador, may she R.I.P.

Who I Listen To ...

My favorite music genres include heavy metal, pop punk, punk rock, emo. Some of my favorite bands are Three Days Grace, P.O.D, Korn, Slipknot, and Sevendust.

Heavy metal music started in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Some of the first heavy metal band playing around that time was Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Heavy metal was broadly popular around the 1980’s. Todays heavy metal bands are Slipknot and Lacuna Coil.

Pop Punk music started in the 1970’s and is still around today; some of the newer pop punk bands are Green Day, The Offspring, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plane, Yellowcard, and Fall Out Boys, to name a few.

Punk rock music started between 1974 – 1977. Good Charlotte and Green Day are pop punk and punk rock bands combined genres. Mostly today’s pop punk and punk rock is the same thing only a little bit different in some ways. Punk rock started before pop punk. Punk rock is sloppier and grungier then pop punk.

Emo music started in the 1990’s. It is a mix of pop punk and heavy metal put together. Some of the emo bands that are out today are: The Hated, Circle Takes the Square, Dashboard Confessional, and Evergreen, just to name a few.
