Anti Bullying Poem

Everyone needs a friend.

The world is filled with love
The world is filled with hate
Everyone needs a friend
Before it's all too late

In a world full of people
How could one go lonely
What is living life
If you ain't got a homie?

We all want someone to be there
At least someone to hear
Someone to keep close to our hearts
Someone who is dear

Kids getting bullied in school
Nobody sticks up for them
So really who is the fool?

If it was me being bullied
Would you be there to save me?
Like you never leave a friend behind
Always remember, homies help homies

What goes around comes around
Good karma will make life sound
Time and time again
Not only you, not only me
Everyone needs a friend

November 6th Election Thoughts

Honestly this November 2012 election for me was thought ahead. I had already know Barack would win the election. I thought this because Mitt Romney was full of lies and BS. He kept on attacking Obama and everyone knows that attacking is always easier than defending and Obama did a great job defending and countering the things Romneys campaign was saying and throwing at him. That strong fortified Obama defense led me to make my decision for Obama.

My vote for president

The candidate that I would vote for to be my president would be Barack Obama. Although I'm not 18 yet and unable to vote, I'd choose Barack Obama because of numerous reasons. First of all, although many think nothing has changed since he took into office, he really did help benefit America. He killed Osama Bin Laden, he brought gas prices down, he brought over 70,000 jobs to Americans and brought some soldiers back from Iraq.

Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage month is a month of celebrating the history of Hispanics and cultures and contributions. It lasts from September 15th, to October 15th and it's dedicated to only the Hispanic history. It all started in 1968 during President Lyndon Johnson election. This month I'm recognizing the famous pop singer, Christina Aguilera. From a young age she knew she wanted to be a singer. When she won a Grammy for New Best Artist in 1999, that was a great point in her life.
