OVEREACTING PARENTS
Drugs, drinking, sex, and more … all very common in the average life of a teen. Still kids go to school every day and are now use to this for the most part , and all of the sudden parents want to keep their kids home so they aren’t exposed to such things of OUR elected president talking about kids working hard?! My honest opinion was Obama’s speech was none the less, good. In his introduction he stated that waking up early for school and how you could be nervous as it might be your first day, I thought this was very good point especially to connect with the kids and when he said waking up for school every morning is a pain I immediately connected and made a connection as I don’t like waking up early either. Next, he said: “But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.” In this quote he made me think of my own work, strengths, weaknesses, and inspiration, and even push from my parents. For many kids/teens around the world inspiration is everything for some others they have none. Reasons may be there not pushed by their realities and also they just don’t want IT, it being everything that you need to succeed in this world of ours. So, again I ask. Why, would parents want to keep their children from this inspirational speech? WHO Known’s many people have different views on different subjects….

STOP THE WAR OR BE PREPEARED
On September 11th 2001 the World Trade Center was hit by a plane, plane full of innocent peopled….none the less the thousands of people in the World Trade Center. Now 2 days after the eight anniversary of 9/11 Osama Bin Laden has sent an 11 minute 20 second video. Threatening the United States that if we do not stop the war in Iraq then we anti-American ideal will go on. This makes me very angry as , questions flow through my head like what doesn’t he stop the war!? This also helps me learn the different people that embark this world and their opnions. Many people could care less about this message but , what if more terriost attacks arise from this message or if another war starts from other conflicts that has risen from this video. Leaving the question , do we stop the war or continue?
