What I wish from Barack Obama is to Honor our Veterans. I think that Barack Obama should care more about the people who sacrifice their lives for our Country. I think that these people should be honor more especially and thankfully. Its sad when a veteran from our country comes back to the world or back to his life, and people look at them like nothing has happen, when they sacrifice their live for our country.
I think Barack Obama, should like reward each veteran for the things they do for us. They will feel happy when people give them the thanks for fighting for them and for us. It’s not you who’s fighting on war and suffering for every single person living in the nation, Its not you who leaves your family behind to show loyalty to the nation, Its not you who sacrifices your life and sees many people die in war, and its not you who comes back from war to your family and sees that you have lost their love and trust and have to gain back. But I’m sure that if it was you, you will like people to give you attention for what you have done for them.
Barack Obama should make sure that these brave persons fighting in war are never in need for something. That they have everything they need even there family, because I think a veteran will be very happy if they honor them by helping there family out. There family are the ones who suffer too when their love ones go to war, and they even suffer more when they die. The president should send these veterans stuff that they need, and make sure they never go hungry or lack of clothing, or other necessary thing.
I think Barack Obama should at least reward or honor each veteran in some way, giving them thanks for what they have done for us. For the people who die there should be honor more especially because they have given their life to the nation, by being brave enough to fight for us and never giving up until there end came. This is why I wish Barack Obama should focus more on the issue on Honoring our Veterans.

Life Changing Event
An event that changed my life was when I met Sandra, and when I started to hang out with my cousins again. Before I used to stay at home all the time because I really didn’t like to go out. I was the kind of person that really didn't like to hang out with there friends that much. My mom would let me go out, but I just didn't want to, I would only go outside and play with my friends that lived in the building. But when I met Sandra (spider pig), and my cousins it really changed my life because I started to make more friends, and have more adventure in my life. This is my story about how I met Sandra and started to hang out with my cousins again. The day when I first talked to Sandra was a school day. I used to see her at school hanging around with a bunch of people, but I really didn’t talk to her.
The day when I talked to her for the first time was when she walking home alone and I was in front of her, since we live close enough and we go on the same directions to get home, I turned around and she was there walking from school to her home. When I turned back, she smiled at me and said "Hi". I said Hi back. I knew her name but she didn't know mines so I told her my name. I remember that day when we were close to my house there was a guy standing in front of his car. He was smiling at Sandra, and then I looked at Sandra and she said "I swear if that guy keeps on following me Im going to tell my mom to send him to jail!" "Why? He follows you?" I asked her "Yeah! He's always right there waiting for me after school, and I really am getting scared, I swear I think that guy is the clown that kidnapped kids!" She told me. I started laughing because around the block there was a rumor that there were some clowns that kidnapped kids, but they didn't who they were. "Hey can I go to your house until this guy lives? Please!!" She asked me begging me. "Sure" I told her. She stayed inside my house for a little while, and then when they guy left she left too.
The next day I went to school, I saw Sandra there, she came toward me and told me How I was, and I told her fine. This time I asked her who that guy really was. At first she didn't want to tell me, but then I gained her trust and she told me everything about him. It passed some weeks until we started to be real friends. One day after school she invited me home and there we started talking, she told me everything about her life, about what had happened to her, and what is happening to her. I understood her, and then she told me since I was the only one that knew everything about her, and the only one she told everything to I was going to be her bff. She presented me to her family, her parents were really nice to me and also the rest of her family. She knows my family too, so we both know each other well. Since that day I started to go out everywhere with Sandra, we got to parties, shopping, and we even go to the laundry together, and I stay sleepovers at her house. We do almost everything together like sisters. We even lie to people that we are sisters and they believe us. I remember that day when my cousins first bought a computer, since we had one, they wanted one like ours.
I remember that day when my father decided to go to my uncle's house. It was a miracle because we hadn't been inside that house for years. We went to their house and I barely recognize my cousins because they looked so different. Anyways I told them how much I missed them these months and years, and they told us the same thing. We were all so happy that we were together again, we had so much to talk about. When it was time to go I really didn't want to go, I wanted to stay there with my cousins because it was fun there. But since then, we promise to each other that we won't fight again and not talk to each other no matter what. Since that day my cousins, sisters, and I, hang around a lot. We go shopping together, we stay sleepovers at our houses in which we don't sleep all night, and we are even planning to do a lot of stuff together this summer.
Later on, when Sandra and my cousins went to church with me they both met each other, they had there problems, but were over it now. So when I met this persons it really changed my life a lot because now I have a lot of adventures and memories with them. I Trust them both and I love them.

Parents are the best teachers
In my opinion I think that parents are the best teachers a person could have, for 3 different reasons. My three different reasons are that, our parents already know how life really is. There the only ones who will want the best for you. Your parents are the best teacher you could have because they are the ones who know you best. Don’t you think your parents are the only ones who could teach you good enough than anyone else?
My first reason is that our parents already know how life is. Our parents already experienced what were going through right now. They know that you can’t play with your life, and mess it up. They know that life can be bad and good. By our parents knowing this they could give us advice and teach us how to live our life these days because there the only ones who care about us.
My second reason is that there the only ones who want the best for you. Nobody loves and wishes you the best as much as your parents do. There could be people whom you trust that are totally fake and only want to hurt you. There are friends and teacher who will only teach you to do bad things, and that’s not a good teacher. This means that the only persons who could teach you to the right things and won’t hurt you, and are the only ones who want the best for you are your parents.
My final reason is that your parents are the best teacher you could have because they are the ones who know you best. They know what you want, and they could tell you if its good or bad. They know how you live and how you act when your feeling something. There the only ones who you could trust. How can a person teach you and be the best teacher if they don’t know you as well as your parents do?
In my conclusion, I think that the parents could be the best teachers a kid, son/daughter could have. Our parents already know how life really is. There the only ones who will want the best for you. Your parents are the best teacher you could have because they are the ones who know you best. Kids won’t realize it until they turn to be parents, they will understand that the only person who will be the best teacher for its son and daughter are the parents.

A Skill Everyone Needs
A very important skill that everyone needs in order to be successful in world today is to be able to know English. One of the most important languages in the world is English. English is the American language, and since everyone wants to come to America to have a better life they have to know English. English is a very easy language to learn but to know how to speak it well is the problem.
People have to know how to speak, read, and understand English to have a good job here in America. If you can't get a job because you don't know English you can't be successful in life. How can you work here in America if your not going to be able to understand or speak English because almost everyone in America knows English. For example you could be working in a restaurant and somebody asks you where the washroom is at and you don't understand them how are you going to respond back and tell the person where the washroom is at.
You have to know English to study in America too. Teachers in America teach in English, and if you don't know English how are you going to learn and understand. They give you your books written in the language English, not in Spanish. If you don't know English you can’t study here to get a career or to prepare a good future that is in front you. Not only immigrants are the ones who have to study, even citizens because there are citizens that are born here and don't know English but there parent’s or family's language. For example there could be one day that the teacher tells you to study because you are going to have a test the next day. How can you study if you don't understand English that well, or at all.
You can teach your children or even grandchildren English, so they won't have to through what you went. Everyone wants the best or better future for there love ones. If you know English you don't even have to send your children to learn because just by speaking it since they were born the kid will have that language in his mind. Sometimes is good to know 2 languages, but especially English. If you know 2 languages is like being worth double than what you are. Knowing English will help a lot especially because almost everything that is important on the world has English on it, even the most important persons know English.
One thing is to know English and another is to learn how to speak it right and well. people like when a person speaks there language well. I don't mean like speak well that it sounds the correct way but to use it in a good way. Like many people curse in English and that is affecting our language. English it's kind of losing its respect in that way and its real meaning, because there are people who change the words and its meanings. So a skill everyone needs is to be able to know English right or speak it right.

The Best Day Ever
I woke up in the morning and I was very happy and excited, that was weird because I'm never excited or happy when I wake up, I am usually tired even thought I don't do nothing. I guess I was happy because that day was my birthday and I was one year older, it was my fourteen birthday. Yep, 4 years away to being an adult, and 2 years away to havin my liscence for driving. Excited I was because we were only 2 days away from Christmas eve! It was December 22, when my "Best day ever" happened.
So I woke up and I was very hungry and wanted to eat breakfast, and I didn't expect my breakfast being on the table ready. So I decided to make some pancakes for myself but when I went to the kitchen my mom already had breakfast ready for me. She had my stack of pancakes with honey and milk ready on the table for me to eat. "Happy Birthday Lore!" My mom told me, while she hugged me and I hugged her back. "Thanks mom." I said. I ate my panckakes, and was surprised that they tasted differently because theses ones tasted more delicious, and better, I ate all my breakfast and everything went well that morning all my family wished me happy birthday.
At 12 pm, my friend came over to my house and asked me if I wanted to go shopping and hang out in the stores. "I don't have money." I told her. "Lore it's your birthday and im inviting you to go shopping, so that means im going to buy you watever you want." she said back. "Oh wow! like how much money do you have?" I asked her, making fun of her. "200 bucks." she said. "Ha ha! Ya right...I beleive you" I told her. "Ok then, look" she said while she was taking the money out, show it to me. "Where did you get that from?" I asked her. "It was my allowence, money I had saved and earned." she responded. "Aha! ya right..I know where you got that from!" "Ok then, don't ask, so are we going?" she asked me. "All right you said it!" We went to downtown, and there we went inside stores and tried clothes on, I liked most of them, but they were expensive because they were like 15 to 30 dollars each blouse and pants. "It doesn't matter, Lore, just take it, Ill pay for it." When we were at the cashier paying for my clothes,me and my friend saw that they were paying us less than what they had to. "All the clothes have 70% off." The cashier told us. "Oh wow, thanks." My friend told her. It was already 2:00 o clock and we were walking around downtown, and we decided to go to Navy Pier, there we just wondered around in the stores and had fun in the parks. We finally were hungry and we went to a chinese restaurant near Navy Pier. It was so much fun in Downtown with me and my friend.
I got home like at 4:30pm o'clock. and when I got home my whole family was in my house, even my big sister that almost never came home, my cousins, uncles, aunts, and friends. They had made a surprise party for me. I was so happy! "You thought I forgot about your birthday, right?" My big sister told me. I got a lot of money and presents, and I loved the ipod touch my sister had gaved me. The most thing I loved about that day was that I spend time with my friends and family and I had so much fun. It was "The Best Day Ever"!

Her smile
When I looked at her smile, I knew she was up to something. She smiled at me very differently from everyone else. Her smile made me think she wanted to say something to me, but she just couldn't. I loved her smile, she had a shy and nice smile, but something behind that smile told me she wanted to tell me something.
Next day, I went to school "Hey Ricardo!" the girls shouted. "Hey girls." I said. My friends were waiting for me in front of the school to hang out and go to the store. "Hey Rick! Come here!" "Hey Ricardo!" I heard my name being shout everywhere, but as soon as I saw her all alone everything stoped for me. She gave me that smile again, I ditched my friends and went toward her. "Hey." I said to her. "Hey there." "Um......."she started to say, but then kept quiet. The bell rang and then she left. I started to feel something about her, I don't know what, but it was something pretty.
I got in class and the teacher was passing the papers for the prom day, and the requierements for it. I really didn't know who to go with, theres been alot of girls who asked me but I just felt like they weren't the ones for me. Afterschool, I met her outside again, and this time I really got to talk to her we started laughing together and she looked like she really had fun with me. I walked her home, and we really enjoy the day. I really liked her, she is like the first girl I really liked and felt something for her. I left her home she gave me that one smile again and as soon as she walked in her house, I had forgotten that I never asked her for her name. "Oh well tomorrow it'll be another day." I said. I had it! I know what to do! I'm going to ask her to he prom, and I'll do it tommorow.
Tommorow in the morning, I went to pick her up, I just couldn't wait to ask her. I knocked at her door and a lady came out "Yes dear,what do you want." she said. "Um.. does this girl live here?" I asked. "Oh, you mean Natalie! Oh I'm sorry she went to New York last night and won't be coming back until next month."She told me. "What?" I said. "yes dear" She said.
Oh well I guess ill have to wait anyways prom was only two months away, and her smile is the one that gives me patience.
Next day, I went to school "Hey Ricardo!" the girls shouted. "Hey girls." I said. My friends were waiting for me in front of the school to hang out and go to the store. "Hey Rick! Come here!" "Hey Ricardo!" I heard my name being shout everywhere, but as soon as I saw her all alone everything stoped for me. She gave me that smile again, I ditched my friends and went toward her. "Hey."
