Day Care



Yes, I think the government should provide day care. I think that if the parents are working for the government then they should be able to have day care provided for their children. Also if the parents had a sense of security that their children were going to have a place to go while they are at work then they would be more comfortable actually going to work so they can provide for their family. This might reduce the amount of parents on welfare. I think a lot of people are on welfare because they need income but cannot work because their children do not have a place to go. I think the government would save a lot of money because they would not have to give the parents the money to support themselves and also pay the people for the jobs the parents who do not have daycare cannot complete.

Values

There are many thing in my life that i value. The long list ranges from items like books and other personal possessions to people like family and friends. I chose a person who was with me through my entire life. His name is Aaron and he is my older brother by 1 year and 9 months. Everyone says we are twins though. I chose him as the thing/person I value the most because he has been there with me through everything and i know i can go to him if i need help or if i need to talk. I feel Aaron and i have this "psychic" connection where we can just look at each other or say one word and automatically know what the other is thinking about at that moment and time. We even sing with perfect harmony and that is not something we practiced, it just comes to us. We do everything together. We play video games, talk, sing, party, and even chill together. Ever since our parents dies we have been best friends and inseparable. We are closer to each other than we are to our other brother and sister who are grown even though we are all still very close. I feel like he knows me better than i know myself sometimes. We have this little saying we say and it is "I got your six.". Fighter pilots say that to one another to let the other person know they have got their back. We feel it applies to out situation so we took it and we use it now. Although we have our ups and downs, and believe me there is a lot of downs, we still love each ether and i honestly do not know what i would do without my favorite person in the whole world!

Summer of a Life Time :)

   

      There are many things I did this summer and i enjoyed them all. but i chose to write about my trip to Florida. We stayed in a luxurious condominium at West Gate Towers in Kissimee, Florida at first, and the place was so big it had 13 pools. It also had several tennis courts, basketball courts, paddle boating, fishing, biking, a large game room, and even roller skating. After a week we left and went to stay in another condo in Orlando, Florida for a second week in Florida. It had much the same amenities, but the Westgate Vacation Villas had parties every night. The following day we went to Disney World. I know it may seem a little adolescent, but we had so much fun. I rode this ride that used to be called the "Tower of Terror". The ride brought you to the 12th floor of a hotel on this makeshift elevator and they dropped you and pulled you back up. The repeated the process like 6 times stopping on random floors. The worst part about it was when they brought you to the top floor it was open do you could see out above the whole park and they took your picture. The next ride we rode was called the "Rock and Roll Roller Coaster. They let you choose a song that you wanted to listen to while you enjoyed the ride. I chose the song "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson while we climbed the vertical slope. It was the worst song choice ever because the line "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and me being who i am, my mind only focused on the word "kill". Would that be something you want to listen to while riding a lightning fast roller coaster? I think not. Any way, i felt like i was going to die because the ride had so many stop and twists and turns and curves and they brought us upside down twice in a loop. They also had steep vertical hills we had to descend and i was so not loving that. When we got off of that we got on the worst ride yet. It was called "The Hulk" and it looked like a big green monster that focused on scaring the mess out of you. We stupidly sat in the front row and I'm not lying when i say that ride went from 0-40 in like 0.5 seconds. When i got off of that tears had blown out of my eyes and i lost 2 out of the 6 earrings i was wearing that day. It was the best experience of my life although i thought i was going to be a casualty too many times. We rode "The Hulk" twice, "The Rock and Roll Roller Coaster twice, and I'm a trooper so i rode the "Tower of Terror" 6 times in total that one day. It was the best summer by far!!

The Significance of My Name


I. consider my name to flow like a river and in fact that’s what it means. Just like famous India Arie I sing about things that mean a lot to me.
N.ever really was I told the importance of my name. Just that in the bible it’s a river next to a garish plane.
D.oesn’t it seem weird that my name is a country though? Although the country isn’t the place in which the river “India” flows.
I. heard the river dances as the wind plays upon the water’s surface. The blue beauty that goes “swoosh” makes happiness become one of my emotions.
A.lthough my first name is special my middle is even more than my first. It is a combination of my aunt’s and grandma’s both. Their names are Jenny and Irene and their rambunctious just like me. You now know the reason the name India Jenene was given to me.
