Describe a time when you were optimistic about the future

The time when I was most optimistic about the future is the night I found out that Obama was elected president. I was at youth group and my friend got a text from his friend saying "Obama won!!!". I was so ecstatic. I did not jump around and scream and cry physically, but I did mentally. The reason why I am so optimistic about the future is because I know things are going to get a lot better in our society. I did not think that I would see an African American president and I know that unlike Bush, he cares about African Americans since he is one himself.

What have you learned (on your own) is important in life?

What I have taught myself is to keep a positive attitude even when my surroundings are negative. Although it is hard sometimes, I still try. I think that maybe if I have a positive attitude then then the people around me who have negative attitudes will want to be happy and smile.

What is the best advice you have ever recieved?

The best advice I have ever received is to not give up. That is a valuable piece of advice for not only me but most people. This is the best because whenever I do feel like giving up I just think of that and it helps me to keep going. I use it in my school work, relationships, and when I had my first cross country meet. I did not give up.

Describe the best(MOST MEMORABLE/FUNNIEST ADVERT YOU HAVE SEEN

There is one television advertisement that I think is just hilarious, the E Trade commercials. E Trade uses a baby with an older mans voice. In one of the commercials, the baby is talking and his blackberry rings and supposedly its one of his "chicks" calling him and he says something like, "Hey baby let me hit u back". He's a baby, with a blackberry and a grown man's voice calling a girl a baby when he's one himself.

What grade do you think you deserve for this quarter in English?

The grade I think I deserve in English is a B+. The reason why I think I deserve this grade is because I think I have been doing pretty good in English. Last year I always got a zero in my binder checks and reading response journals. This year I make it my priority to keep my binder and my folder organized so I can keep up. I did good on my memoir and completed most of my homework although my teacher did not receive my blog address.

Which historical figure would you most want to meet?

The historical figure I would most want to meet is Martin Luther King Jr. I am sure a lot of people have said this but he was somebody that is very powerful in my eyes. If it were not for him, African Americans may not have the same rights as we do today. He was such a powerful speaker and seemed to be so kindhearted. I know if I could meet him today, I would gain so much wisdom from him. I wish that he could be here to guide a lot of the people in this world because we all need guidance and I think he would be the perfect person.
