Martin Luther King J.R.

Martin Luther King J.R

Many people of the world may know Martin Luther King as the person who brought whites and blacks together. If you don't know him, I can tell you a little bit about him.

 Martin Luther King was born in January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. Martin attended segregated public schools and graduated high school at the age of 15. In 1948, he received his B.A. degree from Morehouse College in Georgia. In 1951, he earned a Ph.D from Boston University, where he also met Correta Scott. In 1957, King was elected president of a new formed Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). A few years later, he came on August 28, 1963 and led a march in Washington D.C. He also gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial. In 1968, King made the Poor People's Campaign, which included a march on Washington D.C. In the spring of 1968, King went to Memphis, Tennessee to show support for black workers striking for higher wages and a better treatment. As King stood on his balcony of his motel, he was shot and killed on April 4, 1968. King was 39 years old. Lots of people were shocked about King's assassination. It led riots in cities. Two months after the shooting, James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the murder, although he later insisted he was innocent.

Martin Luther King was a wonderful person. In honor of him we have a holiday on January 15. Just imagine if he was still alive to help us with the U.S.A's problems. Do you know any famous African-Americans?

What Makes Me Feel Passionate!

Every time I hear the word "Passion" I think of a good memory I had in the past.I'm passionate about the good times I had. The most special  times I have is being with my friends. They make me feel alive. Almost every day I sit down and watch television. When I'm at school, me and my friends have a lot of fun, a lot of laughs. On Saturday and Sundays, I spend my time with my family. I'm also passionate about my family. Thats why I spend time with them. Then, it's back to school with my friends.

What are you passionate about?

Area & Perimeter

During this week, me and my math class are learning about area and perimeter. We are mostly checking out the quadrilaterals. I'm learning a whole lot more. I understand it because math is my favorite subject. I got to keep learning more so I really understand. I did a little example to show you how I do.

What are you learning ?  

What are you learning in math ?

New Years Resolution

Well, it's 2009 and I just want to say Happy New Years. First of all I just want to say a few things to people. I've decided to try out different things like read more, save more energy in my house, and other stuff like that. The reason I want to read more is because I'm not passing some tests or I'm not doing well in reading class. I will study and read more on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And the energy at my house is going out sometimes. We've been turning on the t.v., leaving the light on, and turning on the computer. So me and my family will turn off the t.v., only when we aren't watching it, turning off the lights, unless we are looking for something and what not, and using the computer when we fell like it. I have more things I should do during 2009. What goal will you try to accomplish? 

My Christmas Plans

Since November, I really didn't know what I was going to do, but I know what I'm going to do now. My parents always give me presents and now I need to give them a gift this year. I'll buy them next Saturday. My family and I do this praying thing every single year. On Christmas Eve, we pray about Jesus. I really enjoy listening to see what happened on that day. We also make parties. This year it's going to be at my grandparent's house. My cousins live close to them so I think It will be a fun Christmas. Then, we wait, and wait, and wait untill it is New Years Eve. We usually throw the party at my house. I try to stay up all night untill it's my bithday, New Years Day! We watch the news till they count down. 5. . . . 4 . . . . 3 . . . . 2 . . . . 1. We light up fireworks when it goes to one. I really want my Christmas and birthday to be like this.
