My Spring Break






During my Spring Break I had to work on my project which was due today. The project was about the Parthenon. I was really bored that I was playing my PSP and working on my project the whole time. Two of my friends came over to work on the Parthenon. I was so bored that I felt I was about to go to sleep.








On Monday I was bored that I just went to the computer and went on Youtube. There I typed Top 10 Best Basketball Dunks. I was really amazed when I saw the basketball players dunk like nothing. I had fun watching them dunk and do all those basketball dunks.

The President "George Washington."



George Washington was born on February 22 1732 and died on December 14 1799. George was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. George earned fame because he was an American General and Commander in chief of the Colonial Armies in the American Revolution. The most amazing thing about him was that due to his excellent skills at war people decided to elect him as President. I think George Washington has contributed to society. One detail is that he was courageous in war. The other one is that he decided to join the war in order for him to defend his country.
I look up to this person because he showed courage in war and he never backed down. Also he became our first President of the United States. Last but not least he showed Unity. George Washington spent his whole childhood in a Ferry Farm.
I feel that George Washington accomplished a lot during his reign. I feel great that he became our first president of the United States. I have no words of explaining the amazing things he did for the U.S. I feel really happy that he defended this country. I feel glad that he contributed to society. I feel happy that George saved us from being conquered. George had the perfect requirements to become a President. George accomplished many goals in war. That is the reason that I admire George Washington.

This video is great because it's about the Simpsons. My favorite part is when Lisa slaps Bart and Bart looks mad. But at the same time is weird. The videos name is called Defenstrate. The characters are Grandpa, Lisa, and Bart. The setting is in the night, when they are about to go to bed. They use a two person for Bart. One is the devil Bart and the other one is a good, sweet, and learning Bart. So Lisa got mad and gave him a slap because she wanted the real Bart to come back. She explains that the real Bart would have thrown her out the window.
