Dear President Trump

Dear President Trump,

        Congratulations on becoming the forty fifth president of the United States. I know that many Americans are upset about your election and to be honest, I am one of those Americans. Just because someone is an immigrant and they commit a crime doesn’t mean all immigrants are like that. It’s irresponsible to blame such a thing on a specific group of people when any criminal can come from any race, and the same applies to people who practice Islam. Your religion doesn’t make you a terrorist.

In one of your speeches you mocked a disabled reporter, and that made me sick to my stomach. I can’t believe our country would vote for someone that doesn’t respect all Americans. Your thoughts and the way you talk about women are repulsive. Everybody deserves to have the same privileges no matter their race, religion, or gender. During your presidency try to think about what you could do to make this country better. Not just what will help you boost your ego and get you on the front page of every newspaper.

The Best Gift Ever!!!

When I was younger I loved Hannah Montana. I had three of the little plastic guitars, all of her CD's, and two dolls that came with their own play set, and just when I thought I had everything one Christmas I was proven wrong.
      About five years ago on Christmas I was rummaging through all of my gifts when I saw an oddly shaped figure that was very poorly wrapped. I started to open it and then I saw the best thing ever (in my eight year old mind). It was a Hannah Montana karaoke machine with a Hannah Montana microphone!
      I stared in awe at my gift and then my parents switching off about five times. At that moment I didn't even care about any of my other gifts, my focus was on this Karaoke machine, so I ran upstairs and grabbed every Hannah Montana CD I could find and ran back downstairs. I plugged in my machine and then put in the CD and watched it spin faster and faster until I finally heard the music. 
   To this day I still have that Karaoke machine. Even though I don't use it anymore I still have the memories of my obsession with Hannah Montana. :)
      

My Name

My name means "son of Kenneth", and I am not a son nor is my father's name Kenneth. It means wake up for school. It means please come play with me. It means I'm mad but I still love you. To me my name means nothing. I wasn't named after a loved family member or an adored heroine from my culture. My name was just a thought and then it became a reality. 

   My name is pronounced wrong by many because of it's spelling. People put to much stress on the second syllable and it then sounds like a cat coughing up a hairball . I don't believe my name fits me but in the end it's still who I am. :)

If I Was Forced To Work In My School

  I haven't really had much thought on working at a school because I never imagined myself having to work at one, but if I was forced to work in a school I would want to be a kindergarten P.E teacher.

      I would want to specifically be a kindergarten P.E teacher because at older grades the kids that don't really like sports might not be as cooperative and you can really tell that they don't want to be there doing the activity, but with kindergartners they love running around and it's just so much fun playing different sports and games with them and teaching them about sportsmanship and teamwork.   

    With young children if they are exposed to physical activity and exercise at a young age then they are more likely to love exercising when they're older, so I would really like to contribute to the molding of their mind set. :)

  

My Thanksgiving Thoughts

While I’m in the kitchen cooking with my dad and little sister with the sounds of energetic little boys and The Channel 7 News surround me I think to myself just how lucky I am.

Gratitude List:

My Family - they always make me smile even when I really don’t want to

Food - the best thing to relax me after an intense swim practice

My home - provides me with shelter and warmth

Music/Earbuds - whenever I’m in a bad mood, nervous for a swim meet, or I just don’t feel like talking to anybody I can just listen to my music and block it out

My bike - since I can’t drive yet my bike is my go to for quick transportation

Diversity - the world would be a boring place without diversity

Great Health - I can do all the things I love

Holidays - they don’t call it “the most wonderful time of the year” for nothing

Sibling bonds - there’s nothing quite like it when you  just have that special moment with your built in best friends

Food, Glorious Food

If I had to pick a favorite food, I would probably pick deep fried chicken. I make deep fried chicken all the time with my dad and my little sister and I've picked up a few tips on how to make it perfect.

HOW TO MAKE DEEP FRIED CHICKEN:

Ingredients:

• Deep fryer
• Oil
• Bowls
• Seasonings
• Flour
• Chicken (Preferably frozen and store bought so you don't have to kill anything)

Steps:

1.  Defrost the chicken
2.  Pour oil into deep fryer until it comes up to the line inside
3.  Plug in the deep fryer and turn knob to 400 degrees (leave it to heat up)
4.  Rinse your chicken in room temperature tap water
5.  Once you're done rinsing place the chicken on a cutting board and begin seasoning
6.  After you're done seasoning fill a bowl half way with flour
7.  After you fill the bowl half way with flour take your meat and mix it around in the bowl until it's covered
8.  Repeat process until all of the pieces of chicken are covered in flour
9.  Place the flour coated chicken in the hot oil
10.  Wait
11.  Once chicken starts to float it's done and you can fish it out and dig in
12.  Enjoy

My amazing recipe for deep fried chicken would beat Bobby Flay any day.
