Free Daycare Services

For the parents who both work full time, the government should provide free day care services. If the parents both work and their is nobody to watch the child, one of the parents must change their work schedule or even their job just to be able to responsibly take care of their child. This can affect the income of the family, whcih will make it harder on both parents; but if the government provides the free daycare then it will make it easier on the families who need it and would otherwise have to drastically change their lives. Although, there is a bad part to the free daycare, which will be an increase on taxes, i still stand by my opinion. The increase would not be that big because statistically speaking, most children in the U.S. live with a single parent or a seperated couple. For these reasons I personally believe that the government should provide free daycare services for the children and families who truly need it.

'Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten.

My family means crazy, loud, funny, silly and supportive. Throughout thick and thin, whether we are happy or sad, they are always supportive and right by my side.Without them, I would not be the person I am today. I am very close to my family, especially since my grandmother recently passed away. Through this tough and emotional time in my life, my friend has been very supportive. He was not only supportive for me, but my family as well. My family adores him like he is part of the family, to have their approval means so much to me. He means as much to me as my family does. They both make my life amazing and I would not know what to do without them. Although my family may disagree or argue, they mean everything to me and I would never change or trade them. I love and value them with all my heart and soul.

My Summer Vacation

                 One interesting thing that happened this summer was I went to an African safari with my family. The African safari is a theme park in Sandusky, only minutes away from Cedar Point.  You drive through and are able to feed the animals as they walk up to your car. There were many types of animals including: giraffes, zebras, llamas, buffalo and deer. Something they didn’t inform us of, was the llamas spit and bite! The animals also lick and jump on your car as well.  My aunt only fed the little llamas because she was afraid of the larger ones. My mother was driving, and to mess with us she would lower our windows unexpectedly. The scariest part was when a group of buffalos and a large bull tried to walk up to our car. At the end of the drive, there were giraffes and zebras. Although we weren’t supposed to, we got to pet the giraffe! The giraffes were my favorite part because I loved seeing their purple tongues wrap around the carrot. It was definitely an unusual, yet fun experience.

My Name

I have a truly common name. Wherever I go, it seems there is always at least one more Samantha in the room. It can be confusing at times, but Samantha can have so many different nicknames, thus making it easier. I personally prefer to be called “Sammy.” When I mention it to others, they often tell me they did not think to call me that. It kind of makes me feel unique, or at least a little different from the other Samantha’s. Another reason I prefer to be called “Sammy” is because my cousin, his name is also Sammy, passed away from cancer at the age of sixteen. His death stung like a bee and broke my family's hearts. He was extrovert and could be a buffoon, my family adored him. When my family calls me Sammy they always remember him, and I like that it ensures he will never be forgotten.  The name Samantha means “listener.” I believe it fits my personality because I would rather listen then talk. My mother actually named me Samantha because she was choosing between two names: Samantha and Sabrina- both names of witches because she believed I would be a rambunctious child. In the end she thought Samantha was a better choice for me.

#1 Rule

                 A rule I believe everyone should follow, whether in the classroom or at home, is to treat others the way you want to be treated. The wat toy act towards others will affect the way they act towards you. If you are rude to someone, they will respond by being rude as well. They may make comments to you and others, not only affecting the way they view you, but how others may view you. If you were to act kind to someone, they would want to be around you often and do kind things for you. Everyone should treat others the way you want to be treated.
