2012 Presidential Election Poll

It's time! Romney vs. Obama. Who will you vote for?

On my 2012 Election Poll I encourage people of all ages to vote. 

And remember, voting is important.  As Abraham Lincoln once said, "A ballot is stronger than a bullet."

Election Poll Results (October 23, 2012)

My mom helped me figure out the votes by state so we could look at the popular vote and the electoral vote. 

Over 500 votes have been cast so far. And we have votes for every state except eight (Arkansas, Delaware, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming). My entire Citizenship class voted today, but one kid pretended the he was from Nevada so I didn't count that vote.  We still need Nevada.

The Struggles of a ballet dancer

The struggles of a ballet dancer

By Maxine Tewsley 6^th grade

In the book Bunheads by Sophie Flack it describes 19 year old Hannah and her struggles while training to be a professional ballet dancer.  If your dream is to become a professional ballet dancer, you have to work extra hard. Not one low key ballet class a week, but hard core practices nearly every day.  Barre work, French terminology, center floor work and technique. You have to work every muscle in your body. From your head to your toe.  Concentration is huge.

One way it shows how being is a professional ballet dancer is hard is when she takes all of her ballet training on top of hard core work out classes. In the world of dance, sweat is a good thing.  Hannah is very aware about her shape and size. She learns that she needs to have the perfect body of a ballet dancer and starts to work extra hard. And practice is everything to her.

Another way is when it talks about how having a social life is very hard. No collage no friends outside of the academy. There is hardly any contact between you and your parents if you have to move away. And there is hardly any time for a new companion, Jacob. Having a normal life is very awkward.

So now you know how the life of a professional ballet dancer is probably very different than yours. I would recommend this book to those who love dance or consider dance as a career, especially ballet. I think readers will love the book. From the first line to the last. It’s an amazing tale of struggle, stress, ballet and just the right amount of French.

Remembering the Romanovs - Poetry

I Am

I am hungry and cold
I am poor
I am lonely
And you tell me I can have no bread
I am dying
But you can not kill me
We'll march onto the street with our high held heads
Protesting for the lack of food and bread
Treacherous thoughts run through my head
But you can not kill me
And soon you will be dead
Now I am free
No longer your serf
I was a serf

 

Diamantes

 

Tsar
Proud, confident
Ruling, helping, shouting
Work can be tough
Archiving, shouting, working
Strong, loyal
Ruler

Rasputin
Holy, religious
Helping, practicing, healing
He's helping Alexei heal
Working, protecting, believing
Untrusted, righteous
Healer

 

 

Trust Your Dear Mother

Hemophilia
Son, Rasputin will help you
Trust your dear mother

Dear, you must trust him
I promise he will help you
Trust your dear mother

You shall not be sick.
You must make me proud
Trust you dear mother

I have taught you things
Please trust your dearest mother
Son, trust Rasputin 

Before the Shooting

Before the shooting
They were flooded in darkness
Loud gun shots rang out
The end of the world
Is exactly what they saw,
for them anyway

Before the shooting
Horrible thoughts in their minds
And they all came true
Shot in a cellar
Their dreams all came to an end
Buried in the earth
