Nobel Peace Prize

Ok what we have here is a president who has done nothing with our country yet. But somehow ended up getting the Nobel Peace Prize. I am not trying to be racist or anything like that I am just saying since when do we get an award or a Nobel Peace Prize for that matter from just simply stating some ideas. Many people are furious about this. Let me give you an idea of what kind of person should be getting the Nobel Peace Prize. There is a man of the name Greg Mortenson who was nominated for the award by some members of congress. Greg has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. So far his institute has made over 130 schools and has made millions of people support this and make this a building block for peace. Now that is quite the accomplishment and dedication that deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Don’t get me wrong that president Obama has done some things for this country or plans to do but nothing has happened really. In this article I was reading where I got all this info at states that like people who don’t really know Obama and thinks because he has won this prize that it may make the illusion that he has done a lot so far. Such as the troop surge in Afghanistan, a harder line in Iran or maybe the missile shield for Portland. In my opinion I think someone else should have got the prize and give it to Obama when he has done something.

Writing Experiences

I have had some very good writing experiences and some very bad one’s as well. Let me talk about the bad one first. This experience was so bad I had to actually rewrite the whole paper. It was like at the very beginning of my senior year in high school. The paper had to do with something I really did not care about like I think it was a paper about some guy. But, anyways I could care less about the dude and I did no research on it or anything. So when I got the paper back it looked like it had been stabbed with a knife there was so much red ink on there. So ever since then it taught me to that I have to actually care about the paper now because the teacher is going to grade it hard. Another lesson I have learned was that you couldn’t write a good paper with out an outline. Some people believe that it does not work better when you have an outline but I have noticed that having that structure makes the whole paper flow better. That brings me to the good experience that I had with writing a good paper. I know I have mentioned this in an earlier blog but I have to mention it again because it went so well. This time I gave an interview to the guy that was in the profession I was writing about. It also was something that I was interested in which was firefighting. On top of all that I had an outline for my paper. So moral of the story to write a good paper you must have an outline and research in my eyes!
