On of my all time favorite books that i am currently reading is Heat by Mike Lupica. I could just tell by looking at the cover that this book was made for me to read, and me who is not the biggest reader to have a book that actually makes me not want to stop reading is amazing.

The main thing i think i like most is the fact that its a teenage boy named Michael who loves to play baseball its his favorite sport just like me. Another thing is that its held in the Bronx of New York and by the actual Yankees Stadium. It has all kinds of everyday life things occur he eats at McDonald's and plays baseball on a little Scrap field for fun, but also plays for the best traveling team maybe in the nation. He is living in fear his whole life because his dad is back in Cuba and its just him and his brother stuck with no birth certificates. This really makes me pay attention because its so intense you never know what is going to happen. Michael and his team have made it to the Little League World Series and he is there ace pitcher, but when time comes around how will he prove his age?

This book is a definite 5 stars and is a great book for any gender and any age. It is filled with intense fear, playing the game of baseball, and hard work. Its a great moral story and a definite book that i wouldn't mind reading again.

To the President....

For president its obvious that the two candidates are about even but there is always one thats stands over the other one and to be that is Senator Obama. He has thought of ways to keep us a better and more stable country. For example, like how he feels we should have a well thought out plan before sending our troops in to war. His plan could help us overcome the war and save a higher percentage of our troops lives. On taxes is the same way its a well thought out plan that he wants taxes to be lowered on lower and middle classes to help them make it through our economy and to raise taxes on the wealthy which is reasonable. These to hard facts are things that could help make our country way better and help our economy only in a positive way.

A True Pioneer

In my world its not a recent event that showed this pioneer really stand up and be strong. A little while back a true tragedy occurred a car accident in Pleasant Plains, AR with a one person crash Dennis Merritt of Batesville, AR was in a single car accident.

His son who is one of my good friends couldn't believe this event had happened. I mean its not like you ever can imagine what it would be like to not have your dad in your life anymore but only in your spirits. Sam to me is a true pioneer because even though he lost one of the most important people in his life he kept moving forward by raising the bar. He knew his dad wouldn't want Sam to just die in sorrow and never let it past him.

He knew dis dad would want him to keep living his life to fullest just like he did so Sam could have a successful life just like his father. So that was exactly what Sam did he kept living a normal life not showing any sorrow even though he had much sadness built up he kept living like a true pioneer. He stayed in football, he kept going to school, and also keeping socially active. Sam lived through a HUGE tragic event that i could never imagine living through so this is why to me Sam Merritt is a true PIONEER.
