State of Union Speech

The state of union speech made by Obama was uplifting and to many people what they wanted to hear. The issues it brought up had value to many people in the country and i think that's why many enjoyed what he had to say. The Comments made about the ongoing depression we are in right now gave many, including me hope about the future. Being one of the people that had a parent who was unemployed for almost over a year i understand how hard it is to only have what you need and how it effects the way of living that you're used to. After a lot of stress put on the family with a very tight budget, having my father find a job in the economy today was some of the best news that our family had gotten in a while. After hearing that Obama wants to make more jobs for more people i was ecstatic. To hear that many other families won't be put in that position of stressing over how they're gonna be able to put food on the table was a sign that our country just might be looking up. Obama also made comments on the money of Collage. Collage hasn't ever been cheep but to be going now it's, more expensive then ever. To hear that he wants to help so that many more students can move forward with their education was something i know many of the people of this country wanted to hear. I believe that Obama wants to make a change in this country but i also think that he has to start making us see that he is. The people need to start seeing the change he is talking so highly about. Till the country sees that I don't think that we're going to be going anywhere fast.

Boy, 7, raises money for Haiti

A boy in London, England has made a big effort to help the people in Haiti. He set a goal for himself to just raise a small amount of money that he could donate although he also had created a website where other's could donate themselves. With the help of many people and his donation ideas his goal was reached. Not only reached but he went way over his goal. This seven year old child doesn't know how his idea has impacted many people around the world. As I read this article I thought to myself, look at this kid all he wants is to help people in the world. And not only did he help those in Haiti who have lost everything but he also changed the minds of many people that were not personally effected by the natural disaster. I support this child in what he is doing to help Haiti and I think that if we would all join together in helping them we'd have more people to help us in the event that we would have another natural disaster.
