VOTED THINGYY!((**NOV.6.2008**))

When I just took that vote type thing it was asking was this your first time voting I said no beucase i voted before in school for MS.tHOMPSONS class. It asked me what did i do to help Obama win. I said i did things in school and were his pins and stickers to help support him and i did many essays on Obama and McCain. It asked me a question saying did i vote at a poll or something i said i did not vote at a poll i voted at school in a few of my classes.


When I found out Obama was the new president of the United States Of America I was very happy becuase i did not want McCain becuase he was just like George Bush. Obama is way different he wants to change the prices of the taxes for the middle class and make them lower and change the taxes on the high class. I am a middle class citizen and i like the fact that Obama wants to change that. Obama wants to change many things because he wants Iraq to come home. That is what i think when Obama won the presidenty.

Summerize!

Marilyn Monroe personified Hollywood glamour with an unparalleled glow and energy that enamored the world. Although she was an alluring beauty with voluptuous curves and a generous pout, Marilyn was more than a '50s sex goddess. Her apparent vulnerability and innocence, in combination with an innate sensuality, has endeared her to the global consciousness. She dominated the age of movie stars to become, without question, the most famous woman of the 20th Century.

She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker. As the identity of her father is undetermined, she was later baptized Norma Jeane Baker. Gladys had been a film cutter at RKO studios, but psychological problems prevented her from keeping the job and she was eventually committed to a mental institution.

Norma Jeane spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937, when she moved in with family friend Grace McKee Goddard. Unfortunately, when Grace's husband was transferred to the East Coast in 1942, the couple couldn't afford to take 16-year-old Norma Jeane with them. Norma Jeane had two options: return to the orphanage or get married.

On June 19, 1942 she wed her 21-year-old neighbor Jimmy Dougherty, whom she had been dating for six months. "She was a sweet, generous and religious girl," Jimmy said. "She liked to be cuddled." By all accounts Norma Jeane loved Jimmy, and they were happy together until he joined the Merchant Marines and was sent to the South Pacific in 1944.

Service Learning!

service-learning has spread rapidly throughout communities, K-12 institutions, and colleges. Service Learning is a method of teaching through which students apply their academic skills and knowledge to address real-life needs in their own communities.

Service Learning provides a compelling reason to learn, teaches the skills of civic participation and develops an ethic of service and civic responsibility. Service learning increases motivation and retention of academic skills as specific learning goals are tied to community needs. By solving real problems and addressing real needs, students learn to apply classroom learning to a real world context. At the same time, students provide valuable services to schools and communities

Service learning can have a lot of different types of learning.
Here Are Some Different Kinds Of Service Learning:

• Learning
• Service
• Critical Components that Support Learning and Service

2008 Election:Health Care

  When I was on Glass-Booth for the quizes for some of the issuses were about health  care with John McCain , Barrack Obama, and Ralph Nader.  On John McCain's part for health care he was saying"I want to preserve the quality of health care, I want to make it affordable and I want to make it available. I want to give everybody in this room, every family in this room a $5,000 refundable tax credit. And you can take that across state lines and go anyplace in America you want to and get a health insurance policy. And if you got any money left over, then you 'ought to be able to invest in a health savings account.

Barrack Obama!

"The time has come for universal health care in America," Obama said at a conference of Families USA, a health care advocacy group. "I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country."

Ralph Nader!

All the candidates -- McCain, Obama and Clinton -- are against single-payer health insurance, full Medicare for all. I'm for it, [along with] millions of Americans and 59% of physicians in a forthcoming poll this April [2008 

I believe that Obama should win this elecation because of what he said about the health care.  Obama has good points and bad points.  Obama should win this election because he is working his hardest for the country and the city of Philadelphia.  That is what i think.
