My Role Model
Thursday, 2/14/13
My role model is my mother. Because she teaches me how to do different jobs and my mother is inspiring me of what she does and my mother behaves are so nice. And I wish I could be like my mother because she is a very good mother and she is lovely because I see some mother when they give birth they throw their children but my mother do not like to see someone throwing his or her baby. My mother inspires us in our family and why I like my mother is because she is very polite and humble because she doesn’t like to fight and do all those bad things. So she is my role model.

Role Model
Wednesday, 2/13/13
I was at home watching television when my father was sleeping. He woke up and sat on a chair. He started making fun of me. Then he told me that you were talking or advicing someone you should speak confidently and fluently. The words stuck on my mind. I told him that my dream was that people to vote wisely and peacefuly. After that I asked my father that, why do people like fighting during elections? He told me, “Because sometimes people get corrupted and some steal the voting cards.” I was quiet for a moment then I asked my father, “what causes the corruption?” He just kept quiet and went back to sleep without answering me. My father remained a role model up to date.
Here is also a video from one of the students performing a poem entitled, "My Dream"
