7^th blog of this project 10-26-14

This past week in one of Mr. Hoffman’s classes he told us that Abraham Lincoln was also known as “The Rail-Splitter after he told us this he also told us that, that was because that was his profession before becoming a president. Which to me was totally new, I did not know this. I Denmark we once had a really good president whose job before becoming a president was being a cigar roller. This is just a couple of stories about how everything is possible. This to me is why a democracy is the only way to lead a country. Just having the opportunity to come from nothing to something that big. This reminds me that even though you might not be doing well in school or have problems at home, there will always be more chances. Tomorrow I have to re-take the American studies test because I got a 12 (Very bad grade); even though I got a bad grade Mr. Hoffman is letting me re-take it. I will probably not do any better, but to me just having Mr. Hoffman give me the opportunity to re-take it just makes me feel good, because that is what it is all about. Just keep on trying.

Which is what my point of this blog is, just to tell people that even though they make mistakes they can always rise again. You learn from your mistakes, so to all the people who are just dedicating their entire life to getting good grades, I just want to say: Live life!
