A Real Hero

Sometimes I wonder about all the good and bad people.I tell myself is there good people in this world.If there was a person in danger would you go jump in and help them or just see them suffer and asking for help.A lot of people help others with out having a second thought.When there saving somebody's life they don't have a second thought about if they help them from that danger they would die.They do it because the want to help and because they would know that if they where in that situation they would want help too.Thats why alot of people get awarded with the most valuable thing the Medal of Honor.Some my think that they dont need this award because they know that others would do the same thing if they seen someone in danger.
The medal of honor it is so important to all who received it even thought some did not get to see there award.For being so brave to think about what they where about to do put them self's in danger.Like I said some did not get to see there award because they put them self's in danger to help somebody and gotten killed not thinking about there family or the people that love them.So I think that the Medal of honor symbolize to me Bravery in that persons heart.
There is fear in that persons mind.When they are about to help someone in danger and knowing that they are going to put them self's in danger too.There is bravery in that person mind to fear that danger.If there wasn't I don't think they would do anything that would put them in danger.It takes lots of dignity and ability to get awarded for the Medal of honor because not everybody could get it.
It is easier to get it then to wear it.That's what a lot of them think because if they saved somebody's life they would do it to help that person. Not to get awarded by the Medal of honor but to help one another.Probably they would think that know that they have a Medal of honor some people would think or expect them to save another persons life every time someones in danger.
There is different people in this world. Some are bad and some are good.There is only some that did the right thing that's why they have been chosen to wear the Medal of honor.The Medal is the highest award that any person can receive.It is also more important then the president of the United States.A real hero is someone that would risk there life for someone.Even thought they would lose there life's.

Hello,Frederik E.Ferguson

My name is Angelica Claro.Im witting to you because i wanted to thank you for being brave.For saving people,I would like to know more about you and the way you feel about wearing that Medal of Honor.
The hope you had for your country made me had hope as well.You fought for your country.You also sacrifice for your country.Im so glad you did that.
I think you even made other people change there minds.In how they would react if they where in your shoes.
Sometimes I think we should do something important for the people who earned the MOH.It haves to be something fun like a parade where people could cheer and be happy and sentimental.
Million thanks for the sacrafice you did in that helicopter during that fire.Where you saved about for lifes.I bet that it feels very special to wear that medal.
sincerely,
Angelica Claro

FERGUSON, FREDERICK EDGAR

Rankand organization: Chief Warrant Officer, U.S. Army, Company C, 227th Aviation Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). Place and date: Hue, Republic of Vietnam, 31 January 1968. Entered service at: Phoenix, Ariz. Born: 18 August 1939, Pilot Point, Tex.

Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. CWO Ferguson, U.S. Army distinguished himself while serving with Company C. CWO Ferguson, commander of a resupply helicopter monitoring an emergency call from wounded passengers and crewmen of a downed helicopter under heavy attack within the enemy controlled city of Hue, unhesitatingly volunteered to attempt evacuation. Despite warnings from all aircraft to stay clear of the area due to heavy antiaircraft fire, CWO Ferguson began a low-level night at maximum airspeed along the Perfume River toward the tiny, isolated South Vietnamese Army compound in which the crash survivors had taken refuge. Coolly and skillfully maintaining his course in the face of intense, short range fire from enemy occupied buildings and boats, he displayed superior flying skill and tenacity of purpose by landing his aircraft in an extremely confined area in a blinding dust cloud under heavy mortar and small-arms fire. Although the helicopter was severely damaged by mortar fragments during the loading of the wounded, CWO Ferguson disregarded the damage and, taking off through the continuing hail of mortar fire, he flew his crippled aircraft on the return route through the rain of fire that he had experienced earlier and safely returned his wounded passengers to friendly control. CWO Ferguson's extraordinary determination saved the lives of 5 of his comrades. His actions are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on himself and the U.S. Army.

MY GOALS

Well one of my first goals was to go to the Halloween dance.Here at Farragut.Well it was very cool but it was just to hot.I thought i was going to die out there but I came out alive lol.In order for me to go I had to pay my class fee.I also went trick or treating with Erika.We didn't had costumes or Halloween bags.So we went to the store and got the bag.I stold my nephews mask and Erika she didn't needed a mask she was already scary ha ha ha just kidding.She was a clown.There was this guy who told us "don't u guys have better bags".So Erika told him that we where poor.So yeah he made fun off us...

I also have gone to more performances for Drum Corps.Now I know all the beats for the tenners.Now I want to learn how to play the snare.I think if i just try hard on playing the snare ill make it.I just need somebody to teach me.

I also join Drill team which I was expecting something better.Or something better of my self because I not good at it I just need more practice.If I could get all the practice I need I will get better.I also got a higher rank to a Sergent.

A DREAM DEFERRED

A DREAM DEFERRED

what happens to a dream deferred
does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
or fester like sore?
and the run?
does it stink like rotten meat?
or crust and sugar sugar over like a heavy load?
or does it it expand?

A dream deferred
by:angelica claro

what happens to a mothers memory?
does it dry up like dry skin?
or like dirt?
and the dark.
does it stink like bad breath?
or rotten frosting on a b-day cake?
that you never get to try?
maybe it just sticks in your mind .
like nothing happen when it actually did.
or does it float on your mind like million pieces.

What I am trying to say in this poem is what happens to a mothers dream of finding her daughter.Does it hide on her mind that she did not see her daughter in her b-day,because she was kidnap.A mother cannot forget what happen to her daughter.It just sticks in her mind no knowing what to do.

I have a dream that my little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judge by there color of their skin but by the content of their character.(I have a dream speech..pg373..)


This speech and quote is very important to the people back then because they where slaves one day.Also because they were treated bad.For example,there was racism.The white man where being races to the black man.The black man had to sit at the end of the bus.Also they had to drink water from different water fountains.The black man did not like that.So they wanted to stop that.They wanted freedom from all the racism and this speech help them.That's why it is very important to them.

It is also important to me because i feel bad of the things that happen with the black man.I mean I would of been mad to and do what I ever I could do to get respected.Not judge by my color but by the content of my judgment.Like i said before we are all human bins.We should all be treated like them.

Everybody haves a dream even my parents!!
My dad pass away 8 years ago.But he had his dreams.I mean he was a guy with a lot of dreams.One of his dreams was to help the poor people especially the kids.Like one day my dad was buying a lot of cloths and getting hid old cloths just to give it to the poor.That was not only one of his dreams.My dad love cooking he made one of the best plates.So he wanted to have his own restaurant.Well I did not know much about his dreams but those where the most important to me.

My mom did not had dreams like my dad.She only wanted her children to be happy. In order to make her children happy.She wanted to buy a house and a car.Thanks to my dad she got the house and the car.My mother did not had that much of a dream she only wanted to be happy.But my dad did had his dream.The bad thing was that he did not got all his dreams because he pass away.The only thing that matters is that my dad and my mom made us happy .Also that the biggest dreams that parents like to accomplish is making their children happy....

Should you speak up to races comments ?

I think that here in the United States is already bad with racism.So in my opinion you should not speak up to racist comments.It will be better if you keep your comments to your self too.You will make it much better because if you response for every comment you may something even more racist.Like Martin Luther King Jr. he kept going with his dream he did not listen to others peoples comments.

My mother always told me if you want to be respected you have to respect the rest.That will make the life easier for all of us.Life is not about what color you are or what country you are from.We are all GODS children we have to respected each other.Do not response to racist comments because it is not worth it we are all the same, we are all gods children.If you are talking back to them it is because you are letting them know that we all deserve the same respect.You will have to make it official and understanding.

Last and least ,like a said before you should not speak up to racist comments.You could get in series consequences .If the situation gets very bad other people could get in the fight and make the fight even bigger.So if you want to be problem free.Do not answer back to racist comments .If you don't want to get in trouble.

This video will show you why you should not speak up to races comments.
You could get in problems and you could get people cursing at you.Like in this
video this guy try to defend the immigrants so he made a big problem.By making all the
people start yelling at him.This is a good video because it shows you why you
shouldn't talk back.

Goals That I Acomplish

First of all, I got a higher rank in JROTC. My new rank it is now coporal but I will try to get it higher.By getting good grades and not having homework letters or detentions,I made it to another rank.I also learned new beats in tenners now I learned all the beats.By going to practice and paying attention.
Another goal I accomplish is teaching my dog how to walk in the leash.She is now good.Onlybecause I got her use to walking in the leash every day in the morning,until she got the hang of it.

I also teach my cosin to read.I wasnt really easy because he dont pay attention.So I copied Ms.Diaz with the candy I started giving him candy everyt itme he did some thing good.He started liking that idea so he started paying attention to me.So he learned to read.

MY BAD MEMORIES IN THE SLAVE DAYS.

My name is Alexandra I am 21 years old.I have a a beatifull mother of age of 42.We live in Pennsylvania and I never met my father lord I miss him.
Sometimes I just want to cry ,sometimes I tell my self why why me.I just want to forget my slave days back in 1775.I still remember that day.When my mother was making dinner for our master Jackson.Master Jackson was a white guy that did not had nobody he only had my mother and me.Well Master Jackson always drunk he came to the house.But one da that day my mother was cooking,he came and through the pan into her .He told my mother "dont ever cook with out my permision."Thats when he took her to the old porch of his.I ran to see what he would do to my mother .Then I see two other drunk guys to taking my mothers cloths off.I was so scare i did no what was happening.So i took this knife out of the kitchen and whent to that porch.I told all of them "live my mom alone."They all look at me .One of the guys told me to shut up and took out a gun.Then he pulled me to the floor i felt his nasty hands over me.I was screaming,kicking,pushing trying to get out.The only thing I heard was my mother sreaming,"live my daughter alone"Finally they left us at that porch me and my mother had bruses and cuts every where.Since that day i havent heard of my master he left and never came back.My mother and I whent to Illinois because we found out my dad was there.So we actually found him he told us that almost all his life he been trying to find my mother.He new she was going to have a baby.Thats the reason why he escape from his master.Now we have a good life now mother is expecting a new baby from my dad michael.This time he promise he would be with us for the rest of our lifes.

DIFFERENT VALUES FROM MY CLASS MATES

My values are different from my classmates.First they are different because the way they where race.For example,if you where race with your famaly that could be one of your value.

My second reason was there religion and culture.Somecultures are all about having power and money.That makes people in that culture value power.Some religions make you go to church alot and stay in touch to the bible.That makes students with other types of minds.
Last and least ,afterschool students watch t.v or go on the computer.Watching t.v and using the computer sometimes makes you change your mind because things they do or say.We also have different hobbies and that makes us different values.
We all dont have the same religion,hobbies,or race.We are not the same.We all have different thoughs.So that makes my classmates ang me with different values.

MY GOALS

TELL US OF SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE THAT NO ONE IN THIS CLASS HAS DONE?
Something I have done that nobody in my class has done.Well i really
love dogs so i train 3 dogs at the same time.It was not that easy.

PROVIDE 3 ADJECTIVES FOR YOURSELF.

*SERIOS

*TALKATIVE

*POLITE
