It was the summer of 2011 where my family and I choose to travel to Washington DC. It was my first time in the USA, I was very excited and I hoped that I had the chance to see Barack Obama.
The first day of the vacation, we of course went to see The White House. The White House was not as big as I thought so that was a disappointment, but it looked very nice. And there were more people than I expected. Suddenly I heard police cars arriving, and all of people began to go crazy. It was about that time, where I realized, that something special was going on.

    There is always drama and suspense leading up to National Signing Day which has become the most important day to college football teams all around the country but that wasn't the case this afternoon for the West Virginia Mountaineers. Today saw Coach Holgorsen and his staff sign every committed player that was expected to sign, sign with the Mountaineers. West Virginia failed to sign a quarterback in this class which concerns some fans but don't forget that WVU has Will Grier (JR), Chris Chugunov (SO), and Cody Saunders (FR). There is youth at the position but as we have seen before you can never have enough experience at the quarterback position. Two strengths that West Virginia walked away with in this class are defensive line and defensive backfield which should make defensive coordinator Tony Gibson a very happy man.…

    Daylight Saving Time – March 12th 2017 Initiated by a satirical essay penned by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, the idea of changing sleep schedules came to mind due to the “rude awakening” that the summer sun caused Franklin at 6:00 am in Paris. However, it wasn’t until 1905 that the first ever campaign to move the clocks forward between April and October was promoted; The “Waste of Daylight” measure was led by Englishman William Willet. One morning on horseback, Willet had the epiphany that the clocks should be moved forward by 80 minutes so that more people would be able to enjoy the abundance of sunlight. Subsequently, Willet used majority of his fortune lobbying the reform; unfortunately, by his death in 1915, the British Parliament continued…

    On the last day of school in eighth grade, when my parents told me that we were moving to the United States, all I could think of was that I was going to meet President Obama. Frankly, the only thing I knew about the country back then was Barack Obama and Tom Cruise. I was nervous and excited at the same time about visiting this wonderland because I had never dreamed of living in America of all places.

On the other hand, I was really excited about the fact that I will finally have an opportunity to visit places like NASA, the World Trade…
