2008 films

The 2008 presidential election was the 56th presidential election and was held on November 4, 2008. Democrat Barak Obama was against Republican John McCain. The parties’ candidates focused mostly on change and reform in Washington, but in the last few months of the election campaign domestic policy and the economy surfaced as the main issues after the 2008 economic crisis. Obama’s ability to ensure voters that he could handle the economic crisis at the time and voters disapproval of the outgoing…

A wonder woman is a woman who continuously does her job, is successful and shows the world that no matter what the situation may be, she gets the job done. When working hard and trying to achieve a goal, there will always be bumps in the road that will try to stop you from getting where you need to be. In my opinion, Presidential candidate, now President elect, Donald Trump was trying to push Hillary Clinton back during the campaign, but a wonder woman can’t be stopped by an egocentric man.…

On 25 January 2016, Barack Obama’s “Why we must rethink solitary confinement” appeared in the Washington Post.

Including his top hit “Superluv”, which has accumulated around 15 million views. This song had been up since 2012.…

Growing up I was always taught that hard work, preservation, motivation and drive would excel and get me far in life. Outliers almost paints a different picture. Outliers states how luck might have to do with one 's success, such as succeeding and becoming a high ranking sports player. Outliers also mentions how Asians are better at math, because they practice more and if we all contributed at least 10,000 hours into a hobby we enjoy, we could be the best. All these possible reasons as to why,…

Ever since I was little I always wondered why I was never good enough for anything. I felt like I was not good enough for my family, and I still believe this to this day. My family treats me so different than they do to anyone else. I know I was never good enough in school because no one ever wanted me in their class. I strived for straight “A”s and sometimes that just was not enough. I wanted all the extra credit and higher grades than anyone. I made it a mission to do everything that I could…

As an Iranian-American, I have had two very different worlds growing up, both of which have shaped me into the person I am today. One is my home in the Bay Area, the other is my native Iran. I went to Iran for the first time when I was three years old and fell in love with it. I remember the novel feeling of having an uncle who would take me out to get fries late at night, and being surrounded by people who loved and cared about me. In Iran, I felt that I had endless love and support. In the…

When I think back upon all of the life changing experiences I have encountered in the past, I tend to give myself a pat on the back. Because when I look back, I see all that I have overcome and accomplished with the help of my mother, brothers and role models. Nevertheless I can honestly say that I am proud of who I am today, who I 've grown up to be. I am currently seven-teen years of age and I will be eight-teen years old in two weeks. I am undeinably positive that I have been in a greater…

"Senpai did notice me" You like him. No, it 's more than that - you love him. At first you just looked up to him seeing how great he is at swimming - as if he and the water is one. He 's always the fastest one from the four of them. Then you started to learn more about him - you learned how good he is at arts and that he knows how to cook. It seems he can do anything you can 't, and the next thing you know you 're falling in love with your senpai, Haruka Nanase. It 's not that you 're stalking…

Turning around and focusing on the crowd, I slipped on my headphones again, and blocked out every single thought that tried to worm its way in my head. I practically lost myself as I really did give these ponies a time of their life: I cranked up the volume and bass, though not to distorted levels, and improvised a sick remix to go with the track that was playing; and it worked out to say the least. There wasn’t any thought of her at all, only doing what I do best: Being a DJ. Rocking the it…
