Once upon a time there was a movie called Matilda. Matilda was adopted by a very unusual family. The day they brought her home they didn't even put her in a seat belt, Matilda was still in a carrier. Her father sold faulty cars for a living. He would order stolen parts and use them to fix his cars but he wasn't exactly fixing them. Matilda's father would do things like super glue the bumper on just so that it would hold on long enough to sell the car. Matilda's mom was always worried about her…

three years old. I vaguely remember my father getting on a plane at the airport to go back to Guam and my mom, brother, and I waving good-bye. I have heard stories about why they split, saying that it had nothing to do with my brother or I, just differences between the two. As I grew older, I would still get presents in the mail on my birthday, Christmas, and even Halloween. He would send mangos from Guam, pictures of him fishing and even working (as a firefighter).

William McKinley was a successful president; he did great things up until his assassination. He was most known for leading the United States of America through war with Spain even though it was controversial. His foreign policies were difficult and I feel like most of his choices were.

Spanish American War, beginning in 1898. The United States would ultimately go on to defeat Spain — given to victors (the United States) was the territories of Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam. With the United States now controlling such territories — Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam — the “White Mans Burden” took on a significant role in the world, and most specifically as it related to the Philippines. The white mans burden became yet another example of America…

On December 10, 1898 Spain renounced all claim to Cuba, ceded Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States, and offered the Philippines to the United States for $20 million through the signing of the Treaty of Paris. The defeat of Spain was healthy for them because it turned their eyes back toward their own country instead…
