Inspiration

     I'm inspired by people like Lebron James and Kobe Bryant to try hard and never give up. Both of them have tried hard for a long time and each has won at least 2 MVPs and 2 champions of the NBA. This is something that inspires me to work harder to get or earn things that I really want because I know that both of them wanted their bragging rights.
    I'm inspired by ideas like the 3D pen and 3D printer because they make me dream of being an amazing artist and making me draw things that interest me like dragons or swords and weapons. Also, for me doodling is really fun.
    A situation that inspires me is Babe Ruth because he was the first black who was ever in the major leagues. This makes me think that anything is possible because back then the whites hated blacks and discriminated against them but blacks like Rosa Parks stood up to them and eventually got rid of the majority of racism. This inspires me to never falter in my steps and not allow bullies to bully people.

$1 million Idea Fund

      If I had 1 million dollars, the idea i would fund is tell real stories with video games. I would fund this idea because it could help many kids learn about the past while having lots of fun playing these realistic video games which actually happened. As long as it has a bit of violence or some action/fighting in it I am sure many people would play it because according to neuroscientists, the human brain is naturally attracted to conflict and action is conflict.
     These games would teach kids about history and most parents probably would not have a problem with their kids playing educational games as long as they didn't play for too long. In fact, I think most parents would be thrilled to hear about these games, buying them and watching their kids play them having fun, but also soaking up possibly very important information about history of not only the USA but other countries too.

Ukraine Response

        The situation in Ukraine is very strained right now, Putin, the leader of Russia is slowly gaining control over the country. A leader of Ukraine has already given in to Putin. The conflict is between 2 sides in Ukraine, 1 side is the side that wants to be closer to Russia, and the other is the one that wants Russia out of there country. The 2 sides are pretty even so if Putin invaded he would have about half of the country's help.

        I, myself personally would become part of Russia for many reasons, a few are that if Russia got mad at Ukraine, Ukraine would have no fuel; many Russians are in Ukraine and ready to attack with their immense firepower, and combatants in Ukraine near the border have surrendered already to Russia. 

     I believe that Russia over time, will eventually gain control of Ukraine if the US don't get there first. They have time and Ukraine is in a huge political mess too. Also, Ukraine owes Russia due to the $15 billion soft loan and lots of cheap fuel to keep the country going. Putin could make things a lot worse if he decided to go to his naval force's aid in Sevastopol saying he was defending his country and taking over about half of Ukraine.

The Diploma That Works Response

      The diploma that works has many pros and cons to it. The pros are mainly for black people (please excuse the racism in this response) because even now not all black families have enough money to send their kids to college. With this diploma black kids go through college things in the 6-year plan and automatically get a  job.

     Some pros to these high schools are that blacks get to go to a high school which gives them a job at the school's supporter. The school teaches extra college classes that focus on Mathematics, Science, Technology, and Engineering which are key skills in both the school's supporting company and in the real world.

     Some cons to these high schools that the kids may not get a job they like. Or the kids might not be able to go to a college they want to go so they can learn some skills they need to for the job they want and they can get a degree for their job applications which could help a lot. Also, they might not find any interest in the special classes they have at these 6-year high schools.

The Diploma That Works

   Recently a company has decided to start high schools that last 6 years not the average 4. Coming with this change is at the end of the 6 years the students get a job. Usually the job is from the company that is sponsoring this change to help make jobs.

President

       I think George Washington is one of the best presidents for quite a few reasons. I have lots but I'll give you my five most basic and simple reasons.
      Number one he was our nation's first president. To me this signifies that he was one of the great people who united our nation. He was a natural leader which brought him to the rank in the army general. His ability to be a leader made him the first president.
     My second reason is that he was one of the Founding Fathers. The Founding Fathers are a group of men who made the drafts of the Constitution and signed the United States of America Declaration of Independence. The Founding Fathers were the law makers of the US and without them America wouldn't be like this right now.

     My third reason is that he was one of the leaders that gave the US freedom from Europe in one of the final attacks which defeated the British. If he hadn't done that we would still be fighting the British.

     My fourth reason is that he started up the democracy in the US by being president not king. Kings have absolute power presidents don't. Imagine if he hadn't agreed to be president to start the democracy? Would we have a supreme corrupt ruler? Or would he have a fair government?

   My last reason is that he was the only one in the Founding Fathers to release his slaves after death. By doing this he gave a little momentum to the prospect of no slaves at all in the US. If he hadn't done this you or me might be slaves to some rich white man. He with this action helped give freedom  to blacks.

    Overall, I think George Washington was one of the greatest presidents to ever have lived and be part of our democracy. He has done so many great deeds that his name is known nationwide not only because of his title of first president.
