Political Post
One political topic that affects us all is gun control. The article I read shows how cities that have strict gun control laws are still plagued with gun violence. One example used was how 1 person is shot everyday in Ontario, Canada even though guns are banned.
I believe this article sheds some light on why gun control laws are not very affective. Typically communities with higher rates of gun ownership have lower gun violence rates, because people don't wait for help to arrive, they are their own protection. For example no one is wants to invade a home if they know everyone in that neighborhood has guns/. places like Chicago, where guns have been banned, have had the greatest crime rates. Chicago had over 700 murders this year even though they have banned all guns. Most of these murders were committed with stolen firearms, which comes to show that law- abiding citizens will always obey the law even if they are carrying a gun.

reflection
Something that I have learned about myself is that I know how important homework is and how important it is to get homework done, I feel as if I continue high school with this attitude I will succeed in graduating.
I used to put off work, and sometimes not even do it, but when I got to high school I realized how important work was. I realized how bad one 0 can affect your grade.

This weekend I got very lucky. I got the opportunity to go to my family's place in South Texas and I enjoyed every minute of it. My dad scheduled this trip for himself and a couple of his buddies to go turkey hunting, but I was not invited because I had a cotillion dance and school. When I woke up on Friday my Dad was home because he was getting ready to leave and I asked him in front of my mom if I could go, but he said no and she said yes. I eventually got to go after negotiating.
While I was there I did many things. We got there Friday and I got to do a little bit of work on the bulldozer, but not much since we got there kind of late. Saturday morning I went turkey hunting, and then got back on the bulldozer for a couple of hours. Some friends and I then made our way to Taco Jalisco for lunch where I had a taco eating competition with this large husky guy. Long story short, we tied. After we went to Jalisco we came back to the ranch and went to go shoot pistols at the shooting range. After we did that I made my way to the bed and napped from 3:16 until 6:30. I then made my way again to the shooting range, but this time I focused on long range shooting, which I eventually hit a target 865 yards away from me. On Sunday morning I got up and went fishing, then we made our way back to Baton Rouge.
