     The first few days of my break sucked. I got sick, and couldn't really cheer at the basketball games. My phone cracked and stopped working for a few days, and I went to a Christmas party that was no fun at all because I didn't know anyone there except for my cousins and grandparents. 
      There were a lot of good things that happened during my break too. I got to eat a lot of awesome food, and I got to spend time with my family that I haven't seen in forever. My grandma took me and my cousins to the Cheesecake Factory, and then we got to go to the mall. I got a new phone case so next time I drop my phone it won't crack as much as it already is, or even crack at all. My parents took me shopping for Christmas, and I got a lot of cool things. I got fluffy socks which I literally love, so that was pretty awesome for me. I bought a few books about ghosts and demons, supernatural and paranormal stuff. All my favorite tv shows were on during Christmas break too.
     ​I got to spend time with my family and get to know new people that I never knew I was related to. My cousins and I went to the Cheesecake Factory and got a ton of good food, and dessert. We got to go to the store called Forever 21, and then we went to Starbucks. My aunt drove us back to Ashland from Columbus for the Christmas party where I got to meet some of my family I never met before, and also didn't like very well.   

Before career day I wanted to be a forensic investigator because crime and law just really interests me. I like solving puzzles and mysteries. I read a lot of books with solving a crime or what goes through the criminal's mind as they are committing the crime. I also watch a lot of tv shows where they solve the crime or tell the stories of the crime, and that's what helped peak my interest in forensic investigation. Before the reality store I thought money was something you earned and then spent it on bills and taxes, and that you have to save money up every once in awhile, or when you want to buy a house or a car.  

When we first started the reality store I thought that it would be easy, but a little bit after it started getting harder because you had to pay for all these things like a car, house, child care, insurance, and communications. It didn't help the fact that we all had a spouse that doesn't work. I learned how much stress this can put on my parents, and other family members with having to save money for the things that you need. I also learned that being an adult is harder than what teenagers think. I have more appreciation for my mom and dad, and any other family members. They have to go through stress just so they can keep a roof over their head, food in their mouths, and clothes on their back. 

I learned a few things during the afternoon from the speakers. I learned that with forensic science come chemistry, biology, math, and other sciences. I also learned that you really have find what you want to do before you just go out and do something. You really have to think before you pursue a career. You have to think "Will I be happy with doing this the rest of my life?" or "Is this something I'm really interested in?". I learned you should find what your passionate about before doing any type of career. I took all what I learned as that you should follow what you want to do, but you should think if you'll be happy or not.  

Hillary Clinton is the most experienced candidate. She knows a lot about politics. She was the first lady of the USA, she was Senator from New York, and the Secretary of State. She also has a past with being a lawyer. 
    Hillary Clinton plans to keep guns away from criminals. According to huffingtonpost.com Hillary has said “We can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable while respecting responsible gun owners... The stakes are too high, the costs are too dear, and I am not and will not be afraid to keep fighting for common sense reforms, and along with you, achieve those on behalf of all who have been lost because of this senseless gun violence in this country. "The majority of our country supports background checks, and even the majority of gun owners do." Hillary has also said “I think that we have to look at the fact that we lose 90 people a day from gun violence.” Hillary Clinton shows that she cares about our society and wants to keep the guns out of the hands of many criminals. This makes her a good candidate because she wants America to be safer.  She also wants to keep guns out of the hands of the people who are “violently unstable”. She says that she is not taking the guns away from the gun owners who are responsible. Background checks will also make America safer. America can keep tabs on who has a criminal past, and who doesn’t. 
       Hillary Clinton is not taking away the right to bear arms, but is improving it. Again Hillary Clinton has stated “We can have common sense gun reforms that keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and the violently unstable while respecting responsible gun owners” Donald Trump has said “I am a 2nd amendment person. If we had guns in California on the other side where the bullets went in the different direction, you wouldn't have 14 or 15 people dead right now.” Hillary has also said that “Arming more people is not appropriate response to terrorism.”(washingtonpost.com) Yes Hillary Clinton wants to do something with gun control, but from what she has said it clearly shows she is not taking them away from the responsible gun owners. She is taking them away from the criminals and mentally unstable people. People who are against Hillary Clinton say that she is trying to take the guns away from the people that hunt. Again she is only taking the guns away from the criminals. She is also taking guns away to prevent some terrorism in America. This will help our country because we could be safer. We wouldn’t have to worry about criminals getting their hands on a gun. This would also make background checks more frequent which also increases the safety of the people of America. Terrorism would become more rare because they couldn't get a gun without having a background check. 
       Hillary Clinton wants to give all children the chance to get a quality education at an affordable price. “ I believe in affordable college, but I don't believe in free college, because every expert that I have talked to says how will you control the costs. I want to make sure middle class kids, not Donald Trump's kids can afford college. (: MSNBC Democratic primary debate in New Hampshire) “ I believe that we should make community college free. We should have debt-free college if you go to a public college or university. You should not have to borrow a dime to pay tuition. I want to use Pell grants to help defray the living expenses that often make a difference, whether a young person can stay in school or not. I disagree with free college for everybody.” ( 2015 CBS Democratic primary debate in Iowa) “We ought to be making sure every qualified student can go to college and pursue his or her dreams. And you know, there’s a very easy way to do that. All we have to do is cut all the tax breaks for oil companies, pharmaceutical companies and billionaires and put it into student aid.” ( Annual 2006 Take Back America Conference). Hillary Clinton wants to make all education affordable for the lower class. She does want free community college, but she does not want to make college free as a whole. She believes that all children have potential or as she says “I want every child in America to live up to his or her God given potential”.  She wants children to be able to pursue their dreams without going into debt. This will be the best for our country because it could raise the economy with all the children being educated. They could take over the jobs that some people can't do anymore, and the newer ones that don't exist yet. Their parents no longer would have to pay for such an expensive education. They could send their kids to college without paying such a large bill. 
       In conclusion America should vote for Hillary Clinton to be the next president. Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to be president. She cares about getting the guns out of the hands of the wrong people, and keeping them in the hands of the responsible gun owners. She also really cares about the education of the children in the United States. She wants every child to have a chance at getting a quality education. She wants people to be able to pursue their dreams without happening to go into debt while doing so. She believed that all the children have potential to do the things they dream of doing.
